    Default I am not a girl because my toon is a girl.

    I don't normally do rants but I was curious if anyone else has this issue. My main is a male character and all my alts are female. In RL I am a male and in most games I will choose a female if it is an option( fable or dragon age for example). I don't think it's odd or anything. When I play on my alts at least once while I am on someone will ask to date me or where I live and how old I am. One even asked to be my cbf...( note i had to ask what this meant)

    I't doesn't make me mad but it is annoying at times when im merchanting and getting wierd pms from people. And most ppl go away, but seem confused, when I tell them I am not a girl.

    Do any PL elves have this problem? What about you girls out there tanking with bears? As for SL anyone else have this prob? Funny stories to tell? Just curious. Sort off topic, anyone want to make a guild <I am not a girl>. XD
    Oh and </rant>

    Yeah my mage Geriatrica gets "will you be my gf" and "are you a Spanish girl". More than aggravating.

    I'm with Stomp. Yes, I argued with you before and now I'm agreeing with you. I'm allowed to do that. Anyway, I had one guy in SL ask me to be his star girl. To this day I'm not sure what that is.

    Just because we prefer to not look at a guy's behind while playing ANY game does not make us real girls.

    But hormonal boys will be boys. It's not like they were told that female character isn't really one.

    I wish PL could have genders like SL it be so helpful.. Because it happens to me sometimes just because your a Enchantress it does not make you a girl so please apply genders to PL thanks.

    I'm a girl and I was in Plasma Pyramid with my bear a while back and the other people were having a very...interesting ...conversation. One of them suddenly asked if there were any girls in the group and immediately someone said, "nope, all guys here lol." Ah well, I just kept quiet and listened to the...interesting...conversation that they deemed shouldn't be shared with girls. Understandable considering the topic

    I don't have this issues at all with either my enchantress or my female characters in SL, guess it's all in the ign. Just proves that it's all about perception, even in the virtual world.

    Ya same problem. In PL I gave my enchantress a girl name because shes always a girl. In SL you can choose your gender, but I wanted to keep the same names. So my engineers a girl with a girl name. :/ It creates some problems but I guess its my fault for choosing such a name. Not only that but i feel like people will see me as some sort of weirdo if I tell them im a guy, so I usually dont say anything about it.

    I have this problem as well sometimes. I am a male in real life and my main character is a female.

    If you do encounter comments that are questionable, I'd report it, especially if it is overtly sexist.

    Well this isn't exactly eharmony. A bit strange that folks assume gender based on a cartoon character. LOL

    I happen, to like the gender locked classes. Call me weird I guess. These conversations tend to be funny sometimes.

    Amen! I don't like looking at a guy's behind if I can avoid it. Disturbing.
