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 :-)

  • If you're really a girl then you should not have an issue with this. Haven't you ever played a game where you controlled a male character before? I've explained this many times before on Bungie.net ( this site seems to be the only one in the world where this a big deal ). For me this is a tradition that goes back to my Phantasy Star Online days. The male characters had attack animations that left them open to counterattacks, the female characters did not. The female characters also had better stats so for 4 straight years I played a game where I exclusively used a female avatar instead of a male one. After a while it just became normal to try out a female Avatar before I did a male one. In Destiny I find that the male characters look short and stocky ( especially the male Titan ) and most of the male hairstyles are silly. I'm much happier with the overall appearance of the female Guardians. When I created a Male Titan in the Beta, every time I saw him in the tower I was overcome with a strong desire to delete him since I was never happy with how he turned out. That's all there is to it, aesthetics.
