Because everyone likes cute, being visually appealing is just plain good. In a perfect world where you choose your own appearance, there is no point in appearing handsome, you can just keep 'handsome' mannerisms and look peak aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Given a chance, we'd all be astolfos.

[spoiler]nah, you're on to something. now that i think about it, if i wouldn't feel somewhat pressured to use female avatars, i'd probably use a male one instead. it kinda feels like at this point male avatars are a sign of a fake-dominant teenage simp, while using female avatar marks you as 'one of us'. of course it's not universal and there are multiple anons around here who use male avatars and are accepted+beyond based, but i still feel like there is this general rule: if you use male avatar, you better make up for it with behavior[/spoiler]
[spoiler]and girls use female avatars because male one yields you no attention unless you're an interesting person[/spoiler]
