You know, I really haven't had to deal with that other than one or two one-off situations. Creepy nonetheless, but hardly common.
Maybe it's because I can't afford the really skimpy armour. Though I do wonder about that... What, I'd be paying for what I'm not wearing?

I always back into a corner out of sight when I have to go AFK. Isn't there enough porn on the internet to keep these nutjobs occupied? =P

My female warrior gets Wammoed all the time! I have had many 'charming' teenage boys try to have internet naughties with me whilst I have been afk or running them somewhere.
I usually pretend to be an elderly man. Who wants pre-teens trying to dirty talk you!

I usually switch off my glads for the less revealing 15k kurzick armor when I'm towning around, but when I wear kurzicks I usually get the noob pms asking me where I got my armor. Of course that's better than the other types of pms I sometimes get when I wear my glads...anyone ever...*barf*...get those??
My monk doesn't really have any revealing armor except the 55 armor I never wear anymore anyway, but still gets wammolested everywhere I go. The rest of my chars are male; I wish I could toggle the option to have all my male chars follow around my female chars and beat up wammos in towns.

I am a male player. I have 5 characters. I have 1 male character. I have 4 female characters. You can get where I'm going.
My warrior, wears 1.5k Glads. I usually just deny anyone the pleasure of standing near me. I never stand close to anyone in towns or outposts on any character.
My elementalist, wears, um... armor. I guess that's why they all leave her alone.
My Monk, wears Sing Jea armor. I bet most of these guys don't like the look of my monk (makes her look like she would kill you for looking at her the wrong way) and so stay away from her. I like this, because I consider my monk my most innocent character (also the shortest). Then again, she is the exact oposite of my necro (Mo/N), and I do play on getting her FoW armor, eventually.
My Ranger, wears 1.5k Canthan, for now. Not many touch her and I'm probably going to keep it like that by getting 15k Canthan (maybe).

i like armor philosophy on female charecters... like 15k glads ... best armor is when you wear less...
just look at dark elves from Lineage 2.... can't go wrong with g-strings and thongs and being half naked while u own..

Most effective response ever, and one that will get you the quickest flame response in return.
I feel sorry for the ranger females who had to have 15k Druids (though it's beautiful)

Few things. I game for alot of years. (3 Euro cup golds in UT etc).
I don't have a clue why male plays female character if not really necessery for some proffession like in D2, but ok that's ok.
But girls in disguise is bullshit. I knew so many girl gamers that didn't play as male and they were never molested in any way.
Whole life I hear by some shitheads that girls are this girls are that... and what you see? Females raising above rest and arguining over that... but what you see THEN? Girls pretending to be male, what's the point?!! -.-
Get real, 'cos I bet if I said smtn against females I'd have few on my neck right now, so don't pretend you're not the one. xD

I personally like the look of the male necro, and just can't stand the female necro hairsyles (mostly). I prefer female warrior becuase she doesn't look like a blundering buffoon like the male warriors do most of the time. Female elementalist, because males ones just look, weird, and run kinda funny. I could have gone either way with my monk, but I chose female due to there being better choices, and becuase I already had mostly female characters (also I wanted her to be the "oposite" of my necro and so gender was included in that). For my ranger, I had to split hairs, it was too hard to decide. I ended up chosing female because they have better looking options and I already had 1 male and 3 female characters at that point.
So yea, mostly gender choice is based on which the person thinks looks best. Just like armor and weapon skins, it has no effect on your character in PvE or PvP fights.

It's not as if it's reportable; I doubt ANet will ban someone for dirty dancing on my toon.
As a father of three lovely young women, I find it disturbing how many adult women I know who have been abused, molested, or even raped. And it's a nice quiet crime no one seems to talk about.
As for Crazy (I don't do "leet", or whatever his name is written in): It isn't a "wammo standing" that we're talking about. It's when I sit my character down, and some Wammo walks up, sticks his crotch in my toon's face, and starts his hip-grinding dance. And when I move away, he chases me with crude language until I'm forced to find another zone.
The problem is not isolated to my female character (I do play males, BTW). My wife and daughters have had the same things happen to their female toons. Well, except the monk; for some reason, no one sexually harasses my eldest daughter's tiny, bald, black monk. But then again, as a monk, she puts up with other rude behaviors, so I guess it all balances out.

I dont do it with a wammo, but when i had scar patterns on my necro, id run up to all my guildmates (the bastards that dont play anymore), especially my girlfreind's (shes not a bastard...) mesmer and do the necro dance. They always ran away with the sheer nakedness and breif-ness of my necro 
. It was funny.
But as for whammoing, i think its just a lot of 12-14 year olds that have seen a porn or two and cant get any. /danceing is more fun in my opinion during a dance-off on a stage in Kaineng, or LA. Not for being like that. So annoying.

I am kind of insulted. I play a Wart(W/Rt) And used to play a wammo. I never did anything like what ChaoticCoyote is talking about. Maybe that's because I was brought up right, with values, or because I am a nice person. And not every player who is 14 is a total pervert that humps pixels the first time he get's 'aroused' in game.

Before Factions came out I use to be a Desert Runner with my male Warrior.
One day I was advertising to do a full Desert run for 10k and found 2 girls in the same guild wanted the run, but they insisted that I had to do the run naked! I did it, it was a blast They complimented me on my manly thighs and butt the entire time.
Gamer girls FTW!

Wammos are the most common barbarians with raging hormones in GW
What would GW be without them?
The incident described by OP happens once in awhile. Some wammos even dance naked in front of the female characters. I find this kind of behaviour display rather funny.
Warning: Please do not copy this sort of behaviour in real life.

But of course, all this goes to show is that maturity is like anything else and cannot be judged accurately based on age. General trends there may be, but exceptions naturally abound. I blame the whole sorry state of affairs on the Lewd Monocle surplus, myself. Not that I'm expecting too many of you to have played Star Control II. But I was amused by the reference, so that justifies it.

And of course, all this is, is further incontrovertible evidence to John Gabriel's Greater Internet F*ckwad Theory.

I have 3 female and 3 male characters, and yes, I have had wammos (why is it always W/Mo, I will never know) come up and try to bone my avatar and/or send me very sexually suggestive tells. It happens, I guess as long as anet makes all female avatars look like supermodels were going to have this problem (wtf, I cant make a fat char, cheet).
The problem with the game is that most teens do not understand that most female avatars in the game are controled by male players. They havent learned to assume 'always male unless'.
This goes for about any game, especially first person shooters. The male audience is much higher than the female one.
