Hello Everyone, I'm Angel.

I've had this topic in my head for a while and I've decided to bring it to light. Obviously there's bad skins for each gender along with good ones. However, finding a good skin for a guy is much more difficult and tedious than it is for girls. That's why most male players tend to resort to either using skins that resemble something other than a humane or give in and simply use a girl skin.

Don't get me wrong, there are good male skins here and there. But these can't possibly represent all players. At this point if you go to many skin sources over a period of time you will notice that more male skins are just slightly edited from a group of others and re-edited. I'm sure many of you know the mainstream male skins I'm reffering to...
-Typical boy skin with patterned scarf
-Average boy skin with 2010 justin beiber harcut(99.9 percent of boy skins....)
-Must I say any more?

As for female skins I feel like 9 times out of 10 it always out dos a descent male skin. I just feel like the minecraft player model, even including the newer one just allows for better female skins.

However this all is just my general opinion. If you agree or disagree feel free to leave a comment telling me what you think.

Ahaha, you sure about that now? Really, i'd say about 80% of boy and girl skins are just horrable.

have you checked skindex lately, because there are as many crappy girl skins there as there are boy skins. i don't mean to be mean or anything, but i think you should look on other sites, because there are a lot of bad girl skins that i don't think you've been exposed to.

I realize there are bad female skins as well. I mentioned briefly that there's both good female and male skins out there. Same going for bad skins. I don't even tend to go to the skindex that often because most of the skins there are of low detail/quality boy or girl. I'm just saying that in general female skins tend to look better on average. It's not really a matter if  there are bad ones.

our profile pics are the same character omg ;o i love juuzou too

or maybe it's just a matter of the abundant amount of really good teen skinners here on PMC that are noticed more, and create high quality, original skins. because i could give you a list of the mainstream female skins that you must have not seen enough of. i'm thinking:

-flannel jacket (usually on tomboy)
-short shorts
-ombre hair
-cutoff tanktop
-letterman jacket (usually on tomboy)
-backwards hat (usually on tomboy)
-knee-high boots
-side bang

not to mention the terrible shading quality on most all of them. 

if you're referring to PMC and PMC only, then I can see where you're coming from. Because yes, there are lots of high quality, amazing teen skinners out there. and the ones who don't teen skin, they generally create more original, non-teen skin things, so it's harder to come across a decent boy skin. but i've been on several skinning sites, and, to be honest with you, on those sites, you'll find more female skins, however it's a rare sighting if you come across a decent one.

I feel as if this blog is unfinished, as there's many questions left unanswered. For instance, the rather largest question of them all: How can the problem introduced be solved? How do you feel are the steps the skinners of PMC should take in order to solve this problem? You're introducing a problem, but have no examples of the solution. This should always be addressed in this sort of blog; I feel as the reader you are merely complaining on the matter and have no ideas on how to fix the problem.

I also noticed that your arguments are rather shallow; How does it allow better female skins? How do they outdo male skins, and why? Also, do you have proof on your statements as well? Any examples on your "mainstream male skins" that you've listed? You're not giving the readers enough context on your argument. What is a "typical boy skin with patterned scarf" or an "average boy skin with 2010 justin beiber haircut(99.9 percent of boy skins...)"? As you make a blog you need to keep in mind to allow the reader to grasp the context of your argument (Not every single little detail, but rather for examples of your arguments, or something most readers would find to be obscure.)

Other than that, you could brush up on proofreading. As a personal opinion on your argument, I feel there are more than enough decent male skins if not more that outdoes most female skins by a landslide, and that you're cherrypicking the bad ones in order to promote your bias of female skins. In terms of the general argument, I don't care. It's just a gender, or an influence of femininity/masculinity. If you feel that there needs to be more boy/girl skins, then make more boy/girl skins. Also, there are other reasons guys use girl skins as well, same reason why some girls use guy skins; it's their choice, and I don't judge.
