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.

I would join the "more pleasant to watch" gang, but I would also say that maybe getting an experience that I can't get IRL is an incentive to play as a female character for me. Also that's probably the same as with Ranma ½, and people feel differently about it.

And also maybe because exclusively male characters tend to fit in the heroic overcoming archetype that does feel a bit stale
