Male players: Why do you play female characters? (kbin.social)

Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

I pretty much agree with everything here except D&D. I just don't have enough confidence in my voice to play a female character exclusively. I already have some difficulty doing it well enough for DMing, but this is something I hope to change. Maybe that's because I've never played with a premade though.

I don't generally force a pitch for different genders if that's what you're talking about. If I'm doing a voice, it'll be in the accent and/or volume more and maybe the mannerisms.
