Too many dudes playing female characters and lying hoping a lonely nerd gives them stuff.
Interesting that you mention that; there's a sociology paper by Amy S. Bruckman [LINK] which touches on this and implies a way to tell the difference.

Many people, both male and female, enjoy the attention paid to female
characters. Male players will often log on as female characters and behave
suggestively, further encouraging sexual advances. Pavel Curtis has noted
that the most promiscuous and sexually aggressive women are usually played by
men. If you meet a character named "FabulousHotBabe," she is almost certainly
a he in real life.
