I remember seeing a survey somewhere, I think done in WoW, showing that there are more men playing women, and even more women playing men characters in MMOs. The supposed reason is that men enjoy the special treatment thrown at their female toon, and the attraction of the female toon itself, but women actually avoid what could be received as derogatory treatment, and would rather be treated like a normal player. It was like 70ish and 54%, I don't remeber which was which but I'm guessing it was 70ish for men playing female characters, so vague at this point.

If I play multiple characters, I don't mind making women, but In a mainstream MMO, I am playing a role playing identity, and I typically play only one male character. And in case it wasn't know, I am a guy.
