I play so many games as the macho/manly man's man, every once in a while I like to play as a lady. Not so much for the view, but moreover for the voice acting. I just like listening to ladies talk more than guys.

1. More fun to look at, especially in third person perspective.
2. The reactions of male NPS...lots of developers now put in differences in the way NPCs treat female characters. See Bethesda games for instance.
3. The whole point of gaming is to get outside yourself and live a life you never could (or only through great hardship). The more exotic and unrealistic the better, and for me that's playing as a chick. This reason is also why I don't like military shooters.

I enjoy playing as females mainly because its very rare to see a kick-ass female protagonist in most media (Alice in the Resident Evil movies and Salt are the only too recent things I can think of but I am sure there are more), so its nice to be able to create it yourself in a game. I.e in Mass effect its cool to see my female kicking dudes asses.
I'm just gonna go with everyone else and say I'd rather watch a woman's ass than a man's for however long the game goes one. Though I tend to spend more time trying to perfect my character's look than I would if I were playing a male character. I figure if I'm picking a gender for looks, might as well spend some more time on them.
Whenever I play as a male character I'm like "whatever, default looks are fine, let's get to shooting some people".
I pick the female character and I spend an hour at the character creation screen, give up because I'm crap at getting anything good out of those things myself and look up sliders and save files on the internet for another hour before I find something I like.

My games are usually third person perspective because first person gives me Virtual Motion Sickness. So it comes down to this, would I prefer to look as a guy's butt or a girl's butt for the next 20-50 hours?
In all seriousness, I play both genders because I like to see the story from both points of view.

yup same here, i will try a female runthrough after i've beaten the game a good 4-5 times, but in tense moments it breaks immersion for me.Veloxe said:
and like you said, the "dat ass" argument is plentiful
I'll always take the choice of playing as a girl. In video games it seldom matters at all what gender you pick, so why not pick one over the other. In other games I prefer to role play as girls too.
Games are about escapism, and I much prefer to escape into a female form. Male characters tend to be very much of a muchness... Macho wish fulfilment that doesn't have a whole lot of individuality, and when you RPG in a group of five to ten near identical unshaven growling agressive men it feels better to me.
Then again, I like to dress up as a girl sometimes IRL, so make of that what you will.

And cuz I can make up my own sexy back story for my fem chairs. Playing a guy I jist think "meh this guy is kind of a tool... oh why is he saying it like that?! Suck up! Omg look at how tight that armor is... can his balls breath?" So ya playing a chick let's me make up a story about why she acts how she does, vs playing a guy were I measure my cock next to his then spit in his face for not doing it how I would.
Except marston... marshton is just a pure mass of kick ass.
It was only after reading your question that it occurred to me: I always play any game (with morality choices) at least twice - first with a heavy-armour type male hero. Then with a spell-casting type ***** queen.
There is deinfitely some hidden angst/bitterness/freudian thingy that makes me create heroic men and evil women every time!
If there are no choices to be made I will probably play the game only once and then as a male.
This goes for MMOs such as WoW where my chars are overwhelmingly male - shaman, paladin, priest, druid etc etc. Guess what class my one female is? That's right! Warlock...!
