    I've found over nearly 3 years of playing, that every female toon played by a female I've met almost always project todays societies standard in beauty...they're all rail thin with nearly zero body definition.

    agreed with that..tho not really with the game expirience since you cant really make a thin character on pwi without curves..unless you edit the ini file.

    But yes-....most people consider nowadays curves as fat.

    I'm skinny as a twig irl, so maybe I'm genetically predisposed to prefer curvy women. Hip bone smashing into pelvic bone does. not. feel. good. <.<

    I play this game for the social aspect and the ample fashion choices. o.o
    I do enjoy doing the instances and stuff. I love helping people and stuff. :P
    So usually if i'm not offline I'm at the AH or in an instance.
    I do really like to keep up with nice gear though, lol. I just blew 50mil+ on regearing my archer.
    Also, I never have more than 1 outfit on my character at any given time. (I don't have a wardrobe stone or anything.) If I find a new fashion set, i sell the old one and wear the new one until I get a new one.

    Also, I am a skinny female with a skinny character. Problem, PWi forum community? 8D

    lol that was my first character i created and she was on Sanctuary. as you can see she isnt ugly nor is she gigantic boobed. b:chuckle

    She's better than average but her eyes a little off on the rotation/far apart, and her nose is a little long. Also, the wedges shoes really don't go with a ballroom dress. She's cute though, definitely knocks the whole "guys can't make a cute character and just maxes out the chest look the stupid stereotype it is." Your psychic is also cute. You should post em in the rate a character hot or not thread in the screenies section if you really want a full rating on em. XD Some of the peeps in their are way better at customization than me.

    I fell off my bed laughing at this. b:laugh

    All of my chars are designed with a bit of meat. My wizzie was meant to have the pin-up girl look to her. Don't think I quite pulled it off, but close enough.

    I'm a girl, on a female toon >.> b:heart my veno

    1. They work(play) at a comfortable pace.
    True to a certain degree, I play according to my rl time. I didn't bother equipping the TT90 set because I'm upgrading it directly to 99...so yeah...still running around in TT80 gold ...b:surrender


    2. They're not as picky with squads. After I get a barb and a cleric for bh or ff, everything else is fair game, first come, first served XD

    3. Always look good in fashion. <----totallyb:surrender just now I actually went and used a makeover scroll to change the eye color (to match the dress I'm wearing right now) and the hair color to balance out the extreeme light blue color of the eyes, lol b:cute I just can't resist all the versatility in here, can go wild and change the colors as much as I want :)

    4. They'll turn down your offer without an "lol" or a sarcastic comment. It depends...sometime I really feel like crushing somebody's ego b:chuckle

    5. Seem to overall play for fun instead of making it a race to 100. absolutely...I wanna have fun!

    What you described is a casual gamer not a female gamer.

    Both male and female behave like that.

    No lol. It was just an observation.

    I guess I can conclude that I observed that more females are casual gamers.

    Over the years in pwi, there are a few things about female players I've grown to admire/find amusing to me. Is like to know If anyone else agrees or noticed.Please note that these are just MY observations on dw server ands Its a generalization, not all apply.

    1. They work(play) at a comfortable pace. Most females I see have armor 10 levels below theirs, or have npc drops. This shows me they aren't caught up in this ridiculous arms race that many male players obsess over (keeping up with the most up to date armor).

    2. They're not as picky with squads. Most males are particular about what they want (most notably aps/ class specific squads).

    3. Always look good in fashion.

    4. They'll turn down your offer without an "lol" or a sarcastic comment.

    5. Seem to overall play for fun instead of making it a race to 100.

    Of course its female avatar, I can't prove they're actually female.

    Any thoughts?

    I heard female players don't have penors. Is it true?

    Hmm... now I'm curious.

    Let's compare Me vs. My (evil) Girlfriend vs. My Sister, and see how the gender-based generalizations stack up to reality.

    Least true for: My (evil) Girlfriend

    My sister consistently wears junk armour, while my girlfriend consistently shops around for the best. I'm somewhere in the middle. I used to wear cheapo gear until I hit level 85.

    Also, my sister is the slowest leveler, while my girlfriend is the fastest.

    Conclusion: not much truth to this gender stereotype for us.

    My sister doesn't care who she squads with, and enjoys the lulz of being part of an incompetent party-wipe.

