I think I may have asked this once in a thread a long time ago, haha, but my answer depends. I'll go either one depending on the game. Pokemon games I tend to like the girl designs, so I pick that one EXCEPT for Silver/Gold. I love the design of the male in that one, so male always for S/G.
Character creation games I go either way. It depends on which side I am able to make a more interesting character. Saints Row 2 I went with an evil looking Luigi with a big nose, but in Saints Row 3, I went with a girl robin-esque looking character. However, if I can set up a girl with twin tails and glasses, I go with that option. ALWAYS.
I guess for me, it really comes down to design, or I play the game twice for both genders.
Dance my pretties!
