I avoid using girl characters, mostly psychological and moral reasons, if I can in social games. Some people don't care, some like it, give me your thoughts. It's a question that has been nagging at me for a while, and what are reasons for it(besides those in gender locked games). Most games have all genders balanced, to a po

almost exclusively go for girls as opposed to guys, partly because I can say with definitive confidence that 80% of my friends/acquaintances/significant-others are female, and as such I have a pretty good idea what goes on in their heads.

Be silent, wench.On topic, we have no real aversion to playing the opposite gender, as we understand each other rather well.Still doesn't stop her from being an idiot with regards to how she acts in game.

s I said, I think of myself as myself, in most forms of what I do. Writing, art, talking, a lot of things. Of course, my personality is erratic, so I'm different most days. I have an irrational fear of people thinking something of me that I don't like, whether they are strangers, friends or family. As such, I suffer real and imaginative peer pressure. I try not to care, but it nags at me. Everyone that knows me, knows a different side. This goes well with making stories and such, but in real life I'm just the weird kid. I try to make friends, but I seem to annoy people. That's basically the root of my troubles. Also paran

Anyway, for single player or local multi player game, I couldn't care less what gender is the character I play. For multi-player online game, I wouldn't play a female character. It is weird when people treating you like a girl, you have to act all cutesy when they give you free lo
