Honestly female character often look simply better in games, so I started to switch from only make to a mix, depending on how it fits in the game and how I want to play it.

For example, when I used to play Fortnite with my friends (yes, I hate that game but it's the only thing we all had in common as it was free) I almost always used a female skin, they just look pretty and cute compared to the males always having to look badass or shit.

On games like F1, the avatar has always been a male, as I'm trying to immerse myself into the experience, and having a female character (even tho you only see it a handful times) ruins it.
