Probably. Some dudes pretend to be women, so I don't see why it wouldn't happen the other way. May be for different reason, tho.

supposedly lots of girls that play MMO's pretend to be male. the few times I have made a female character I have understood why they do that. people will harass you for no reason if you are female and it gets really annoying.

I don't think it's like that as bad as it used to be. Dudes make female characters all the time cause they like to look at the character. I think people suspect that anytime you see a female character in an MMO, it's a dude behind the keyboard.

I used to for years when I first went online. My original user name on here was Vegeta1234567.

It was mostly because people used to treat girls like garbage online at the time, but now people really don't care one way or another which is nice.

Plenty, albeit the only ones I know of were playing MMOs. If they weren't doing it to gawk at the male character designs, they were doing to hide their real life gender to avoid harassment.

I know a woman who 100% acts like a guy online.

For me, I usually don't specify if I'm a guy or a girl unless it's relevant, especially on here. And if someone assumes I'm a guy, I normally don't bother correcting them.

A gay friend of mine got catfished by a girl pretending to be a guy on Grindr. She used her brothers photos. And she claimed to be in love with my friend after chatting with him. Total wacko.

Do any girls pretend to be guys online?

Yes, for multiple reasons. Many of which do not actually involve gaming...

Some women want to explore what they perceive as male communities without the awkwardness of interacting in person and media with online anonymity can grant them that. There's also the age old tactic of a woman masquerading as a persona in order for her thoughts to be treated with more respect in male dominated communities. Let's face it: a lot of guys act differently depending on the gender of whom they're talking to (this is proven fact). This means that in order for these women to interact in the way they want to with men...without the hassles...they need to adopt a cover of anonymity by posing as the opposite gender. It's not really that complicated; many hotspots of modern media easily allow this.

Some of these women also have a hard time fitting in socially/politically with other women (or "think more like a guy" than the average woman) causing them to seek out guys to chat with instead of typical girl talk. Some women think outside the generic feminine box. For example, plenty of lesbians in particular will tell you they have dealt with this very scenario.

I would not consider it as common as guys adopting online female personas as covers, but more than a few woman also do it too. And many guys are usually surprised to hear that...

I wouldn't doubt it. Not all women want that kind of attention.

Who is the second? That's a really weird thing to have in common.

Yes just as some males play as female there is no question some women play as male.

Vegy/ssj3vegeta

Not actually female, but I like to joke around that he is once in a while and he plays along.

Men. Because women pretending to be men online aren't going to get any attention.
