Are boys just not as friendly?

I have a bottle raised buck who is very friendly and loves to cuddle... something I don't dare do at the moment because he's in rut and REEKS. He's really one of the sweetest goats in the herd when he's not busy blubbering at the ladies. My other buck is easy to catch, easy to handle but not particularly friendly. That's no problem as far as I'm concerned. As long as no one is aggressive or difficult to handle. It can certainly be easier to maintain personal space with a standoffish buck.

I have the opposite. I only have wethers, no bucks and my herd is 50/50 girls to boys. The girls are all very standoffish. The boys are in your face, all over you, wanting attention all the time. Maybe because they're wethers? IDK?
