I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. The reason why I'm asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I'm just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

If it's 3rd person game, most of the time I roll female characters cus I just like looking at women. My inner perfectionist desires pretty. I noticed a funny trend, if I roll a male character and the model doesn't look 11/10 I will just get bored of that game and stop playing lmao

On Skyrim, cause I have boob mods,and I love boobs. On any other game I generally play male chatacters cause I am male and that is therefore more relateable to me

When I was a kid I'd always choose princess peach in mario kart. I think it was my way of subtly projecting my confidence in my own masculinity. Basically showing off lol

For me it sorta depends on how engaged I am in the game or think I will be. My default for third person perspective is female because as others have said you are staring at your character constantly. For cyberpunk I did male as it is not third person except when driving and the whole relationship thing. I did the same for baldurs gate again because of the npc interactions. champions I tended to make males as super heroes are closer to my heart so wanted them to be more like me. Another thing though is in many games females can be made smaller and have a smaller hitbox or have other small effects. I made my dragons dogma and elden ring female. I almost always make my characters as small as possible male or female if third person. Even outside of hitbox your character blocks your view.

Who cares. People have been doing this since the inception of video games. Let people have their fun.
