Why so many men like to play with a female character? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. The reason why I'm asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I'm just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

When I first played an rpg with a basic character creator (the demo of bg2 I think, it's been a while), I made a character that was as close to me as possible.

When I was in a period of playing lots of rpg, I tended to make characters that were far from myself and with lots of variation. So more often than not female, but not always.

And now that I play less rpg again, in the rare case that I start a new game, I again make characters that are close to me in looks. Usually an older greyer version, but still recognizably me.
