Never been a fan of playing as female characters. Just makes me feel like a cross dresser or something...

I know most of the female chars ingame are in reality guys. The line that I've heard from most guys is "If I gotta stare at some pixelized character's butt for hours, I'd rather stare at hers."
I'm assuming that most gamers aren't picturing themselves as being the character they control. The characters take on their own identities which is separate from my identity. (Just talk to Ursen for an hour and you'll get the point). Most of my characters are female but I have created a few male chars and I don't have an issue with it.
It's funny but when I pug, even though I'm on a female char, most of my teammates assume i'm a guy.

"On the internet, All the men are men, all the women are men and all the children are FBI."

That does sound like something Stc would post.
They just want to be pretty is that so wrong?

"I feel pretty...oh so pretty...I feel pretty and witty and bright. And I pity any girl who isn't me tonight."
And a brown dye to anyone who knows the musical reference for that one.

I didn't google but I think it was West Side Story?

that's a brown dye for the Mighty Gerbil
I'd take it but I don't have GW loaded at the moment. I had to give the HD it was loaded on to someone. I'll just hit you up sometime when I get it installed again and I am feeling brown
... Wait I'm a Gerbil I always feel brown .

I just received a note from the members of clan Erse, delivered by Ursina. "We absolutely will not discuss our respective reality, but we will dismiss your reality off hand."

Yeah - just about anything the Muppets do is my favorite, too.
I've heard that a bit. Also, "you're more likely to be given free loot as a female character."
Oh internets. lol

What female profession will get me free booze? And just how scantily clad must I be?
My response to that tends to be that if you're staring at your character you aren't looking at your surroundings carefully enough.
