I'm a guy IRL, and I play either/or depending on the game and how the models look/animate. Whether armor looks dumb on them, whether they're too big or too small, whether their animations are fluid, etc.
I'm RPing a female character right now because it actually feels easier to me than the opposite. I don't want to feel like I "am" the character, I want to be able to think rationally about the character's personality from a distance and use that to calculate how she'd be most likely to react to any given situation, which probably says a lot about the way I approach RP.
I don't believe there's any way that you can say "here's how a man would react to this situation, and here's how a woman would react instead." Doubly so when the world/culture/species you may be RPing in is not at all similar to whatever you may be familiar with in real life.
