Males playing females & vice versa. Are you treated differently?

I have 5 characters, 3 females and 2 males and I'm male.

I noticed as well that when playing with my females, invites for groups and other interactions are more frequent than when playing with my male characters and often people told me that my female chars are hot and that they'd bang them.

A couple of days ago, even a guild mate told me that haha.

I made my females the way I would like to be if I were a woman or someone I would date for sure. They all look around their 30's with dark brown ponytail hair, baby face, average-to-thick eyebrows and light green / blue eyes.

I've been playing RPGs since 1977 and seen people of both genders (including myself and my wife) play characters of both genders. No one ever thought it was anything but good fun. And both my wife and I have male and female toons on SWTOR, again because it is fun. If you think that's creepy, that's really about a problem you have I, not a problem I or my wife have.

SWTOR is interactive fiction. I enjoy movies with strong female lead characters, and I enjoy SWTOR stories with strong female lead characters. Nothing creepy about.

If it bothers you, try playing at a time when the 14 year olds are in school or have been put to bed.

Haven't been flirted with on any of my female toons in a while, fortunately.

My main GTA Online character, however...

She gets asked on dates, and people show her all their super cars.

I never understood why people would see themselves as their own character. Thats the creepy thing to me to be honest.

Personly I see it more like the players are the writers, and their characters are the protagionists of their stories.

George R R Martin does not look like Daenerys Targaryen either, but you arent picturing him when you see her on screen.

Never understood why people care so much about the people behind the characters. As an RPer I dont care who or what you are, as long as you respect your fellow players.

I play since beta weekend and have 8 male and 8 female chars. All body types. All races. All colours. Light side. Dark side. All the variety possible.

Not once did anyone approach my female chars differently than my male chars. Not once did someone think I am a woman in real life. Maybe my legacy name is too known on my server, so they all know that I am a guy. I just play normal all the time and everyone treats me normally, too.

Only once did my female dark side jedi knight get a remark in a FP. It was: "Ooohh, a female dark side jedi." It had a drooling-undertone somehow. And my main commendo medic female was once filmed for a livestream on the fleet because of her "baddass-looks". That's all.

Because they want to give someone a virtual BJ?

What is there to not understand?

Here are some useful things to familiarize yourself with:

• Google "What is Topcoat nails"
• Google "How to reapply nail coat"
• Google "products to fix chipped nails"
• And perhaps most importantly, Google "What are gloves"

Modern technology: making fashion not just for supermodels any more!

I would guess his confusion was more at the crass bluntness toward a total stranger...

My toons are often female too. For many of the same (non-scamming) reasons mentioned already: character, VA, etc.

I have only been really 'hit' on once and that was in WoW. The guy just wouldn't drop it. We were in a LBRS run if I recall correctly. I finally said, 'look, buddy, I am pretty sure I have a bigger d**k than you,' and that, thankfully, was the end of it.

Fun times. Anyways, I've seen it in TOR, but I guess my female toons have been lucky. Now that I've typed that ... next time I log in I'm sure to find mysef a stalker. Karma, she does have a sense of humour!

And that response proves you've never actually done any of those things in any quantity or intensity... but it's cute you think those are adequate solutions. The gloves especially.... they're great sometimes, sure, but often they simply get in the way or require design compromises to maintain tactile sensation and dexterity which render them less effective at protecting against certain kinds of dirt, liquids, etc.

I have had my (now ex) girlfriend apply a clear topcoat to my nails before just because she wanted to do them... it supposedly made them stronger. I didn't really notice because my nails never break anyway... I trim them when they need it and knock off burrs with whatever mild abrasive happens to be handy. I'm partial to the "bearskin" they use in the machine shop - 600+ grit sandpaper designed for use on metal. Makes sure they don't catch on things or scratch people.

All that plus gloves where practical doesn't stop the number one nail-maintenance task from being "use a pocket knife to scrape the dark colored debris from under the nails."
