My girl kitty likes to lick me a lot. She licks my hand when I pet her and when I kiss her she licks my face. My boy cat never licked me, so I'm wondering if it's just her being motherly or if girl cats lick people more than boy cats.

Hmm...does "it depends on the cat" provide enough of an answer for you? Or will that uncertainty drive you nuts?
 Of the 2 current male cats in our household both are lickers and groomers, but I think that it has been heavy influenced with the only female pet in our home who makes it her personal cat mission to groom everyone. Older cat? You must be groomed. New cat that I am not accustomed to? You will submit to my grooming and learn to groom me as I so desire. (Now they tandem face groom. Should be a Pet Olympic Sport.) 90 pound dog? Not only will you let me groom you, but you will learn to love me and become my boyfriend. (True story!) The male and female cats before we had the super licker in the family barely licked, unless there were potato chips nearby. We are all under the spell of the Alpha Cat

I'm with bookmadness on this one. It depends on the cat. I've had both male and female cats that groomed me. Have also had male and female cats who had absolutely no interest in grooming me.

My male neutered kitty has licked me from the first day. Sometimes he kneads and makes suckling noises. He's about 5 years old now. Adopted at 2-3 months

My male kitty licks me more than my female kitty. But these are my only two kitties i've ever had.
