Hmm, that list is quite accurate. Though, I'd put it like this:

1. Seinen
2. Shounen/Shoujo
3. Josei

I can't stand Shoujo.

Shounen is the best genre there is next to general action and Seinen, however.

Shojo, over shonen.
I read all romances.

I do love both pretty equally. I love a nice mix between action / comedy to romance.
Saying that, my highest scored lean towards shounen.

I tend to like romance.
A lot of the touchy soft romance manga I love are shounen.

Shoujo doesn't seem to compare as well.

This is a hard one .. D:

I love the action and intensity of shonen, but at the same time I love reading romantic and funny shojos. But overall, I suppose my top choice is shonen :)

I have a lot of diverse ones, but as a whole, I think I like shounen more. It can vary and I can be more amused.

Shoujo...well...If its written well, I'll probably like it. But if the girl is acting stupid and misunderstands things all the time...it makes me wanna bash my head in.

Shoujo may tend to be cliche, corny and flowery, but I love reading them :) It's fun!

I do read some shounen, though, but it depends on the series.

I like both to say the truth. For me, it all depends whether the plot, and characters are good. If they are, I will be sure to mostly like it whether it is shoujo or shounen.

Both. It depends on the story- there are some shoujo that are inane, sappy romances that are just awful, while there are shounen that are never-ending battles and bloodlettings, with little to no character development. While overall, I care for shoujo a tad more, I do also enjoy shounen mangas.

This is hardly even a choice for me at all. Shounen of course. Without that I wouldn't be an anime/manga fan.

I like both but with a slight preference to shounen.

I think the shounen has a wider variety of options, for example: I like sports, romance, slice of life and psychological.

But everything depends on the story there're shounen mangas that are popular but are boring, such as Bleach and Fairy Tail (sorry Bleach and FT's fans).

Both! I really do love shounen, and I would say that I like the genre more than shoujo, but I get so sucked into those romance stories! I'm not very girly either. It must be my inner girl crying out in pure joy when I pick up some sparkle covered shoujo manga.

I'd say I prefer shounen, since most mangas I read and like are more or less connected to the genre. :)

I have a lot of 8+/10 ratings among Shounens and Seinens.
And only three among Shoujo with such scores, two of the 10/10 though (Fruits Basket, Kodomo no Omocha).

I like shounens and seinens more, but that's because a very good shoujo is much rarer in my opinion.

I usually like shounen and seinen series better as well, but I really like those shounen-y shoujo and shoujo-y shounen mangas. :D
People often assume that shoujo = corny romance, but there are shoujo mangas that aren't centered around romance and have an interesting storyline.

Neither, don't really care if it's shonen or shojo, just reading it for the story.

Hard to say really, most stuff I read has some romance in it, but recently I guess I have been leaning towards shounen. Although, there are a lot of good shojo I really want to get around to reading.

Shonen, probably because I'm its demographic but still...I really like the cliche over the top shonen mangas! The more cliche the better in my opinion!

either can be good, but it is on a case by case basis... the average spawn of either series tends to be sub-par... I definitely prefer seinen...

Both genres are greatly different from each other, so comparing both of them, is out of question. But if you ask what I prefer more, which you do, then it is shoujo.

I prefer both of them. I don't mind reading a shoujo manga, same as i don't mind reading a shonen. They are both cute, even if shonen mangas are more interesting and not so common as shoujo.

I'm a girl, but I prefer shounen manga over shoujo manga...Shoujo just doesn't work on me..I guess. Not all, but most. (But that doesn't mean I don't read, there are a few that I love, though!) . Yes, I like romance, but I just don't like how the romance works in most shoujo manga, and I find the romance in some shounen...more interesting.
