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.

Ah. Well, at least you aren't a hypocrit? I've seen people get pissed that a mod on nexus made judy romanceable for male v, which nexus removed, but then were totally cool with the mod that lets female v romance panam (which, last I checked, was still up a while back). I don't really think it's a bad thing at all, you can't rob pixels of their agency, because they are not people, and the folks who judge those of us who romance judy as males sound just plain silly to me about how bad it is. I don't see this "she just needs the right man" thinking you mention. I separate that stuff from my videogames, and I simply play how I want.

That's fine. My brain just isn't built that way. I have succeeded ONCE in playing an evil playthrough in an RPG because I just feel too bad. I don't typically play games to feel bad so, I haven't done so since.
