DV,
my 2c for what it's worth. I am a man who prefers doing business with women.
My experience is women as a general rule feel they have less to prove and I like that.
Additionally, I find it easier to deal with women due to chemistry. All the little nuances(sp?) a little smile here and there really helps things go along smoothly.
I've recently got my wife into the business of building pages and stuff because she has a view of things unique from my own and I find it valuable.
women rule, guys drool...
