  1. Do you play a female or male character in mmos?

      Female usually since a lot of the male character models just look overblown and silly to me. I usually prefer monstrous/non human races though.

      I pick male 'cause I am a male and it feels weird otherwise sometimes. o.o'

      Its more about aesthetics really with me. It's about 60-40 with me.... the sixty being females.

         Granted its mostly just been Warcraft i've done this in. Only other time i've had the option is in Pokemon and i've done that only maybe once before.

           Take for example the male Draenei. Go ahead, google what they look like. A fine example of yet another overblown male physique that they think we want. I do not want to play some character so physically imtimidating that they can't manage an expression other than a scowl or are so hideously muscular that they almost completely lack a lower body! Numerous times I've played a female character just because the males are outright nauseatingly designed. Womenfolk tend to be downplayed to manageable, if cute, extents. Men seem to turn out a good 70% of the time as flippin' monsters. Women adventurers always sit right on that line of still seeming capable of being competent fighters while still being capable to sit down and have enough intelligence to plan things or compromise. The men are trying to be meatheads.

         Tauren women are kinda cute, still admittedly monstrous due to their species, but the tauren men... have their heads shoved down so far so you can still see their massive shoulders, limbs like tree-trunks the size of their vestigial head.... feet as big as some of the smaller races...

        Heck, the only times I played human was went I wanted my character to look like some posturing jerkwad!

         But that does work sometimes. The orc & worgen men are every bit as overmuscled, but with their backstory it kind of makes sense & its subtle enough to where they can still put on a robe and look like an intelligent, wise wizard.

         I'll admit though... that I am a bit of a manhater...despite being one. I don't trust any character that looks like they got strong just so they could wear loincloths and show off how strong they are. You can still be strong & not be some mound of quivering muscle-flesh.

         There is some truth that video-game-women put up an unrealistically high standard for a body to impressionable younger players that are only just getting a view of their world. I feel that it's at least equal on the male side of things. I look at a male draenei, a Superman, a Schwarschegger, and I think to myself "Am I supposed to look like that? Because I'm pretty sure I'd die in the process."

          A Man always has to be the strong one...
