I have never noticed any difference between males or females interest in meteorites when speaking in front of a general group (school class for example). What I have noticed is a more obsessive behaviour in males compared to females. That doesn't have anything to do with meteorites and can be seen in most hobbies. ... at least that is my experience. I bought my first meteorite ten years ago, an etched Gibeon cube, when I was on a mineral fair. A couple of days later I gave it to my girlfriend without telling her what it was. She would get it if she could tell me what it was. At first I got a disgusted "A piece of rusty iron pipe!" out of her, she expected a gemstone when I told her I bought something on that fair. Second guess came not long after, "It's a meteorite!" She still cherish that meteorite, she just got rid of me. :-) For me it took another seven years until I bought my first meteorite but now I'm just as obsessive as any male collector. Enough now, I think I will pour a glass of wine and look at my meteorite collection a while. Cheers!
