There are folks who treat their character in first-person. (I am the character, He/She is me.)
..and others in the third-person. (He/She is my character, a seperate entity, I'm still me.)
I fall in the latter group, and I happen to like looking at female characters. I brag to my gf that mine looks prettier, and she gets annoyed. It's how I roll.
She is correct however in her statement that I usually don't know how to do makeup.. xD
