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

And I don't have a problem with you meeting someone that way, or others who have done the same. My issue has always been with those that have tried to give me something, with the attitude that they somehow now own me. Toss in an experience with an online stalker, and thus my policy.

Online stalker. Been there. That is why I don't give ANY details or post photos. You can scream I'm a guy or whatever you want, but until you've had some psycho invade your life on and OFF line (my stalker came to the apartment where my ex and I lived), you don't understand how paranoid that can make you.

I usually play male characters, because I tend to prefer the mesh models used for male characters. Female meshes often have weirdly thin arms and shoulders, and bizarrely proportioned heads/necks. Also, I'm male, which influences that choice, I guess.

A while back I RP'd some female characters for some practice with female dialogue, but I was very careful to let people down gently when they tried to make a move.

There was one Russian guy with very bad English. I'd killed him, and he was cussing me out in Russian, for about twenty minutes. For fun, I responded in RP as a female, since I was on the female character. He was quiet for about five minutes (while he translated what I'd said, I suppose) and then he came on strong. Really strong. NSFW strong.

So I laughed, and let him down hard.

In Defiance I'll be playing a male Irathient, and then whatever the DLC race is next.

But as some people have been linking males with female toons to sexuality and femininity/masculinity, I'll link you to Steve Hughes.

I had a guy that tried the "Prove to me you are a woman, or I will just assume you are a guy" line on me once. My reply to him was "Please do, that way I don't have to ignore you." It settled that issue, and we went on to become fairly good friends in the game despite him never quite knowing one way or the other.

I tend to find most online games the other way; the women are well done, but the male characters are terrible looking! I was pleasantly surprised with Defiance though, and I will have one of my characters be a man as I found a look that I liked. The other two will be an Irathient and Human women.

LOL, AWESOME! Thank you for that video link!

I'm a girl that plays MMOs on occasion. FPS mmos are a new thing for me. I started with Firefall and am now trying this after it was suggested by my significant other.

However, like all MMOs I've played (Ultima, EQ, WoW, SWToR) and this, I make it a point to make sure I do not let others know I'm a woman in real life. If asked I say I'm a guy or will avoid the topic all together.

I also avoid sweet talk or cutsie talk if I can avoid it. Sometimes it slips, but for the most part I always steer OOC and RP conversations to the game at hand and away from personal life. I'm the type of **** that will put you on /ignore or avoid you if you start asking me personal questions or getting too friendly. It's not that I want to be mean, it's just that I want to relax and enjoy the game and not be pestered.

I will only use voice chat if absolutely necessary (like in WoW) and usually that turns into a mess. For what ever reason once they find out I'm a girl, they begin to whisper me their drama.

I tend to prefer simple games that are simple to get into and play. I avoid "raiding" or any form of hardcore play. I'm just not fast enough or interested enough to learn the ins and outs of a game. Hence you'll rarely see me playing something like League of Legends or games like that.

I deplore guys playing as girls and here's why; they give us a bad rap. The occasional guy that plays a female character and doesn't try to pass off as a woman in real life, I'm more than fine with. When they start doing the political correct White Knighting of; "As a woman, I'm insulted by XYZ" I always roll my eyes and say good grief.

Best way to be put on my ignore list or avoided is to be a guy trying to pass off as a lesbian girl hitting on me. Straight to the /block or ignore chute. No offense intended.

Well from your thread title...
How can you pose as a female character?
So someone could say play an MMO select the elf race and they are posing as an elf I suppose?

Now if someone selected a female character and said they were a woman IRL but were actually a man than this person is called a GIRL. Guy In Real Life. And if they are doing it for freebies than shaaaaaaame on them.

But men playing as female characters simply because they like to look at a female form over a male one. Completely normal.
