Even though I haven't shared much, I have written a bit of fanfic and a bit of original fic, and the better stuff usually is written about the boys. The girls I write are angsty and dramatically tormented, but the guys I write are plausibly human.
Similarly (that'll be a pun in a minute), I like playing my guy characters when playing The Sims (see, there it is). Especially since now you can 'Try for Baby' - he wouldn't be stuck with it (my Sims are sluts)!
Some of the relative fascination is 'boys are pretty' and part of it is 'boys have more fun'. Most of it, I think, comes from the same part of my brain that cringes when there are too many females around me. Ew, girls.
