Because he finds brave young girls most... delicious.

As a pervy old vampire who's been collecting brides for 500 years, Neclord probably wouldn't be interested in biting men. He used a doppelganger trick to avoid death in Suikoden 1, so perhaps his double was a bit gay.

Either way, it seems kinda dumb giving him a weak attack that only targets females because then you can make the fight easier by having more women in your party.

I think it's kind of a cool little detail in the game. Shows the developers took the time to incorporate something mostly inconsequential for gameplay, but adding a layer of depth to the background and fluff of the story. It's also a good way of demonstrating that Suikoden 2 is more advanced than Suikoden 1, albeit considering Suikoden 2 came out in the US within a week of Final Fantasy 8, advanced might not be the first term associated with it :P

Because the game was well written.

it's what eldrasidar just said, it's one of those little details that make Suikoden really cool because they use little gameplay stuff to express story things.
