just like in real life.

online there are the sexual guys who will buy you anything to be theirs.

And there are the annoying sexist ones. I think it often has to do with a primitive feeling in the guy of "there is a female right there that im interacting with but she isnt having sex with me. i am thus annoyed." so the male does mean pokes at the female because it's "her fault" they arent having sex. i've seen it a trillion times. "why arent you MY bitch?" pokes rudely

And lastly there is the good type of male who, just like the good type of female, can have fun with you while playing the game together and enjoying the play; simple as that.

There was that study that found that the men most aggressive towards women in gaming were those less skilled than them, I think about that one a lot

That same "study" uses evolution psychology which was proven to be not reliable. But hey at least we get to demonize men right as always.

The explanation for the data uses evolution psychology, but that doesn't invalidate the data itself.
