Men's saddles are narrower. They have smaller pelvic outlets for the most part.
Welcome to the Wide Bones Club, co-chairs BleeckerStGirl and Knot.
The only saddles we've found to fit our sits are Brooks B18, B66, B67, B68, B72. www.wallbike.com gives you six months trial on any Brooks saddle, no questions asked.
With approx a 165mm sit bone width, you will want a saddle about 185mm wide at least. (to give you 1 cm of wiggle room to each side)
It's dang hard to find one that wide that ISN'T padded like a la-z-boy. Brooks B67 has made my world a better place, and I have them on two of my bikes right now, and planning to get one for my 3rd bike pdq.
(FWIW, my sits are between 170-180mm depending on how "aero" I am. The Brooks B67 and it's cohorts are 210mm wide. Unpadded leather. "T" shaped top. Bliss!)
