This was also true of all my male - female mixed breeds. My males just were far more outgoing and friendly no matter if purebred or not. And they were different ages when adopted - kitten to full grown.
Ling (from our barn cats) chose us to stay. I honestly wanted to keep her brother because they have better personalitys. But Ling (5 weeks old) was insistant on staying - she was loud, mouthy and first one to sit at your feet and screem at you till picked up.
However, as an adult cat she is not a lap cat, hates to be held more then a minute and will lay with you when SHE choses to do so. Charlie on the other hand, loves the attention, the cuddles, and snuggling on your lap playing.
That's why when we wanted an ocicat - we insisted on male vs female. Ling's personality says she would not tolerate another female in the house.
When I was looking for a new household pet to join the family, I was looking at male cats - got a very laid back red tabby/white male who was a lovebug.
IMO I'd choose male over female every time. Now with dogs - its the oppisite - females dogs are nicer then males in most cases
