I heard a story about a guy playing Everquest. There was a guy who was friends with a female character in his guild, and they would flirt and talk and group together. Well, one day the guy with the male character told the "female" that he (giant nerd) loved her (guy with giant penis). When the girl tells him that he's a guy, the (giant nerd) guy flips out and quits the guild and EQ.
The moral of the story is that there are people who use the internet who don't quite have the social skills that most possess in real life. While I might find it funny that a man fell in love with a RPG character, he was devasted.
I personally don't see anything wrong with having a female/male character, but you do have to be careful in how you interact with others while you're in that world.
