I like playing female characters because I'm female. I'd rather not play as a guy, but sometimes games have a main character with a specific gender, so it can't be helped.

If it's a game where characters or classes are locked to specific genders, then I'll choose a female character (so long as it's not a warrior/tank, I could care less about classes xD).

I don't know if it's normal for guys to play as girls or for girls to play as guys though.
