This is true that Second Life has a larger female population (50%); in fact Second Life has the biggest female population compared to other virtual worlds. Most of the women on SL is in the 35-55 age range (on average: 33 years old), which is quite uncommon on other platforms. They also log into Second Life more than males, by the way. | |||
'''However,''' do NOT confuse the ''population gender'' with ''avatar "looks"'', that is: Anyone can play any gender at any moment by modifying his/her appearance (In the Appearance window, look in the Shape / Body section. You can easily change your gender by selecting either Male or Female, located under the side buttons.) | |||
Long story short: yes, there are a substantial amount of female players around; but be advised that you can easily switch genders at any moment! | |||
That said and done, you have been warned :) |
