Male players: Why do you play female characters?

Damaskox@kbin.social to Gaming@beehaw.org – 105 points –

Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

I used to just make myself in games, but then someone suggested "make a character you think looks good since you're staring at them the whole game" so I did, and then I ended up giving them a personality after playing that game for several hundred hours. Now they're just my oc I always play as. It sucks though because my character uses a "boy" hairstyle so any game that gender locks hair (stupid) can't properly make her.

This is the part that starts feeling epic for me.
When your character starts feeling deep enough that you start creating a personality to them.

I don't recall me making as deep personalities on males than females.
