I also play with a group that mostly consists of men, but the two styles tend to be pretty different, LOL. There is a much more heavy romantic element to the all-girl group, while the other just tends to largely skip that and go straight for the combat.
That makes for a nice change to hear, how many women in your table top group? I have had a terrible time getting many women in my games - over the 20 years I've been GMing I've never had more than 2 steady female players at any one time ... and currently only have 1 in a group total of 5 members. (though she is an old friend, gamer, and girlfriend to one the others, so she doesn't have to feel uncomfortable being the one out among us) I have found that running male and female players can be very different in some ways - especially when it comes to what they want to emphasize in a game or even what kind of game systems they prefer. (my female players tend to prefer rules light systems which allow them to get into the story faster and require less memorization of mechanics ... while most of my male players prefer to have very mechanic heavy systems; after 20 years I've tried many games ranging all across that spectrum)
I wish I had a female friend who played the Dragon Age series and who would giggle about the LIs with me ... as none of my male friends tend to care about that as much as I do and would be caught dead before actually discussing the "pixel romances" in any meaningful way.

but it was pretty funny when my room-mates were observing me like I was some kind of a rare animal at the time demo came out, they loled while watching me squee;) and later when they saw the game one of them took it from me and played herself! She was playing with commitment, got very irritated when the ogre attacked ;p but she still think I'm crazy...uh well, what can I do 
Women in general tend to be more story focused and "don't bother me with all those rules", in my experience.
Later I become dedicated fungirl of Lara Croft and I play many games since then. For me no game is better than Dreamfall and Dragon Age. 
and I played Dreamfall before I got to play Longest Journey to find out more about this magnificent story<3 The story is something that attracts me the most to the games, that's the biggest reason why I adore Dragon Age. I'm glad there are places where being a girl and play computer games is not weird, in fact, I'm writing an academic study about relation between human needs and computer games
