In school, did you typically prefer teachers of a specific gender?

Asked by Sarcasm (16793points) November 9th, 2009

This question was prompted by me browsing my college’s catalog and getting prepared for next semester by checking all of the teachers on Ratemyprofessor.com

About 90% of my teachers in K-12 were female. In college, it evened out to roughly 50–50.
For both genders, I’ve had teachers I disliked and teachers I enjoyed.

But I’ve realized that all of the teachers that I really enjoyed having classes with were male.
I can’t really point my finger at a reason. I just feel like there’s a more relaxed atmosphere with male teachers.

I’m curious if most other people are like that.
Whether they feel that they connect better with the same (or different) gender, or that they enjoy staring at an attractive [preferred gender] body during the class, or that a certain gender teaches more preferable to your style, so on and so forth.
