Why so many men like to play with a female character? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. The reason why I'm asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I'm just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

Well, don't want to play myself. So I made "random" good looking characters. Which I realized years down the line, that I'm subconciously creating my current girlfriend, ex, crush, etc. It's funny now going back into old games and seeing a totally different, "random" character from those times

Many years ago a friend said to me, while I was making my first WoW character for Burning Crusade, why would I want to watch a male character run around everywhere? I considered and agreed with that, and made a female character. Since then I've consistently made female characters.

They are always based on what I would consider attractive at the time. Which hasn't changed much all things considered, but there are some variations.

Literally what happened when I showed my girlfriend VR: your avatar is me???
