What gender are you and what gender do you usually play as in CRPGs if you get to choose?

Silverstar

If you look a lot at women, you get slapped.

If you look a lot at a Picasso painting, people go "Oooh, look at him analyzing that painting, he must be all cultured and stuff!"

Women are mean

Slapping? I prefer to punch or kick people.

Well a lady will slap if she is angry, but then punching or kicking can be more efficient sometimes

Which remind me an italian saying: "Come dice la mamma Rocca? Si guarda, ma non si tocca."
It means: "As mama Rocca says: you may behold, but don't touch."
I guess it can be applied with art and people as well, uh?

Returning in topic, I have also played as a male in a MMO to not get all the gifts from the male players and be left in peace.
And I make male characters so I can see the romance options for males, out of curiosity.

I generally start with a male character, and then if it warrants a replay, or if I utterly stuff up that run, I'll restart with a female.

Here's my current babe from Fallout new vegas. She really mostly sneaks about with a sniper rifle, but sometimes you just gotta use a minigun

@The_Potty_1 Agreed. There's a time and place for every weapon. Whether you want to stand back and watch the fireworks, or tickle someone's neck. With a combat knife.
