Does anyone have similar experience?

[J-Shadow]

I use a HUnewearl and I met a guy a while back online, we played together many times and we always have lots of fun fighting through the forest and areas together.
He has always been very friendly and stuff. However, when he learned that i'm a guy in real life, BOOM all of a sudden he gets all quiet and distant.
What's up with that? I guess he assumed I'm a girl because of my HUnewearl. But hasn't anyone learn not to assume anything just from the character? Sigh I guess I lost an online buddie.
I'd like to know what everyone think of this and if you had similar experience b4. (Or if you actually did what this friend of mine did. How do you feel about it? ^_^)

Next time don't make friends with guys who just want a piece of your virtual ass!

That's why it's safer and pratical to say it out in front, and you can even just drop hints. Like, "Hey I think that chick Denise Richards is hot!!" and "Man, I tell ya...this game is sweet but my girlfriend hates it"...things like this if you want to be subtle and still play your character. That way the guy knows from the start that you're another guy and that it's still cool to play as buds.

My PSO character was a female character, and people assumed i was a male just playin a female character. But i am a female and some guys i have met have given me shit about being a female that plays video games. I think u should play with who ever u have fun with regardless of sex or age.

I don't know. I played PSO and had some female characters. Some guys would hit on them and even when they found out I was a guy, uh, they still hit on them. >.>

QueenBee raises an interesting point:

Why is it when women really DO play, we get accused of being a man, or even called liars? I've had it happen several times now.

And yet, when men play as women, it's always believed. wtf? In the world of PSO, when women act like women, we get thought of as men, but when men act like women, apparently that's more acceptable? Or are lots of people just complete fucking retards? Oy.
