Guys who pose as Female Charaters in MMO's A.k.A MMO Catfish

[D351]

Not sexually attracted to video game characters and therefore don't care.

[cassell]

never understood the " i make female chars cuz i like to see a female from behind rather than a male char". Do you really stare at your char when you're playing?

Exactly. Sounds like an excuse for being a pervert or unsure about themselves in real life and looking to experiment.

you do realise game has an 18+ certificate?

It doesn't matter one bit. I saw a boy, who couldn't have been more than 14, buy a copy of Age of Conan at Walmart. Just because they say there is an age requirement doesn't mean those under that age limit will not slip through.

I remember I played Doom 95 when I was like 5 years old or something.

Yeah, people never really cared about those age restrictions, just a quick heads up for you.

you guys/gals ever seen that MTV show Catfish? Its pretty much a show where they meet some one whos been speaking a some one online for a long time and are in love with them but have never met the person then these 2 guys help them meet to see if they are who they say they are in person which in most times it aint its a different person than in the pics,some guy posing as a girl or girl posting as a guy

anyway to my point

Their are alot of guys who play as female characters so they can try charm free things off of guys like a cyber gold digger lol happens all the time ive caught a catfish or two of my own one tried and tried and tried to sweet talk me (via in game text) and then say hey do you got a few thousand gold you can give me and when i never would get mad at me until one day they said BTW im a guy and you thought i was a girl your sad...... yea im the sad one

Have you ever ran into one of these catfish? and if so what happened
if not whats your view on this? maybe your a catfish who would like to tell us about some huge item some one gave you

haha this is hilarious, just cause an avatar is a girl i have no difference in my decision making, ill be like f off girl i aint your sugar daddy, kinda what i would say in real life. go figure

when i was younger my cousin gave me his id and got a new one, so i would go clubbing with my sister and her friends, and i would see how easily they would work guys for free drinks, and they would hand me the drink right in front of them... from that point i knew girls play guys so much and they fall for it nearly every time, i wish every guy had an experience like that, cause then they'd know better then to fall for their acting

I always have to wait the 10-15 seconds after joining a new vent/TS of "oooh a real life girl...", and in EVE even though I talked on vent all the time I had a corpmate who had a policy that there is no convincing a player in eve is female "there are no women in EVE" was the mantra lol.

I met my husband in EQ1, times were a wee bit more innocent back then about cross dressing toons IMO too. I'm no more inclined to give a female char something than a male.

I'll agree times are not so "innocent" if they ever where and a few stalkers later I don't give personal info until I've know gamers for a while, like most games these days don't last long enough to even qualify hehe. Guys seem to be all excited about posting pics and joining gaming FB pages etc and get all touchy when you say, yeah no I'm not FB friending you lol. Guys get more touchy about wanting "proof" you are a girl when I don't want your potential stalking behind having pics, old gamer names/tags, my FB connect, etc etc.

I don't care even a little about the cross dressers... if their weren't any the MMO landscape would look like a sausage-fest. I will say "ooh girl you don't even know.." and refer to you as "She" alllllll the time though haha well after it's been disclosed you are a G.I.R.L. Comes with the territory..

I roll with whichever has better animation. The female characters in Dragons Dogma look great. In Dark Souls Witch Beatrice's outfit is stunning. Especially when you have a high dex build and a katana. In Mass Effect and Oblivion the male class look badass and have better armour. The idea that guys who choose to play female characters are secretly gay is incredibly insulting. It always gets spewed out whenever this topic is raised and the undercurrent of homophobia it contains reflects badly on the gaming community.

Pretty much this. Half expect em to be standing in front of a mirror with their mother's clothing on too, "I'm a pretty girl!", proper creeps.

[Irres169]

I like to pretend to be a girl online, so when guys hit on me, it makes them Gay.
