One advantage I noticed, from writing from the male perspective, is that it allows me to describe the women in the story without being romantic about it, necessarily. Maybe Daniel looks at Charlotte a certain way but doesn't verbalize it; that aids the story because you're in his head. Or maybe in Psych, Gus likes Abigail okay but doesn't feel romantic towards her. It's less suspenseful but also less confusing, and I try not to leave my readers confused unless I have to.
That is a good point. I admit, I've written a lot of stories that have a male pov but are totally about a woman.
