You guys are not real monks. Real monks do not flirt with women, they practice their gung fu all day with the ultimate goal of unifying the mind, body, and spirit.

Wise man John Smedley was questioned by a young traveler if the number of online gamers is growing fast enough to support all the new games? And are they all still guys?And thus he responded with wise words...<blockquote><hr>John Smedley wrote:<DIV>It is indeed growing fast enough. In the U.S. alone, that population is over 2 million. When EverQuest I launched, the online gaming population was about 5 percent female. Since then, the total population has grown 800 percent and women now make up 15 percent. The scarier number is that over half the people who play online play as women (laughs).</DIV><hr></blockquote>

<DIV>Those numbers would fit with my general 1 in 4 rule, i.e. of the female characters you meet usually about 1 in 4 are real women.  They're usually easy to pick out because they tend to be the ones that don't flirt obsessively.  </DIV>

<DIV>I wouldn't be suprised if a hell of a lot of the females we encounter while playing this game are guys. As someone has said there seems to be a mindset where it's ok to flirt with other guys if you're roleplaying a girl. That just screams gender issues to me :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Gnoishpa]

<DIV> <DIV>I must say that it's odd how many she-males there are out there and how few he-chicks there are.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Having known several women IRL that play MMORPGs, I can say that they all preferred to play female characters. In fact, only one of them even rolled a male toon, and that was only because she said she was "sick of getting harrassed cuz i'm a chick".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>just interesting I think, that it's such a one-sided thing...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bransen </DIV> <DIV>Gnomish</DIV> <DIV>Monk</DIV> <DIV>Crushbone</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>What I find most disturbing is not how many males in RL play females, but how many males are so nervous about it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm a guy with a female Wood Elf Monk and a Male Gnome Wizard.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why a female?  Well, I dunno, a female wood elf seemed more graceful than a male toon and so fit my role-playing style better.  Plus, the wood elf male toon is pretty ugly imo and the female is pretty and I like the "close to nature" aspect of the wood elf.  Finally, I wanted to name a character after my wife.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Usually, when I play mage types in RPG's I'll roll a female (i.e. Never Winter Nights, Diablo II, and Knights of the Old Republic).  I'm sure that many if not most who play RPG's could say the same.  Of course, those games are single player, so you can do that comfortably in the privacy of your own home and not live in mortal fear that someone might actually find out that you are a GUY playing a GIRL and "[expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] you must be teh [Removed for Content]!"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
