No, but your question reminds me of how before puberty, I wanted to play video games as a male character (girls had cooties, I suppose) but after puberty I often prefer to play as a female character. I still play RPGs as a male (I suppose it helps me get in character, plus romance subplots feel weird otherwise) but otherwise I prefer female characters because they’re prettier (not necessarily in a sexual way). I liked paying Guild Wars because many of the women’s outfits were just gorgeous. One character class went into battle wearing my choice of fancy dress. That was fun.

That’s interesting, why do you think in video games you want to play a pretty character that can wear gorgeous outfits?

Sexual attraction plays a role - I’m not aroused by playing a game, but attractiveness is a type of beauty and I enjoy looking at beauty. I also think that women are just prettier than men even in an entirely non-sexual way, but I wonder how much of that is simply a reflection of being taught that women are the beautiful gender rather than an innate aesthetic preference. That segues into an interest in traditionally feminine social roles. I admit that I’m a bit envious of women, not because I consider myself a woman or want to become a woman, but because women get to be beautiful, delicate, desirable, etc. and men don’t.
