I'd like to make this a poll, but I'm not seeing an option to do so.
Anyway, What is your gender, in relation to the gender you make your characters?
1) I'm Male, with Male characters
2) I'm Male, with Female Characters
3) I'm Female, with Male characters
4) I'm Female, with Female characters
I was just thinking about this because I noticed when I was looking through a thread of monk armor, 95% of all the characters were female. I am positive that 95% of the people playing GW aren't female.
Just a question out of curiosity.
Male Character vs Female Character

I'm male with both male and female characters. An option like that would've been nice.
And I think polls are only able to be made by mods, Gaile and Elite Gurus.

I check out what armor I'd like as my final one and choose that way. Most of the male armors suck...

I'm a guy
The majority of my characters are female because I dont want to stare at a male character's ass the whole time im playing the game...
Edit @ Zahr below me: I'm not a fan of capes, so I never display them, hehe.

Male. I ordinarily create female characters in RPGs, not sure why but I always like playing as one. Maybe for the same reason I don't usually play as a human, I always design a character who is not like me in appearance in a singleplayer game. But in an MMO, where it's all online, I want to make sure people know what gender I am in life.
Toggle the guild cape on :P

I'm a guy and I make all my characters male, even though armour is crap for males.

Inserting my own option.
-Male with both male and female characters.
1) Male Derv/ which is my main.
2) Male Ranger/E.
3) Male N/Me
4) Male A/W
5) Female Mo/Me
6) Female Me/
7) Female Rt/Me
8) Female D/W
I play them as characters, hence the RPG aspect of the MMO. Each with it's own personality traits. I decided early on, when I started making multiple characters, I'd split the gender line 50/50 to provide more personality complexes and character traits.

Me = Male
Chars across 3 accounts = 20 Female, 3 Male
Bluntly put, I'm an adult male, and the vast majority of male characters in this game are either ugly in the extreme, or fabulously effeminate. I'd rather look at a girl than either of those.

Me male and 9 out of 10 of my characters are female.
I started out trying to play male characters, as I always do in RPGs, but the problem is that I just don't identify with the assortment of wrestler types or Brad Pitt wannabes that are on offer, so I re-roll with female toons. I may not identify with those exactly, but at least I want to spend time with them.

I'm male and have a mix of both. For some professions the models for one gender or another just look awful to me, so that largely determines things. I usually try to make a male character and if I can't make one I think looks cool I'll switch to female. I've got a male monk, paragon (yes, I managed to make a male paragon that doesn't suck, I'm amazed too), and elementalist and a female necro, warrior, and mesmer.
scraggles
See, I'm amazed. I make the character the way I like it, only males though. Then, I play the game for months on end without every really looking at my character again. I'm watching whats going on everywhere else on the screen. I focus more on the game around me than my character. For example, with my 55 monk, I'm NEVER watching him. I'm always watching my enchantments. Then, when I'm running around, I'm watching the radar too see whats coming up.
I wish people would play the gender they really are. Otherwise it makes me feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of 13 year old perverts. No offense.
God I'm about to get flamed.

I usually choose male chars unless there is something i dont like, for instance male elementalist is a bit ...strange and i dont like it, so i go female ele. Male monks are chubby and have strange thick necks, so female there too. Chose a female assasin because i somehow think the silent but deadly role suits females better, etc...

Kusandaa
Male, with 14/15 male chars. I feel more at ease with male characters since I'm a male, and looking at a man's butt whenever I play doesn't bother me since I'm gay x]. Plus I like the armors more on males, with a few exceptions.
The only char that's female on my main account's roster is a warrior - I didn't like the war armors until recently (NF made me regret not having a male one, and EotN even more...) at the point I made another war, male this time. But I use my female one more.

