Male players: Why do you play female characters? (kbin.social)

Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

I choose female characters because their hitboxes are smaller, or if the hitboxes are not smaller they will not match the hitbox and throw off any tracking. Smaller models means they might not be seen around corners by having part of the model sticking out.

Try Overwatch's Torb: small hitbox, "the floor is lava" ult, and a rivet gun with both a ballistic trajectory mode that can go from side to side of the map (hard to master, but extremely gratifying when you headshot an enemy at their spawn from your own spawn), and a mele mode that can take down the strongest tanks.

I don't play overwatch though, not my cup of tea.