    My girlfriend, "****ing hates ****ing random ****ing squads" (her words), and then rants for about 5 minutes giving several examples.

    I'm closer to my sister on this one. I'll squad with whoever, then watch them wipe in front of me. I've gotten used to being the only survivor on countless occasions.

    Conclusion: not much truth to this gender stereotype for us.

    3. Always look good in fashion.
    Most true for: My girlfriend + My sister
    Least true for: Me

    What little fashion I do have is mostly a gift from my girlfriend. Both my sister and girlfriend have extensive fashion collections.

    Conclusion: this gender stereotype rings true for us.

    4. They'll turn down your offer without an "lol" or a sarcastic comment.
    Most true for: Me
    Least true for: My girlfriend

    I'm almost always polite, even when I really shouldn't be. My girlfriend will quite happily tell people off. My sister will often come up with some sort of obscure anime reference that is actually thinly veiled sarcasm.

    Conclusion: no truth at all to this gender stereotype for us.
    Starflair - Dreamweaver wrote: »
    5. Seem to overall play for fun instead of making it a race to 100.
    Most true for: All of us
    Least true for: None of us

    We all prefer to waste time amusingly, and couldn't care less about rushing to level.

    Conclusion: no truth at all to this gender stereotype for us.

    Ok, female player on male toon.. again.
    1. They work(play) at a comfortable pace. Most females I see have armor 10 levels below theirs, or have npc drops. This shows me they aren't caught up in this ridiculous arms race that many male players obsess over (keeping up with the most up to date armor).

    Actually, I use npc gear only on low lvl alts which i play when i'm bored with my mains or when they are below 30 lvl. Except when i was learning game and I didn't know about 1, 2 and 3 star gear and TT/mold too etc like 3 years ago.. then i use drop/npc gear to like50 lvl.

    2. They're not as picky with squads. Most males are particular about what they want (most notably aps/ class specific squads).

    I know what I want. I need just tank and I'm happy, except when i got noobs in squad... if I die and see this squad gonna make me die more(on bh 89 brimm with aoe mobs no hard to die when no charm) I leave why I should risk my exp, time and nerves when it's not worth it?

    3. Always look good in fashion.

    This can be but not only female chars, all my chars have oryginal names and looks I can spent to 1 hour making char xD and with fashion is same. I have to admit I like white/black colour or 1 colour set but being all grey/black it's boring I like to change clothes a lot but have just 1 set at time.

    4. They'll turn down your offer without an "lol" or a sarcastic comment.

    When I start playing a world 'lol" was pissing me off cos everybody uses it too much(besides on start I didn't know exatly what this means >.> now my english gots better) but in time I start to tolerating it and yes, using too. I use "lol" when I saw something funny and even"xD" I use a lot more than it. Hmm what I was trying to say? xD hmm... ah yes I can be sarkastic when I see someone with "less than falf brain". but normally pffer which is not welcoem by me it's just ignored, because i don't like stupid discussion with idiots. ^^

    5. Seem to overall play for fun instead of making it a race to 100.

    Ah, yes it's all me. :3 I played almost all classes, except psychi/sin/seeker (ok I did play to lvl 34 and 50 but it's not enought to truly learn all aspects of class) . My lovely are veno, cleric, barbarian(retired and no cash to buy cool gear) and now mistyk(except she suck a lot of mana). Only on my barb I went to 97 which is closest lvl to 100 on all my chars. Now don't lvl my veno(lvl 92) but slowly lvl with bhs this cler and mistyk(gonna give up when mp charm will disapear). Got also alts: bm 74, archer 80 from highers lvls. Only my barb and this cleric are male, rest chars it's my gender.

    Sorry, for mistakes, fast writning makes some and edit button not lways want to work properly(errors)
    *^ My alt ^w^

    **^ Horny woman in real playing MALE sexy cleric. <3

    On a side note, there's males that play female chars mainly because they want to avoid the *** look on their chars (I experienced that on my archer). I play a female char cause I like something hot to look at, plus, it resembles my wife :D hehehe.

    Funny how some people think male on female char is ***, when actually, somehow is an expression of their gender/sexuality in game, choosing to have something female to actually look at, without looking *** (like with a male archer or a male mystic).

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    That is actually one of the reasons I chose the veno. I would rather have gameplay staring at my veno rather than a male character. It is easier on the eyes. I remember my male wiz, got bored of it too easily...
