I have two boys. I didn't really plan it out that way but I'm glad it worked out that way. They're both love bugs and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
Gandalf was lovingly raised by my cousin who is the only person I know that might dote on her kitties more than I dote on mine, well besides my parents. Samwise was a stray and just showed up on that same cousin's porch. So they come from different backgrounds.
My cat growing up was a girl and she was very standoffish. However I know nothing of her history before about 8 weeks of age. We got her at the petstore and well who knows. She however bonded very closely with me and since I've moved on to my father so she's a bit more lovey with the person that is hers.
I think it's probably a mixture of the sex of the cat, every female I've know has been less outgoing and people focused than the males. And nuture, females can open up and become very lovey in the right circumstances and males standoffish.
