Who should I target my rental rooms to? Males or Females

[Daniel Later]

I am going to start renting a house by the room.  As a first-time landlord, would it be better to rent the house as females only or males only?  The house is in a strongly religious area, thus the gender separation.

@Daniel Later I rent my bedrooms out to tenants, but I also live in the house. I've found that, for whatever reason, I get way more responses from men about rooms. And generally, men aren't as picky about outdated kitchens/bathrooms. Men will likely not have as many personality conflicts. But be sure to properly screen any prospective tenants, especially after you get your first tenant in there. Make sure you give the opportunity for current tenants to meet and provide input on prospective tenants, that way they don't leave because they don't like someone. It will also make them feel like you value their input/opinion/life.
