I have used female names for random one-off online accounts and the difference in the way I was treated was pretty fascinating and frankly a little saddening.

Were you treated better, or worse?

Just... differently. A lot more random messages from strangers. A lot more smiley faces and what I could only describe as mild flirting or "flirt prodding". Depending on the platform there can also be a lot more abuse.

I did this in RuneScape and it was very profitable. It was before the grand exchange, so trade happened by standing in a bank and shouting out offers.
