I'm a male, and I usually play as a male. Often times it's because I role play a lot when I play video games; I enjoy thinking of the character as myself.
When I do play as a female it's usually when i'm just screwing around and want to try new stuff. However, when I play Fusion Frenzy with my friends i'm always the same character, who is a girl. I believe the reason I do that is because of her color, blue.
If I wanted to put more thought into it, I could also say on a more psychological level I may be attracted to her because she is very thin and well shaped, perhaps making me believe she will perform better in the game as far as agility and speed goes. I know that she really is no better nor worse than any other character in the game, but the mindset is still subconciously there.
I have a friend who always plays as female characters on the online RPG Everquest. When I ask him about it, he doesn't really give an answer. I once made a female character on Everquest. I believe at first it was just to screw around with, like I mentioned before, but I actually began to like the character after a while. Not real sure why, other than I remember thinking the face model I chose was actually pertty attractive (red hair + freckles).
