22 I've had an easier time in mainly female RPs than mainly male ones. For years, I played only in mainly male ones... and I won't go back, to be honest. I thought I didn't mind the emphasis on fighting, but I realized that in mainly female games, people are less concerned about their characters winning the fights, and more concerned about what the fights do for the plot. In female games, I'm allowed to play male characters without constantly being expected to play female characters, as the token female player in the game.

I do miss the easy comeraderie that the all-male games had, and I miss the lack of sniping and backbiting that eventually whittle away players. But I don't miss the spectacular blow-ups that the male games had, where the entire group would split in two and sink.

It's a stereotype on both sides, and both types of games have their good and bad points, but they do have a very different atmosphere when they're wildly swinging to one gender or the other in terms of players.
