I practically don't play multiplayer/MMOs.
In single player games I'm 90% male, unless it's RPG or such with multiple characters.
If I'm making(/choosing) more than one character, typically one out of 2-4 is female, two out of 5-6.

^ this is me, as well.

If your role playing, typically you want your character to be a reflection of yourself (to some degree).

In actual Pen&Paper RPG groups I usually play characters that are nothing like me. That is the whole point. Why would I choose to play an overweight middle-aged man with no cardio?

It is even in the name: role playing, meaning I play a role, not myself.

In video games it is similar, I want to experience things from a different perspective.
