Just as all humans have different personalities, so do cats. Some humans can cohabitate exceedingly well and some just can't live together no matter what they do. This also holds true for the cats. Much depends on the cats themselves, their backround, as well as the living conditions and how the home is set up. I have 8 cats with 8 very different personalities, 5 females and 3 males. One male is my velcro kitty. Where I am, he is. He's the most affectionate and mellow boy you can imagine. He thinks my lap was made especially for him. One female is just like that too. The other males and females are affectionate in their own right, but prefer to be the one to make the first move and aren't particularly fond of laps, altho they do want to lay up against you. It's a peaceful co-existance with the occasional spat. So I can't honestly say that one sex is better than the other to introduce into your household. But I can say from experience that with proper introductions, almost all cats will become friends and that they usually figure out a way to live in harmony. As for one sex being friendlier or more affectionate than the other, it all depends on the cat itself. You just have to love their uniqueness.
