I'm not sure--I mean, I'm pretty homosocial, too. I can count the number of men I've considered true friends rather than acquaintances on one hand. So that's why I say "emotionally" rather than "romantically"--it's a broader thing for me.
I haven't had enough chances to date women to be totally sure it would carry over romantically, but the idea of pursuing a serious primary relationship with another man should this one not work out is really discouraging. It's a lot easier to find women who are past feminism 101, for one thing, and a lot of things that women understand from experience that men (except perhaps transmen, who have experienced how society treats those perceived as women) can't. So it's easier for me to relate to women in general. Hmm. I'm not really sure how to articulate all this, since I've really only started realizing it recently.
