right on, sistah! trolls are way hot. i find the male humans to be rather repulsive, what with their facial expressions and disproportionate muscles… O.o rofl

oh darn, look at all these comments… doubt mine’ll ever get read…

i started playin WoW when i was like… what? 6, i think? anyways,it was long time ago (well, not really) and a just got my BF to start about a month ago.

and ROFL whaddaya know? he made a female paladin human. hm… i dont exactly approve of his choice, especially because the paladins’ armor shows a lot o’ skin (female ones: if it were the males that showed skin i would make more of them)

But i thought it was hilarious when my dad made a female dwarf paladin… what with their plump and stocky figures and all that revealing armor… xD good times…

but i dont think you can just classify all these “female-playing-males” into just 1 category.

but i liked the graph
was fun to read and made me lol xD

I play with my husband now but when I started I was alone – and played male characters mostly. When I began playing with my brother I moved onto female ones. I didn’t intend to hide my gender but I did find it better to, unless I knew people well. Some guys can be creepy online, not so much with hitting on me, but acting weird and self-concious and grilling me on why I would play a male troll. Cos he’s hot, that’s why.

OMG When I played (only about a month cuz I got kinda sick of it) my first day I had this guy that was basically stalking me with my bf right there with me. It was sooo creepy. =P

ditto on all counts, when I do on occasion get hit on I just ignore it- not like I’m hanging around in city chat long enough for it to affect me!

I’m not on that chart as well. I’m a girl who plays girl characters and rarely gets hit on. Very amusing, though!

By: AlyenBird

AlyenBird — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 05:45:51 +0000

When I first started I was in the red part of the graph. I made and played a male character. Then I realized that most people just automatically assumed I was a guy regardless of my toon. So now I have a whole lot of female characters, and I havent been hit on yet.

By: autumngerfen

autumngerfen — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 00:22:15 +0000

heheh

I don’t fit in that chart. I’m female, play a female character, don’t hide it, and don’t get hit on. But I still find the chart amusing.

Very, very true. I started playing when a female friend told me I could play a troll. AWESOME.
Then I got the husband on board. His toons are all female, mine are all male, and I never tell anyone I’m female. None of the girls in our guild do. We pugged a druid a couple weeks ago, and as soon as he heard us on vent, he got SUPER creepy.

Dear fourteen year old boys. Keep it in your pants. We do not want to be your ‘internet girlfriend’.

Yeah, I knew some guys who “prostituted” their female characters in wow. Some made most of their gold doing lap dances, even if the guys knew the person playing was a guy. They also did cyber for ingame gold.

Girls don’t play wow.

By: Elise

What about the wow-whores graph segment?

The ones that go /2 “Hey I’m a girl!! I have boobies!!1 hehehehe” in an attempt to fish for equally desperate and socially challenged males.

They’re everywhere >.>

I started playing on my boyfriend’s account. I liked it so much that I went out and bought it for myself and now I play it all the time. Aww yeah, Blood Elves!

Dude… I roll a little female gnome mage… some dude gave me 300g for no reason. It was sweet, but I was a little disappointed.
I think I sounded like a girl to most of the guildies and peeps I encounter cause they got confused when I went on Vent or Voicechat in groups.
I like being a gnome cause kickin pvp ass feels so much more satisfying when you look like a 5 year old girl. Girls are pretty cool.
…trust me, it’s not about the butt…

#1 rule of online gaming:
A. All men are men
B. All women are men
C. All 15-year-old girls are FBI agents.

I play wow, yes my husband plays it, but we don’t play ‘together’ I have female characters though cos i dont like the look of the males..

The reason I got WoW was because my (now Ex) GF made me play it. XP

lol, I play wow with my GF, and sometimes I also play on an alternate character, usually a blood elf, a female, it is good to the economy, I just have to ask for money and lots of other guys give me gold just cause they think Im a girl

I’ve been playing WoW for three years. I’m actually a girl playing a female toon, and have had very few guys hit on me.

However, most of the female toons are played by guys…I’ll give you that much. :/

Rofl, love it. Firmly part of the “green” piece, although I raid more than my boyfriend does right now. I have one or two male characters, but most of mine are female (including my DK, rogue and warrior, tyvm, as well as the more “feminine” clothies mage, priest, and warlock). I might also add that my fiance’s priest is a spindly male undead. I lead raids, I am a big part of our guild, and I know how to play. Gotta love stereotypes. :p

My girlfriend and I have always played male toons as well.

Apparently YOU didnt read it either

Here I’ll even point out the IMPORTANT part of my post for you

“who isnt insane or manipulative”

Its like someone once told me, when looking for a woman, you get to pick ONLY TWO of the following three things.

Sane
Single
Pretty

get it now?

That’s nice. It was just confusing as your reply didn’t seem very relevant to my post.

By: Bah

Bah — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:41:44 +0000

Haha, it’s funny how people will invent any explanation other than that you are a girl.

My partner and I run a guild, but both have male toons. When new guildies find out that we’re together, they assume we are a gay couple- because gays are soooo much more common than women.

I dunno, My Chemical Romance *are* losers.

Apparently Ozzy Osbourne (sp?) also plays, as do some other famous metal artists. :O

It’s not odd that I play a male toon- it’s odd that women are questioned for playing out of gender while men aren’t.

For my excuse, see above. ^

You can get variations; some look like that good looking kid that mows your lawn every Saturday; others yeah, the self-impressed quarterback, and of course the ones that look like they’ll be doing a drag show in a couple of years.

Now THAT’S roleplaying!! = )

I have to appreciate that the designers actually create women with figures (except the bony-cheerleader blood elves), even if they are Frazetta fantasy girl figures.

Have no idea where you are, but I’ve been in 3-4 different guilds with plenty of gorgeous, single women.

Plenty of guys play video games who are pretty damn hot, so why do you assume single girl gamers are butt ugly? If that’s your only experience, you need to get out more.

By: Cat

Cat — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:38:48 +0000

fat or ugly *** apparently I am blonde though.

By: Cat

Cat — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:37:52 +0000

I wish I could get my boyfriend to play, but he’s more of a rainbow six kind of guy.
I also openly admit to being a female and I am not or ugly, although when playing openly as a girl in rl you do have fend off men sometimes.

By: Kreth

Kreth — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:26:25 +0000

The sad part though, if you’ll notice, there is no “single girl playing wow who isnt insane or manipulative and doesnt weigh more than most of the male players in your guild” because those women will never exist

By: Deven

Deven — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 08:59:14 +0000

That’s why I joined a GLBT guild. I can tell them I’m a girl, and they’re all like, “That’s cool.”

I actually caught myself staring at a NPC female’s rear, and even funnier is that i was on a male toon.

By: Allie

Allie — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:34:46 +0000

yeah. They need an extra part of that graph that is-
“Females who play WOW and make sure EVERYONE they encounter knows they are.”
Too many times I have run into girls who speak super breathy on vent, or make sexual innuendo all the time, for some odd reason.

By: Pommiegirl

Pommiegirl — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:34:06 +0000

OMG what a great idea! Now I’m gonna have to troll the ah for that armor piece. (I know which one it is…my female pally is wearing it right now.lol)
