I seriously doubt it's because of gender insecurity that men play males.. ^_^

 

Of course not but that's not what I'm saying. It not a reason for playing a male, it's a reason one might be unable to play a female, or believe they are unable. And the same is true of female gamers and male characters.

 

A question to the gamers who play both genders, do you play a character who just happens to be the chosen sex, or would or play a character of your own gender differently to your opposite gender, even if the two characters were otherwise identical?

I tend to play them both pretty similarly, so I guess I fit into the first group. It's more of an aesthetic change for the character rather than a real character change.

Both, though mostly female. I agree with metadigital's comments on male being the default.

 

I've always had many more females in my life than males, particularly in meaningful roles, and I'm not so insecure in my gender identity that I feel the need to stick to my own.

Latent homosexuality?

Or the fear of it.

 

I don't actually think I've played female that many times. I've never felt that changing the gender ment much besides having a different personality to romance and a different avatar anatomy.

But anatomy is everything!

 

Ah, but it matters not what your avatar is when you are doing a sweet, sweet lobotomy to a dozen grues.
