Male Character vs Female Character
ElinoraNeSangre
Female, play both genders. I just make the char that I think looks best to me, regardless of gender. :: shrug ::

Male with all female characters. Female models and armors are more aesthetically pleasing than the male counterparts.
elektra_lucia
Same as above.
Hengis
Male with 9 male characters and one female mule.
On this subject, I read a strange article a month or so back where it was reported that one Chinese MMO was going to force people registering female characters to prove via webcam that they were in fact female in real life!
I can't find the original article I read, but this one from The Guardian online reports the same event:

Also, does anyone else remember the April fools trick this year when ANet made every male char female and every female char male? That was rather funny :-)

Captain Arne Is PRO
I'm male.
Warrior - male, made it while I was still addicted to Diablo II and decided to try and replicate a Barbarian.
Warrior 2 - female, made it after my ex-girlfriend, and now I totally regret personalizing that character's set of r7s.
Monk - Named it Captain Arne (see: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Captain_Arne), female wouldn't fit the role.
Elementalist - Named it using my name written in Chinese, First word is Mai, female name, suits the role.
Ranger - Female, character name is Miniature and I have the idea that males are generally larger than females.
Assassin - Female, also named after an ex-girlfriend, going to delete it very soon.
Mesmer - Named "L Y S S A," and I've always perceived Lyssa as a Goddess, so it fits the role.
PvP slot - Always male, my PvP name is Jerry Stiller (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Stiller). Jerry is the male spelling of the name, so it fits the role.

It was rather amusing and put to rest the age on question of what your characters would look like if they got a sex change.
... Everyone wanted to know that, right?

Lafayette
I'm a guy.
My PvE characters were always a mix of males and females, though I recreated them so often I shouldn't really give a definitive list as it's bound to be partially inaccurate.
Monk: one female
Necro: one male, one female
Warrior: four male, three female
Mesmer: three female
Ele: one male, three female
Ranger: one male, about nine female
Assassin: two female
Ritualist: one male
Dervish: one female
Paragon: one male, one female

44yr old male with 20+ female kick ass fighting angels. Think whatever you want!
And next thing I would love to do is get rid of all the male heros and only use females. FTW.

I'm a robot and often have no choice but to play stupid human characters.
I'm not sure what gender my characters are. You humans all look so damn alike.

Mammoth
male with 17 of 20 characters being female
(sadly two male characters of mine are male purely because their names are references and would be silly if they were female!)
while it's just a game I still like to enjoy what I'm looking at on screen, also a personal opinion that many male character faces look too dopey or just messed up compared to the females. But I'll admit that male characters have some better combat animations, with bows in particular (my male monk using a bow is far more impressive looking than either of my females :P)
And in response to the OP, because females are much nicer to show off than male characters I think, they're also a lot more photogenic I guess.
Anyways, while I do almost exclusively play female characters, I at least don't pretend or try to act like one in game. :P

gremlin
Male player with characters of both sexes.
Sex was determined mainly by look, I happen to think the male necro looks bad so went with female.
Some characters have been started as one sex then when I saw the dance emote I deleted character and altered the sex.
Sadly its the main reason my male Mesmer never Dances "I didnt check dance till Mesmer was well into the game"
Stats
At the moment the balance is 6 Male and 8 Female.
Male characters Mesmer, Ele, Dervish, Ritualist
Female Characters Warrior, Necro, Ranger, Paragon, Assassin, Monk
Mules/Trading Female Mesmer, Ele, Male Paragon, Ranger

I'm sure there was a similar thread to this some time ago. But nevertheless, I love polls 
I'm male, and all of my characters are male. Firstly, because I'm gay and I enjoy the eye candy and secondly, I enjoy RPing with my characters and I wouldn't know where to start with a female character in terms of personality or feminine character traits.

free_fall
Male with 24 char slots, 21 male 3 female.
10 chars have completed campaigns (2 - 1 campaign; 4 - 2; 4 - 3); of those 10, 9 are male, 1 female (she's 1 of the 4 to have completed all 3 campaigns).
7 chars that are at various stages in campaigns; 6 male, 1 female.
7 mules; again, 6 and 1.
Being male, I feel more comfortable playing males and, except for the warriors, they all look vaguely like me (or idealized versions of me maybe 25 years ago lol).
I thought, though, that I'd try some female toons for a change of pace. It's been interesting seeing what kind of boorish male behavior women must have to put up with in real life, judging from in-game behavior.

Bride of the Atom
I'm female, and out of my three primary characters I have two guys and one girl. The one I play most out of the three (my ele) is male. However, he looks to be more effeminate than I am, so it might not count. 
I always thought it was weird that I've had a tendency to make more male than female characters, since female characters that are actually played by females always seemed to be the minority. Heh! 
This is changing, though. The 55 monk I started is female, and the warrior I've been playing recently is, too-- because all of the male warriors look like huge meatheads. My boyfriend's characters are about 50/50. Gender; meh.

I'm a male and I seem to fit in the majority here. I have both male and female characters.
Unlucky
I'm Male
I've got 5 PvE and 3 PvP characters so far, of the PvE I've got 4 males and one female.
Ele - Male
Derv - Male
Rit - Male
Warrior - Male
Ranger - Female
When it comes to PvP, I've got a male Monk (gasp. :P), a female Necro, an a slot that varies from a Male Dervish to a Male Paragon. (I don't use my PvE Derv enough to warrant him to PvP standards.)
So in all, 6 male and 2 female. If I make another female character, it'd simply because I like the look of their armour more than the male counterpart. (Was thinking of making a PvE female Necro)

Male, First char ever E/N Male.
Then W, Mo, R, E, Ne, Rt, P, D all Female. I just like to play with females what can I say. Also I'd rather stare to a female char for the whole day, then a bulky, dorky Guy. That's just me imo.

I too tend to play by watching the condition / enchantment icons and the radar, and holding down cntrl a lot to locate targets. so I aint got time to sit there staring at my character. I also don't think guys playing as girls makes them perverted, whoever implied that.
