[QUOTE="Venley, post: 6937284, member: 6856483"] Female here. About a quarter of my characters over nearly 40 years have been male. They range from stereotypes to well-remembered personalities that feature in our group's stories decades later. I find it easier to portray intellectual or artistic men than really macho guys (the latter tend to come out very stereotyped). As for my players (we rotate GMs), all are male. One rarely plays women but does a great job of leader-types when he does. One was a young student when I met him and he refused to play women but after chatting with him over several months, he has rarely played other than women since ... ok but not well. The other two of my main players split genders about 50/50 and both represent either gender very realistically. Others who play more rarely with us tend to play fewer women. The only others who stand out as not playing women at all over the years were gay or Muslim. In games where we are playing so many different species, it always surprises me that some people get hung up on the issue of a different gender. [/QUOTE]
