You know, I've found that to be very true. Usually I write in first-person female POV. For some reason with the story I'm writing now, it's third-person limited omniscence, and a male character. It makes things... interesting, to say the least, and I'm pleasantly surprised how well it's going for me.

I've only recently started using multiple viewpoints in my work. Everything up to now I've kept tight within the scope of a single POV...if the character doesn't know or see something, neither does the audience. I figure that helps them build sympathy with my character.

Obviously, there's no right or wrong answer, it's what you are comfortable with and think will tell the story best.
