People are probably going to be better role-playing their own gender.  :sweatdrop:
not allways...best example I can think of is my girlfriend, who is constantly mistaken for a guy online (and quite often offline). She is pretty much always in the "one of the boys" category...though in MMOs she usually chooses what she plays based on its pervabillity factor

Ah well i always fall in love with the female characters that walk up to me ingame, ( and that falling in love is irl ) but hell i do the same with any girl irl giving me the time of day. In the end its all good for some fun. If that female responds right then i surely will get butterfly's in my stomach, but after i turn of my computer i've forgotten all about her, untill i meet her ingame the next time. And in the end its all roleplay. It's not like going to a bar and chatting up a girl. There you can always end up in bed with her, Here its just in your fantasy, and you KNOW that if you fantasise about a girl from PS there is a big chance of it actually being a guy. Does that make you gay? well it depends, if you picture yourself a nice beatifull blonde or brunette while you fantasise i'd say no. Now if you start fantasising about a big hairy fellow bending you over....
In the end you have just as much chance of getting tricked as you do in a chatbox, msn, aol, SMS-text messages, emails or letters. Some people are just sick and will go out of their way to trick you. And don't come on with that nonsense about camming to make sure. My own hair is pretty long and i have a slender built, i actually get mistaken for a girl in real life often enough. ( And i can tell you thats messed up ! ) So all i need to do is put up some mascara, have a good shave and set a soft focus on my cam, and you can bet that you will think me a very cute / beautifull girl. There are tons of ways to trick us guys into thinking that you are a girl. If you want to avoid the dissapointement don't fall in love with someone you don't know. Or have a nice relationship with someone far away that you won't ever see. If its a guy so what, just as long as you don't know you're safe enough. Simply refuse to send or recieve photographs / pictures etc. Let your imagination do all the work.
