Why would a guy want to play a female character?

[Neonimus]

I think it's mostly guys. I'm a woman myself, and I never really look at a toon's ass (be it male or female). I tend to look around my toon to see what's gonna try to kill me -- I survive better that way

Like there is a lot ass to look at of the male or female characters :P I think they just made the male character walk strange and thats kind of annoying after a while. How much or less armour the male character wears: it really isn't nice to see him walk/run. And that is a big difference with the (bit) more normal moving female character they came up with.

As been said before , I choose my char depending on what kind of spells and or items i would use for that char. Mostly my casters and archers are females while melee weapons ( spears , axes bla bla bla bla ) i use males .

Also another thing is females ( in my opinion ) have lots more luck of dropping good items than males =) . Some say item seed , some say random .... i say they do .

And females look WAY much better and are more complex then males.....

male casters are gays.
dual-wield female chars are awesome
