Gender doesn't make some people more interesting, in my opinion. Openness, eclectic interests and a sense of humor do it for me. Actually, it isn't the eclectic nature of interests as much as intellectual curiosity. That said, a lot of the men I've had the most engaging conversations with have been gay. As for whether or not women behave "badly" with no men around, it depends on the women. I think most fairly homogeneous groups will say things that won't be repeated in "mixed" company.
Hmm, doesn’t “interesting” really depend on the person? I find folks interesting who can converse without constant stoppers, people probably more at home in an improv group. It does seem as though one has to gain admittance sometimes; I find that telling junior high stories of shooting rats with a 22 at the town dump enlivens talk with men, for instance. With women what works for real talk needs some emotional leavening, and personal response.
