Fair enough. I know your explanation doesn't speak for everyone but I like it none the less. That's a pretty cool hobby by the way. I'm just playing around with creating a short story about my character. It's been such a blast and I love the additional feel it will add to my main character while playing destiny.

That's how I originally got so much into writing. Try adding in a side character that's female, maybe a love interest or some other sort of companion. If you add enough depth to her I can guarantee that you'll feel connected and like her enough that you would probably feel you could play as her. I say that because, in reality, the only person one can ever truly understand is yourself. You literally have no other option than to put some part of yourself into her character. Physical characteristics have literally no impact upon the characters personality but you and your own views, beliefs and thought processes do. It's still not for everyone but I think more people are capable of enjoying playing as different characters than they think.

That's some good advice. To be completely honest i haven't had a girl friend before ( I'm making myself a target right now) and I tend to imagine my characters without love interests. They always have that lone disconnected feel with the rest of the characters which defines them and me. I guess you can see where I subconsciously put a bit of myself into them. However it helps me stay focused on other things which I have seen reflected in my characters. Lol I'm just starting to realize all this. Ill try and get my short story up soon. I just need two more chapters and to edit the whole piece.
