I play a few female avatars because I like the way the armor fits. I like the character models. I like being kinda unique because you don't see a lot of female toons. If you see a female character usually the first instinct is that it's a girl who actually likes games, there is hope to find a girl that I can play with and maybe talk to and maybe form some kind of a relationship with. Because it is kinda rare. Then when they find out that it's a guy it kinda ruins that possibility for them and I think it makes people angry. People have weird issues like that. Just my thoughts, although I have never personally encountered someone who disagrees with my character choice.
