Expanding My Horizons

One of the objectives that I have for myself, at university, is to meet people who have different points of view and different perspectives on life. In some small way I am fulfilling that objective. I am open to meeting people and will talk to almost anyone I meet, which has lead me to some interesting conversations with students of varying backgrounds, ages, areas of interest etc. The one thing that I do find odd is that most of the people, that I get to know or talk to for more than a couple of sentences, are women. I do get along better with women and most of my best friends have been women, but I do find it odd that most of the people who approach me and strike up a conversation are women. It leaves me wondering. Why?
