Personally, I don't think affection is gender-based - I think it just depends on the dog. When I first started looking, I totally wanted a girl - but they were impossible to find - so I got my Wylie. When I was ready for a 2nd, I didn't even really think about it - there was a boy available and I said YEP, even though Wylie is a Daddy's boy. Marcel turned out to be a Momma's boy.   
I just LOVE having boys, I don't know why - they're just my little "dudes, my little "men", ya know?
