A deciding factor for many new players is finding an avatar that resonates well with "who they are."
The problem is the only decently made male avatars are very specific in what they represent. 
What I mean by that is male avatars are usually just ripped models from games and such. 
You're going to be playing as Solid Snake, Raziel or Kane, Dante or Vergil or Megaman or some other very specific character. 

When it comes to female avatars there's so many out there people can find ones that are each unique in their own way. 
The "Run of the mill" male avatar is incredibly limited. Wolf boy, ripped body with soft anime face, or some variation of that. 
There's no creativity in original male avatars.

And of course you got your traps and people who fantasize about being girls.
