Speaking personally, I play a female character because I enjoy writing fiction and it's always been easier for me to write and Rp as a female than a male, despite being male. The fact that the female main characters in my stories tend to have had rough backstories (the one I'm writing for publication was a slave for the first 15 years of her life) and tend to enter into long-term romantic (but not sexual by the time the story ends) relationships, though, that's all personal taste and ease of writing.
What's with all the guys using female avatars?

Hope this is self explanatory:
I tend to mostly play female characters, but this does depend on the setting, currently my character reflects me, male, old, scruffy hair and beard, now I get to fantasize about something that will never happen in reality, me among the stars, in Mass Effect I'd play as a female mainly because I preferred the voice acting compared to the male Shepard, I have no deep reasons for playing female characters, but if the choice is available, that's good enough for me.
So the argument is false because of something you just made up ? That's some crazy logic right there.
It's called 'Role play' - look it up.
Get off your high horse, it's the way human males are wired. But yes it is admirable to not throw it in women's faces in real life.
You've just contradicted yourself there. You do see your avatar in-game so it does apply.
Sounds like you're saying all men who play a female in a game are either homosexual or latent homosexuals, and if so you'd be dead wrong.
I play a female in many games, including this one. I've already given my reasons here.
I once heard it put like this: If I am going to look at a character for hours, it might as well be good looking.
I for the life of me cannot make a male character that doesn't look like a mutated caveman. Because of that, I cannot make a male character that somewhat resembles me, so that leaves me two options: with relatively little effort, make a random, decent-looking female character that doesn't represent me, or spend a greater amount of effort making a horribly disfigured random guy that doesn't represent me. That choice should be relatively clear. Maybe through enough trial and error I'll eventually get a holo-me that is an approximation of me, but that is low on my priority list.
Also, I tend to prefer the voice acting and armor/apparel aesthetics for females over that of males in most games. Male apparel tends to be bulky, and I hate bulky clothing, even in real life.
Third-person view doesn't hurt either, though I tend to stay in first-person given the option.

There is a game available wherein you are portraying a piece of bread. Also one from a long while ago where you could be a cockroach. Millions of animals have been murdered by people acting as midget plumbers. Pretty sure I've been at least two dinosaurs, and lots of robots, but no robot dinosaurs that I recall. I'm not sure what that's supposed to say about me beyond that I have too much expendable income for video games.
The closest they prolly ever been to a real girl.

Does it look like your avatar?
Maybe they ought to combine or encapsulate Planet Coaster into ED. Make the planet coaster instances theme parks visit-able on worlds. Have a big parking lot for all the ED ships next to the parks. Then there could be more real women players in the combined game with all the strutting ED pilots and the PC tourists milling about the parks.

replace the blood around his mouth with coffee and it would be a close approximation
