That's something of a reflection on life I think. You might find the boys
are a little more comfortable with the girl character because;
1. the girl's player is a guy and likely to understand the role play for

2. the guys are a little less inhibited in the role playing environment. I
mean, how many of your players would happily geek someone for example?

I have two ladies who play in my games. The tend to chase the boy
characters worse than the boy characters chase them. Think yourself lucky.
