So in a het story, I'm always left with one major character I can't relate to. Whereas is slash, I'm more likely to relate to both characters.
That said, I will read het as well, but I tend to hold it to a higher standard. The writing, the plot and the characterization have to be superb to make up for my typical disinterest in female characters due to the fact that I can't relate to them mentally or emotionally.
But I think my reason is atypical and my brain is a very strange place.
