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.

As I've aged I find myself choosing female characters more and more in games that give the option. For me, it's not about "heheh, hot" at all, they mostly have better voice acting and feel less cliché. I often try the different choices for a few hours to get a feel of which voice actor/actress I like most, and the vast majority of the time it's the female one. I also generally like heroines more, both in games and movies/series.

Same for me, but male V is actually pretty damn good. I might actually prefer him after a playthrough with each.
