Of course it tends to be "Girls Yay, Guys Nay." Most gamers are guys and most guys like checking out girls in hot outfits, which most female cosplay out fits are.
I must admit I used to find the whole cosplay thing a bit weird. At least the whole "sexy" part of it. Anime girls just are not attractive to me, then I realized there are other things too and it tricked me into liking it.
HOT

Perhaps I have a thing for Elves? My wife is all about the Vulcans so maybe it spread.
Just fucking awesome

I have wanted to trying being a Jedi or possibly a Vulcan for my wifes sake. They just seem so fricken expensive to make.
In my experience, the desireable women for our lot tend to love guys who have an appreciation/skill that's indicates how secure we are in our personalities and sexuality. For example: A few years back, my girlfriend showed me Fruits Basket. I genuinely liked it. She told one of her best friends about it. After she'd convinced her that I'm not gay, she was asked "Can I have him?" Not to mention that if you can sew a damn good costume, your value as a potential husband increases exponentially.
My only gripe about cosplaying is that if I ever go to one of these cons, I have no idea who I'd cosplay as. This is partially due to my playing a lot of WRPGs. But the bigger issue is that I have yet to encounter a character in a video game who makes me think "Holy shit, he looks like me!"
For reference, I'm 5'8" (~1.73 meters), overweight, have wavy/frizzy auburn hair, a large head, a wide jaw, and legs that are much bigger than my arms. In short, I look a lot like Jack Black. I haven't seen a notable video game character who looks like that in any of the games I've played, even if I were to wear a wig. The problem is that notable male characters tend to be tall, as well as
If anyone's got any ideas where I could find a character that might work, I'm all ears and may be willing to try the game if I haven't played it yet.

HWG is also the one of the very few I'm built to cosplay...not that I ever would cosplay. I'd never attend any of the cons, and my insistence on my props being fully functional would mean half my outfit would be banned from the con floor anyway.
Whatever blows your hair back I say. If you want to dress up like Mega Man thats cool...I would prefer the X costume but whatevs. You shouldn't pay any mind to people who make fun. People will be assholes, its a time-tested theory.
