Reasons for me: 1. I'm male, so its always fun playing the other sex. (Although I play in first-person about 85% of the time. The 15% in 3rd person is when I'm outfitting my character or seeing an effect) 2. There are a lot more mods for females than for males 3. I am unsatisfied with Male enhancement mods, such as beards. I have trouble finding a male character I like (I use a better males mod and have the two most popular hair mods) because most of the hair looks stupid on males (compared to most looking good on females) 4. I like sneak/archery characters the most, and I can't role-play a male archer sneak type at all; just does not feel right. 5. I prefer only the human races because the 90% of the hairstyles look incredibly stupid or ugly on elves/orcs and I can't get a feel for argonian/khajit, so I feel when I play a male character, I need to be a warrior while mage/archer be female. Plus, being a female vampire is way more badass. Edit: Gnat sums my reason up nicely in his first sentence.
