Me: male
Characters: 50/50
It comes down to how you view your characters. If you see them as an extension of you, then a reverse gender char my seem icky. If you see them as someone/something to guide and take care of (or boss around! ) then the gender may not matter.
I tend to follow both views at various times. The "me" chars are all male and the rest are ones I'm helping. Being the Charlie to a bunch of angels is not a bad way to pass the time.
Male Character vs Female Character
King's Spectre
Shadowspawn X
I'm male with all male characters. I guess I do project myself onto them because I wouldn't dream of pushing a female toon though pve. However, in pvp I have rolled a female from time to time.

Though in my case, ever since Nightfall introduced the per-character title-grind the "me" has stepped off screen (deleted) and only the "angels" have all the actions now.
I Can Cure Cancer
All males, I just don't particularly like the female models or armors. I'm male btw.

I typically use male characters, possibly because I can feel like that character is actually me, like King's Spectre said earlier. I just don't connect that way with female characters, though I do have some.

me= female
characters = all female.
It would feel weird to play a dude.

I'm male and have mostly male chars but also 2 female chars, both modelled on my gorgeous girlfriend 
Alvarez
I'm a male with all male characters (4). I like being male what can I say?
In my opinion it would be a little odd playing as a female.

male.
mesmer x2, monk, elementalist = females
ritualist, paragon, warrior, necromancer, ranger, assassin = males
so 6 males, 4 females.
i'm not patriarchal, but i tend to think that melee/physical damage classes fit male characters better in appearance, and spellcasting classes look better female.
only exceptions are ritualist and necromancer, both of which i think of as sadistic/self-harming spellcasters which are better suited for males.
as a note: i don't connect to any of my characters, i typically don't put myself in the shoes of whoever i'm playing in RPG type games...moreso in FPS and other shooters.

I'm female, and I have female characters, purely because females have prettier armor. I don't associate myself with my characters, so it wouldn't really bother me playing a male or female. It's all aesthetics baby!
Narcissia
im female and i have 15 female characters and 1 male.
however, the male character i have is only a mule, and was only made because elonian male ele hair green looks like a chia pet and i found it rather funny.
i would feel kind of strange playing a male character, and i only like a few of their armor sets. being an armor addict, the armor sets r very important. hehe

And while I have both male and female characters, I have more females than males because they often have better armor and appearances than the male models.
Off topic, but related due to looks: the Rit Ancient armor set should be for Necs, don't you think?

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. |
Anyways, i'm starting to get back into my ranger and he's a guy and so am I, he used to be a girl, for a week, then changed him to male. I'm glad I did Male FoW> female FoW imho.

I am male with almost all female character (accept for a rit who I rerolled for the gender(yeah I did that), and a pre sear mesmer who was male to contrast my real mesmer). I'm a guy who associate with his female characters, am I the only one?

I have no idea why some people are so insecure about their sexuality when it comes to playing games. Especially when they try to justify it. Why bother caring about what people who play their opposite gender? Or even yourself? People who judge others on what gender they play are to me, very closed-minded people.
Male, plays both males and females characters.

I agree with scraggles' post, 1rst page. I'm not quoting it in case someone gets seriously offended.
I'm female and I play only female characters.
I used to play male as well, but they end up looking so feminine in the end I thought I might as well play the gender I feel most comfortable with. :3
It's funny how male players argue that it's better to have to stare at the bum of a female toon. I for one usually stare at my skills or my/allies'/foes' health bars when playing. When exploring I much rather look at the gorgeous enviroment design than my toon...
Anyway, tis the way it'll always be.

I like the part where all 3 female areas add up to the amount of the least amount guy one (ironically guys playing guys).
I'm chick with both (10 toons 2 dudes - sin and ranger), bf has both, split 4-4, took all the sexually ambiguous looking toons (eles, mesmers, and then factions on) and made them chicks. I did it for lols.

I too have a gender, and I enjoy playing with characters of the same gender, and also with characters of the opposite gender to the one that I am.

1 up and 2 down
I might have posted in this thread already, I can't remember. But anyways, I play mostly all males, my only female character is my ele. I only play her because I don't like any of the male armors and I like how some of the female ones look.

Its you that makes it creepy with your dirty mind m8, i never even though of it in this way, before this poll. Sry to be so defensive, but i dont like being called creepy. Male wammo hummping anybody??
mzzls
cataphract
Oh yeah, I just *hated* all the male wamo humpers who wouldnt leave my female ele alone. It escalated so much that I had to place her with her back to the fire or hide among the barrels near it. Post-searing Ascalon 3 years ago... Time smegging flies.

I'm male and I'd like to play male classes but who would actually want to have a male monk? They're just look stupid no matter which campaing.
HatteryBasket
Female with all female characters. I love my girls <3
I keep trying to make a male character, but I'm not too fond of how alot of them look and stuff D:
I wouldn't mind playing a guy though, if I could make one that I like.
Maybe then I'd get less random whispers asking for money and stuff because I'm 'cute'.
._.;;;

Male Warrior, females arent supposed to "fight"
Male Necro, its a dirty job to be a necro, you have to be somewhat evil, so no women there also
Female Ele, male eles just dont "feel" right, if you know what I mean...
Female Ranger, love for nature etc
Monk, actually I got 2 of these as I really like to play them a lot.
My male monk was my main char, but in my opinion Female armors look better on monks, so I created a female monk ~2 weeks ago, she is rank 2 survivor atm
I really dont care what sex a persons character is, although the overall tendency is that Female players roll female toons, and male players mostly roll both.

I'm female, and so are all my characters.
Started a few male ones, but deleted them and made them female. The males just generally don't look as good.
