I think it's just a matter of preference and personality. I've got a few (very few!) female friends who I'm very close to, but throughout my life I've had more male friends than female friends and have always found that conversation with men flows better for me.
But I seem to be noticing a common denominator here: the small talk. I can't stand it either. The girl friends that are close to me are and have always been women who are not the stereotype of female friendships. Sure, we do get girlie every now and then and talk about things from the female universe, but that's not what holds the friendship together.
So unless you miss having a female friend or really want to have one for whatever reason, I think that just accepting that you get along better with men is absolutely fine. It could be for a lot of different reasons, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
If you DO, however, want to have female friends (there are benefits too! lol), then just try to find someone you're comfortable with and see how it flows. Easier said than done, I know, but you might want to try to look for these friends in different places, places where you're likely to find like minded women.
