If your going to be following an ass around an MMORPG for hours upon hours it may as well be a nice one is the excuse I get.
I actually role play in RPGs though, so I play male characters because I am in fact male. My one buddy who plays mostly female toons and RPs females isn't girly or anything, he's in to guns, in the military, marrying a rather attractive woman, the only girly thing about him is his taste in beer....and his RPG toons.
I did roll a female shephard, because I heard there was a noticeable difference in play through so I went through just for shits and giggles, I made her as bad ass as humanely possible though just for my own personal amusement.
