Do male characters have to chase the tail of everything female in order for them to be convincingly male? I find that the majority of our games are gender neutral 95% of the time. It is only the rare cases where the DM pulls out a situation where there might be a romantic/crush incident with a NPC. As long as those 5% incidents are done well the other 95% of the time it doesn't matter what gender a character is.This is how I see real life as well. I am/have been friends with about 50/50 males and females. Just as I stated above 95% of the time things are gender neutral and the work or socializing aspect has nothing to do with the genders of the people involved. It is only when romance/sex becomes involved does the differentiation become pronounced. So unless a game focuses heavily on the romance/sex side of things I see it as rarely being a problem. Although it just may be my particular group that doesn't choose to focus on romance/sex with the characters, and for that I am glad.Edit: Grammar</blockquote>
