i think the gender is less important than the particular person. i'd say... meet a few and see how you feel. it might be that the guys are standing out more than the girls or it might be the other way around. you might find that it is other qualities that are more important to you.

i know that i find it much harder (it takes much longer) for me to bond with females. but that being said i did bond well with two female therapists and saw them as big sisters, i guess.

if you don't know... it might be that the male / female thing isn't really that much of an issue for you. maybe... it is more about finding the right person, whatever gender they might happen to be.
