... so very many males opt to play female characters. Why do you think this is? I'd like to figure out exactly what makes the ratio so skewed.
Troll question, which has been discussed in at least 20 different threads.
Troll.

Yes, but the OP and most of the thread is more than 8 months old, until somebody necroed it 2 days ago.

What's kind of creepy is the guys who roll a female character and it seems
they almost get off on the attention they receive from people
thinking they are a woman playing.
I rolled a female dwarf so ppl would leave me alone.

main reason why i hate most of the female models is because they tend to look odd to me, and tend to be anorexic barbie dolls with giant bewbs and butts. hard to take them seriously.Lol, and you like the female draenei, queens of the T&A?

Most women I know who play WoW only roll one character. However most guys I know have 4+, including myself. That is the main reason IMHO.
LULZ to that my good sir. Being a female WoW player I would like to say that I have 4 level 80's and working on leveling up a couple more. True, most chicks I know only roll one, but ^&*!. That's way too boring imo.
Oh by the way, 4 of my 10 total toons are male. Dunno why, just thought it'd be fun to play a guy. Boyfriend thinks its gross. Ha.
Most people seem to assume I'm male regardless of which character I play (until they hear me on vent), and I'm fine with that. People do treat you differently when they think you're female, but it's not just helping out/gifts/all the other excuses. Apparently some would believe that having a certain extra appendage makes one a better, more competitive gamer. Any girl that plays is only there because her significant other does, she's only in a decent guild because she's flirting with the guild leader, and she only has gear because everyone else carries her. Or she's just a hideous pigbeast in real life. I enjoy proving those people wrong.
Ahh, I love proving them wrong too. And when I do meet the girls like that, I have this deep desire to reach through my computer and choke them.

I am a female playing a male character (blood elf) and other male characters in different games.
The only reason I'd pick a male character is for eye pleasure. I do find that when I play a male character, females hit on me! lol it's the other way around, XD!
I just go with it because it's funny..hahaha. It probably helps that I was a tank too, so I'm front and center for raids and such as Main tank or Off tank. Amazing the type of attention you get as the raid tank....it's like showing off all your manly muscles.
I honestly like it, secretly. Inside this fantasy world, I can finally be free of being a woman and see what it's like being a man. I live in Japan, and nothing is as patriarchal as Japan is. I have to act feminine all the freaking time..... speak softly, be submissive, keep hair and skin in soft & supple shape, keep thin, be attentive to housework, etc. etc. It's very annoying and depressing. God I hate being a woman. If I had a choice of my own birth, I would wish to god to be born a man. It is better in the man's world.
But I'm straight...obviously since I like men. Cant help having hormones and feelings that make me a woman I guess....but inside, I think my previous lives were all as men. Hm... then again if I was a man, I'd still be attracted to men, so I guess I'd be gay then? lol

I play females because the smaller body is harder to click and thus gives you an edge.
Yeah, i minmax.

Japan is at the same time one of the most advanced parts of the world and one of the most backwards.
It's strange isn't it?

Want to hear a funny story?
Some people in one of my guilds once referred to me with a male pronoun without knowing my real-life gender. I was like "excuse me, but this particular character is female", and this led to a lot of talk about RP realms versus regular realms and one comment that if I was female in real life, then I either sucked or I was a healer. The punch line of this story? This character happened to be a holy paladin... and I've learned that I really suck at playing holy paladins >.<
But anyway, in 2 years of rolling female toons, that was the first time anyone expressed a damn about the gender of my meatspace avatar. I'm therefore going to assume that the sexist jackasses are, in fact, a minority.

I have 2 lvl 90s: one is a Druid NE male (healer), the other a DK NE female. I find it real fun to beat the crap out "guys" and monsters using a female in a plate dress.
In my mind the horde think the following in a bg: "omg! She's so pretty... Omg she owning me."
