Females are seen as less aggressive, and more helpful. Of course, this may not always be true, but it is a general belief!

It's difficult for some male receptionist to calm down an irate male customer or even a flustered female customer. When you have a woman with a gentle smile, calming voice and soft ways, it's just seems so wrong to chew her out for your problems either in person or over the phone. Kind of like beating on your friends mother or something like that. So the employer chooses the female over the male.

Recpetion duties very often involve a lot of multi tasking, so I think women are better suited to the job.
But really you need to be askin "why do mainly women apply for receptionist jobs and not men" If no men apply for receptionist jobs in the first place then none can be employed

Stereotyping, most people think of a receptionist as a woman, and so, not wanting to rock the boat, they use women for this position.

Not against the women.
But women tends to have better temper.
Women make the receptionist look good. *no extra decor needed* just kidding :)

Because women are charming by nature. It is important to always have a smiling face in the front office as they are the first person that prospective clients see. As they say, first impression always last! Hence, it is important that it be a woman. :)

Well it depends. I don't think most companys nessasarily prefer female receptionists, I think they are often the only ppl who apply.

Think about this on a primal level, and you'll come up with the answer yourself.
Chances are, you already know the answer, but are hoping it's actually something else???

because most of the employers are too over-confident of themselves, who think themselves to be still young to have a girlfriend.
