no no, you have it all wrong

the over-sexualized female characters go in all the supporting roles, the main character needs to either be a badass who wrecks everybody or a scrawny guy who overcomes the odds anyway.

The over-sexualized female should be his girlfriend. It's basically Twilight only Edward is the main character and isn't gay, and Bella isn't a bitch.

Oh no Bella will still be a bitch. She'll just be a bitch who knows how to use her heels. :P And Edward'll still be gay... just the closet kind of gay that doesn't glow in the dark like Ke$ha on a Saturday night....

It depends on the plot. For more romantic scenes, I use female more often. For action, I use male. I dunno why though. :P

I write stories with both females and males. Though, I would say that writing with females is more interesting.

why make the main character have a girlfriend? If he had one, he wouldn't be able to get with all the others.

Female, b/c I simply do not know how male thinks :P

@ Akonyl You know the main character can be a two timer also right? Or other girls can throw themselves at him, typical male story no? XD LOL (Though to be fair, female leads run into similar situations 1 girl #guys, or 1 guy #girls.... hmmmm..... )

well yeah, but if you're going for a sympathetic character, you generally try to avoid giving them too many douchey traits :P

Genderless. I'd like make my character a tad more bit mysterious than normal.
