I usually pick male. One reason is to avoid confusion in online games. Generally though I'm just more comfortable being a dude, I think I'd be a bit distracted if I was a chick.

There are exceptions. One of my playthroughs of Fire Emblem Awakening was with female Robin, mainly so I could see some of the other supports.

I like pretending I am a woman and getting men to do stuff for me in games :)

I always choose a guy, but I don't really care if other people choose the opposite gender or not.

Online games I would stick to male characters. I think this one time when I was playing online, I had people give stuff to me when I was using a girl skin on my character. I`d prefer to avoid weird moments like that.
