I've also always played female characters simply because it's more aesthetically pleasing. If I'm going to be watching the rear end of that character for hours after hours, rather have something nice.

I do get why people thought it weird though, if you think about the character as your avatar.

I enjoy roleplaying as a woman, it's not only that my character is hot AF. Especially if there's different dialogue options available for female characters, I get a kick out of it. I've always been really in touch with my feminine side, but totally comfortable in my sex/gender. But I've never been very comfortable with the expectations and assumptions about men, thus I role-play! So in a way they are my avatars, but not in a egg way. I guess I can see why people might think that's weird, but they didn't know about that part.
