I start on the highest available difficulty, simply because I usually don't bother finishing a game more than once (I take no less than two months to complete one and there's always a queue in my playlist). Also, difficulty is mostly something to get used to, I don't like when a game is too easy on me, I want to feel a challenge.
Of course, it has to be a fair challenge, I'm old enough to have played through games wholly based on Fake Difficulty, and really hate them.

Hm, I always go for hard. Not that I'm a super legendary gamer or anything, but I like to be challenged. Also if the insane/hardcore/legendary mode is unlockable and the game has somewhat of a replay value, I tend to go for that too. ;3
I normaly start on hard mode, and if I like the game enough work up through the difficltys from there.
Lately I've been playing through mass effect on insane mode, It's tough but I like the challange, even if the amount of times i have died is getting frustrating.

For the first time, medium, but if the game's good enough, I'll do it again on harder difficulties.
Depends from game to game. Most games i start out on easy just because i feel that anything else would be to hard somehow. The exception is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and l4d. Especially in stalker where i ramp up the difficulty to max, turn off any and all help and if necessary i blindfold myself.
)like mos tpeople do i`d assume
Games should be a challenge, I play normal, if its too easy i play hard. I do enjoy completing games on "insane" however it can be very annoying. i.e. get so far and die at the the end and start all over again!
I start on medium (easy is for pussies and Devil May Cry), and work my way up the difficulty ladder.
I'll usually play on what the game recommends, usually medium or hard. Will only play a game on a ridic level if playing co op or know game inside out. After watching house mate, play pretty much everything on insane, have no desire to do so. Games are meant to be challenging and fun. Why plan on a super hard level if it sucks the joy out of it?
depends on the game.
Usually, I start with normal
If I have any problems, I'll usually go down to easy
If it's really easy, I'll go up to a harder difficulty
I beat Mass Effect on Insane.. I doubt I could beat Bioshock on the similar difficulty.
I play games to have fun, and crashing uselessly against a wall isn't that fun.
I prefer games that don't have adjustable difficulty sometimes, like GTAIV.

I play on easy. I'm not hardcore enough to do anything harder, nor can I be bothered to try any other difficulty.
It really depends on the kind of game you're playing. If it's Arma 2 or Stalker, I'll crank it up as high as it can go -- those games are supposed to be realistic, why not make it as realistic as possible? On the other hand, if it's Half-Life 2 I'm playing, I'll usually play on easy, just so I can experience the story and such without all of those mean zombies attacking me. For the latter games, I'll usually play through them again on hard, if I like the game enough.
Normal, usually, although if I'm confident about my abilities within the game I might switch to Hard, which I tend to do after beating the game anyway.
I usually play normal so that I can turn things up if I come back to the game later on and wat a bit more.
