I must be the most guy-like woman on earth, I inevitably get check-in emails (for years) from guys I have gone out with, including ones that obviously did not want to keep going out with me on a physical/romantic basis. They just want to say hello, and check in and get opinions on what I think is going on in their lives and other stuff. ("Yes, Peter, I am really happy the new Harper Lee manuscript is being published. And don't keep going out w/the woman who seems to want you for green-card access.")
I really think it is b/c although I am a woman, I am kind of like a guy in a lot of ways, including in the "OK, that didn't work, I wish you the very best and lets both move on" one. I am wondering, in addition to the "50 is the new thirty", "geeky is the new sexy", is there a new "guys are the new girls" and vice versa thing? Some of this is tongue in cheek, but it does make me wonder, both about myself and the changes in the world.
