DA, but from my experience, I really think men's tastes in fanfic are quite similar to the anon you were replying to, but gender-reversed. I see a lot of "dudefic" (fic obviously written by men) where there are only women in the story, even in canons where most of the main/most developed characters are men. I write a lot of porn that tends to appeal to guys and the requests I get are like a laundry list of rare femslash pairings, and when making up OCs, I've had those (I'm assuming guy) requesters specifically ask I only use OFCs, not OMCs, in my story. When seeking out mainstream media and stories, I think guys do want there to be a "relatable male protagonist" they can project onto and vicariously live through (see: all the mysteries and detective stories and war games and westerns and all that). But when it comes to fanfic? A lot of guys are allergic to the presence of any dicks, or male characters going through any experiences involving intense feelings, and prefer if female characters went through those experiences. I don't know it really is the case that men don't also experience that need for a bit of emotional distance when seeking out iddy fic.

Yes, the very straight (if not downright sexist) men I know prefer only girls. One likes girl-centric anime, especially where they kick ass (including anime where they beat up the men around them at the slightest excuse); another far preferred She-Ra to He-Man "because she's a girl."
