Personally I rather like playing male characters over female characters, even though I'm female. :XD I guess my reason came more from the fact that I hung around boys more and was more of a 'tomboy' then a girly girl when I was younger. Hotwheels over barbies any day for me. :XD Anyways that doesn't mean I won't play a female character. Even though I rather like playing males 9/10 I'll go with the gender that has the least amount of people playing it. I've also found that there's a few people I regularly rp with that prefer playing female characters so naturally I just take up the male role, so I've gotten use to it too. :XD
