/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I think the most natural response would be that since there are far less male cosplayers than female ones (seriously, just take a look around your next con), the chances that a good cosplayer will be a female are pretty big. I think most guys don't really care about fame either, or details in the same way.

I'm a dude but I always try to go for either funny cosplays or characters that I really enjoy, regardless of how much attention theese costumes will bring me. I don't cosplay anime characters since I'm a guy who actually looks like a guy, thus my only options if I don't want to look like shit are manly men, and I don't have the body for that.

Like I said earlier a lot of guys don't care about details, so it's not exactly uncommon seeing Sebastian cosplayers with no make-up who look... less than stellar, and then see a female crossplayer who looks far more like the actual character, since most anime characters are rather feminine, regardless of gender.

Just my 2 cents, but I'd go with that.