I make a character whatever gender the particular class has better face / hair / armor combinations. And for some classes, I have a both female and a male character.
bhavv
Im male and my PVE characters are male as they use my name. However, I made a few female chracters for PVP, obviously with female names.
While playing RA and stuff I never once mention my RL sex at all and type as I normally do. People keep on posting the 'OMG your a guy playing a girl how gay OMG' kind of shit that put me off playing female characters anymore.
Ok, so I loved having my build test character as a Chinese looking canthan female named 'Tes Tinn', pun intending for 'testing'. But I outgrew it with the idiots picking up that I was a male with a female character that liked to poke fun and abuse at me.

cosyfiep
are we counting mules???
FEmale with mostly female characters, however; I do have a tyrian male monk (one of my first 4 toons who is over 2 now), and a male rit. I have also been toying with a male dervish, but he is still a mule for now.
so:
female eles 3 (one is pre-sear)
female monks 2 (finally found a hair style and face I liked in cantha)
male monk 1 (created cause the 'bun' hairstyle didnt do it for me)
female mesmers 3 (one from each chapter)
female necro 1
female paragon 1
female rit 1
male rit 1
female ranger 1
female warrior 1
(mules 2 necro ladies, 1 female ele, 1 female monk, 1 female paragon, one female sin, 1 male dervish-tbd)

I'm male with 5 female and 5 male characters.
There's nothing sexually, ethically or otherwise 'wrong' about creating a female character.
Part of the reason for making females is that I don't like the appearance of some males [i.e. the male warrior /puke]. It's also much more pleasing to look at the back-end of a female, is it not?

Kahlindra
Female with a female primary with over half my time dedicated to her.
Out of 11 other characters, I have 7 females and 4 males. Mainly for the armour choices, for example I recently levelled up a male warrior and a female ranger because those were opposite to what I had, and the only two classes where I wanted the other gender's armour too.
Also I will unashamedly admit that my male ranger and mesmer were made that way because they are HAWT.
Like guys don't do that......

Racthoh
Male with all male.
Bankai
Both.
Monks are always female. Warriors are always male. Elementalists are about 50/50, so are rangers and mesmers. Paragons are male because you can make them so extremely gay. Dervishes are also male. Necros are always female, just like my sins and rits.
Talking about pvp chars here. I only PvE on one character, my female monk.

I'm a Female and all my characters are female too.
Smile Like Umean It
I select my genders based on armors, casting/attack animations and sometimes looks. Also, sometimes they're based on people or their predetermined name and then well, the gender is kinda cemented without me having to choose. You don't really name a chick 'The Animal Bautista' or a dude 'Ice Queen Chase'.
I do tend to go with male characters though. Oh, and I'm female.
Nope. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Male. 10 characters, all female.
vergerefosh
Male, 15 Characters, 3 male, 12 female. Partially for armour, partially as can think of more interesting names (that are actual names and not The ......... or X ...... X etc etc). Also looks good

That said, Male with all Female. They are far prettier than the Males.
Onarik Amrak
All my physical characters are male and all my casters are female.
Works out nicely to 5 male and 5 female.

TheRaven
I'm female and most of my characters are also female. I tried making a few males, but I thought they looked ugly and soon deleted them, except for 1 male Warrior that's still hanging around. I never play him. He's over a year old now and still Level 18. He carries all the luggage for the ladies. (mule char)
I've never made a Paragon however, and I'm thinking of doing so soon. When I do I want to make my Paragon a tall Black Male similiar to the one shown in the promo art pictures. I guess it's just how I picture the perfect Paragon. I just need to come up with a good name for him first.

Chicken of the Seas
I'm a female with female characters. I think the only reason that I would make male chars is to keep the pervs away, but other then that I prefer the look of female characters. (Although I do love the look of male necros, mesmers and rits)
Sekkira
What's sad is that I've given up on correcting people on my actual gender. Particularly this name which often gets mistaken for female. I just nod and smile, letting people live in their fantasy world.

~nymph~
Female with all female characters.
DFrost
I have both for variety's sake. We actually discussed this with some friends a while ago, one of them strongly felt that the character is his alter ego so it should represent him as precisely as possible and thus obviously be male. I have never been able to identify like that with any characters in any game. To me it's a chunk of pixels and nothing more, nothing less. Therefore I don't really see an issue with guys playing gal characters and vice versa.

Female with all male toons......even my mules are male.
