Why do so many guys play as female characters?
It's so confusing when someone joins a fireteam with a female character and ends up being a dude (*cue Aerosmith*).
Do they all just want the D? But seriously, can any guys who do this shed some light on.. why?
I feel like someone pulled an Oprah, "You get a female warlock, and YOU get a female warlock! Everyone gets female warlocks!"
Edit: Jesus H. Christopher, I'm curious. I've noticed this quite often since I started playing, and I can't answer this question for myself, so I wanted some insight. inb4more "why do you even caaaaare?!!1!?!?"
Edit again: holy -blam!-, I'm a girl. Hence why I don't have insight to why this happens.
Edit, take three: thanks to everyone who gave a legitimate answer! I appreciate the insight :-)

I prefer the female body build to the male; I don't want my characters looking like Thor with the Iron Man suit on. Male 30 Warlocks are comical. Honestly, when I'm away from the Tower for a while, I forget my character is female. The build is just slender, and could very well be a non-superhuman-level-strength male.

couldn't make a male character I was pleased with

My main character is a male warlock, but my second character is a female titan. Why do I do it? Because I can ! Next I'm going to make a male exo with a white metallic finish and greens eyes. Now why would I do something like that? What are the deep psychological reasons for me wanting to craft a robotic avatar that doesn't resemble me in any way, shape, or form? Simple: Because I can!

Lot's of reasons really. Some players chose opposite gender for psychological reasons i.e they enjoy being percieved as something they are not. But most just do it to have variety. If you have multiple characters it would get bland to have them all the same gender(this applies more to other games, as generally speaking gear looks different on male/female models). The lesson from this, of course, is to never believe anything internet!
