I'm experienced with women (in bed, amirite gaiz?) and men pretty equally, as really when it comes down to it the two genders are more or less the same emotionally (except for some fun differences you can exploit in either case). I've not done a girl in Arm yet, but if I do she'll be a gicker, of either the very young or very old variety.

I gotta play another guy again soon.  Maybe a gypsy guy.  I bet I could get him laid easy.

Guy characters are easy to get mudsex for. Almost as easy as girl characters.

I've only played female characters. I'm not opposed to trying a male out, that just hasn't been any of the good character concepts I've come up with yet...most likely because I think like a girl, and my concepts always come out girly.

Of note, none of the females I've played have not been girly girls...oh wait, there was one, but she was a slave and it was her JOB to be girly. All my other girls have been fighter types, going out toe to toe with the guys. I think it would be fun to play a d00d though. I'm all for it, eventually.

Edited because they have NOT been girly girls, which I evidently didn't write right the first time.

I played a male half-elf once. And it was hard. Really hard. People didn't even talk to me. It was hard in more ways than I could imagine. Though, it made playing the pc easier in a way.

QFT.

I love playing male breeds. There is no better loner.

I have only ever played one female PC, maybe 9 or 10 years ago.

My buddies girlfriend wanted to try and play Armageddon. I was just teaching him how to play and had just wrote up his first character for him, to make sure he got approved.

So I wrote her up a character to.

This horrible of me to admit, but it was 10 years ago, so fuck it...

He still plays to this day, but SHE logged in for about 10 minutes, got bored, and never played again.

She was a ranger, with AMAZING stats. My pc was relatively new. So let my account go on hold and jumped onto her new account and played her PC.

I COULDNT LET THOSE STATS JUST SIT UNUSED. She had extremely good everything. It was perfect.

I played her for about three RL hours, got multiple offers for mudsex, it indeed was like playing Armageddon on Easy Mode, and then I stored her.

Even godly stats wouldnt let me play a female pc.

I played a F'me once.  I couldn't handle the sexual advances thing so I stored her.  If I ever play a woman again she's doing to be missing a few teeth and maybe an eye.  She'll be Byn Sergeant who will rip your balls off....yeah.

If you think this will stop male characters from hitting on your female character, you are oh-so-wrong. In fact, I think my most-desired character so far has been an extremely tough, militaristic woman. Apparently, handing out beatdowns at the Gaj is a major turnon.

--have you ever been with a warrior woman?

New character idea:

Andromeda, the buff, one-breasted woman.

Actually I think I'd like to write a character as a man (or woman) and then once the entire character creation is complete go back and flip all the gender pronouns in their personality, history and appearance and see how they turn out.

I've played men and women both on MUDs and I've had as many horribly rped male as female characters.  Really, we're all the same under the secondary sexual characteristics.  There shouldn't be too much that'll give you away, unless you slip up and do something like:

>Reaching beneath the bar, he busty blonde woman adjusts herself through a pair of sandcloth trousers.


Oh and yes, in my experience men get as much action as the ladies.  And no, physical appearance has very little to do with how much your character is hit on. People are after attitude and roleplaying.

The way the conflicting information in this thread falls out, it looks less like one sex is favoured over the other, and more like casual genderbenders are more consciously aware of sexual paradigm of the opposite sex than the members of that sex.

Yeah that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

This is patently untrue. Except in-game.

Then don't post such statements to begin with?

I played a female once during the occupation of tuluk. I got so much stuff several changes of clothes. And people flirted with me and made innuendos all the times. I thought she was an average looker.

I'm digging playing a girl. There's less you have to worry about. Like getting your ass kicked around the Gaj, and people ganking you when you're alone.

I've been playing to many rinthi neckers and half-elfs.

The only time I was ever tempted to play a female was when I was thinking about apping a Lirathan templar. They're de-sexualized enough that I think I'd of been able to pull it off.
I wanted to play one because I've always been really curious about them, and I think they have the potential to be some of the most awesome, ass-clenchingly terrifying characters in all of Zalanthas. But, then again, that's true of any templar, when you think about.

I haven't played a guy yet simply because I feel Zalanthas doesn't have enough female PCs as it is.  If I did, the only character I would play as a male would be a half-giant, 'cause the concept of playing a huge jiggly female HG doesn't really do it for me.

Do I feel some half-giant siblings coming up!?

Oooo... yup.  I think you do. 

I generally play one female character every two or three male characters.

Haven't played a female character... yet.

I figure I'll give it a try sometime. Then I can ask my girlfriend for RP advice!

...

I think that'd strain our relationship.

Only sometimes.
