I can't be the only person bothered by this. Every female skin looks the same. No effort is made by anyone to create a woman with very short hair or a pony tail, or to impart personality into their faces. It really is very simple to make your own unique take on a common face design. I made a compilation of 18 different female faces to provide people with ideas to individualize their characters.

It's okay to not look female. That's what Character Cards are for, and it doesn't matter if you get your gender mistaken. You can just use OOC chat to correct it.

Stop using the same hairstyle with the bangs and the fringes. Medieval women combed their hair back and bound it. Do you even know how difficult it is to maintain and brush hip lenght hair?

Not all women look cutesy. Not all women look like women. Androgyny aside, in medieval times it was much easier to pass off as the opposite gender due to lacking hygiene.
 
Uhm, is Amelia okay? I never really used the generic female eyes with her...

Idek, perhaps I'm 100% wrong.
 
Can vouche that it's nearly impossible to just leave hip-length hair unbound and not be miserably hot or uncomfortable. My hair is past my waist and is constantly either braided or in a ponytail because it's highly impractical to leave it loose.
 
-El shrug- I'd honestly change my skins' faces, if i didn't end up botching everything ever in the process.
 
You can definitely take it from me, that having long hair is hard to manage. It's possible, but generally it gets tangled after a few hours of managing. And that's for me, when I simply sit at home all day. It's difficult to manage and go through an entire day if you don't either braid it, or put it up. Even in a ponytail, or such it does get tangled.


having long hair is a jerk

- that one girl who just trims her hair lol.
though in reality like, I just go without brushing my hair because I am lazy as hell.
same goes for why my skins look the same. I'm lazy.


im gonna go brush my hair now

Oh god. Finally someone agrees. I love you Marty.
 
I definitely noticed this also, been annoying me for ages. Long hair is extremely frustrating in real life. (Which is why I cut it all off, I'm lazy, and it was beginning to turn into dreadlocks... :I) My current female character...

Don't forget that there was also a time (around the 15th century) when noble women shaved their foreheads ...

we should totally think of taking on that trend too, to keep our fantasy role play as close to rl as possible..

Edit:
Oh and if we are already addressing the clone topic: Stop the clone army of men! ;)
I read through some of the recently approved characters and all male characters have muscles of some sort. Either they are lean or packed with them, but I didn't come across a character with beer belly, as you would assume at least some nobles would have.

I'm working on a fat dwarf xD
 
As a male with long hair, It's a pain, tangling. knotting, split ends and all that as all the women/other people with long hair have said. Be hipsters ppl instead of long hair. That's why I'm gettin a haircut tommorow. grown out of the metalhead long hair fad.

@hipstergods pls don't smite me, I'm not ready to be smitten

Natty I am one of them metalhead long hair guys. God. *Hairflick*
 
I have long-ish hair, and yeah, it's hard to take care of, but I generally have it in a Edward Elric-like braid.
 
Maybe if Character Cards were also available to non-premiums too? I mean, if it doesn't matter if the female skin looks female or not because that's what character cards are for, then...

Or we could just stick to correcting people in the OOC chat. That's fine too. I've got no problem with it. But hey, whatever pulls your carriage! :)

I never look at character cards except when I'm bored. OOC is better because everyone else can see it and not make the same mistake.
 
My little Maddis! She's pretty Androgynous but not to the point where you can't even a little that she's female? In my opinion.
