After all Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) has attention seeking behavior too and it's far more common in females whereas NPD is far more common in males.
My amateur opinion, but did read a bit about this a while ago: Could be due to sexist interpretations/expectations. A male person might be better diagnosed with HPD but end up being diagnosed as NPD because Histrionic behaviour may manifest differently in male persons than in female persons in general. And if you think about it, the ideal HPD person in people's minds is usually female whereas ideal NPD figure is usually male. Which may reinforce the idea that HPD is predominantly female while NPD predominantly male.
