I'm a girl IRL but I tend to RP only men since years by now. 
Â
More specifically, I like to get into the role of a muscular, stubborn and dominant type - with my Mi'qote I'm definitely going for the aggressive and brawny nunh type, even though the origins of my character are very detached from typical mi'qote tribal culture.
A background that I'm not going to mention because it's unrelated to this thread's main topic, but anyway!
I defininely love RPing men. I can relate to their mentality a lot and I absolutely find it entertaining to portray testosterone and pride, with all of its negative implications.
Nevermind the fact that I find men generally more visually appealing to have on my screen all the time, I'm actually very into the psychological aspect of it all. I think I understand men fairly well, the way they work, what brings them to say/do certain things and to "re-create them" into RP is a huge source of entertainment.
It takes me far away from who I am IRL, it forces me to 'swap' my brain for another, to revolution my personality and my way of thinking, and that is as challenging as it is intriguing.Â
Women can be fun and everything, but it bores me to death to play one. I really don't find it stimulating, more often than not it feels like a lukewarm waste of time and I don't even know why. Maybe because I'm already one and it just feels like a repeat of what it already is, more or less? I don't know.
I just know that I love my IC men, with all their perks and flaws, just as long as their psychology-structure stays realistic and deep, I'm always happy.
I also find that men played by women tend to turn out extremely interesting, they have an 'added flavour' sometimes that I can't quite explain. More often than not, they are very motley personality-wise, very intriguing.
It happened several times that one of my characters got into a gay romance with a male played by another girl, and the quality of the writing, of the feelings and everything that orbited around it was pretty much excellent. Not once have I thought that they didn't pull off a man exceedingly well. (Yes, I'm one of those 'females playing men-loving men'!
Although my guys tend to be always bisexual, just with a light penchant towards their own gender.)
But, ah, that's beside the point.
