Actually, in my experience on WoW, I have a really hard time convincing guy players that I'm actually female. Every time it comes up in conversation they're all, "yeeeeah, suuuuure" or "uh-huh, riiiight," like girls don't play games.
That said, I always play a female, unless of course the character is male--as is the case in nearly every WWII game I've ever played or FPSs, because then there's no choice (some cases rightfully so, as I'm pretty sure there weren't women handling firearms in WWII).
