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.

2077 is a first person game, so seeing the character really only happens in the menu. In third person games where I can see my character, I... just prefer seeing women. Don't get me wrong, it's not like a game is worse if I can't look at a female character, but if I have a choice, why not?

For 2077 I'm not exactly sure why I chose it the first time. It may have had something to do with not being able to make a male character that looked like some version of me. I probably didn't like the long hair options. I don't regret it though, I really like Judy.
