After finishing the first season, I have noticed that all the loose souls so
far have been hiding in female hosts. I realize it makes sense for the male
protagonist to be working with females, but is it _possible_ for a male to
have a loose soul? Perhaps there is a female counterpart to Keima that deals
with the males?

Can loose souls hide in males?


There is a reason why the runaway spirits hide in females. A runaway spirit
can be reborn as the child of a female host. For this reason, essentially all
runaway spirits have female hosts. As far as I know it has never been
explicitly addressed whether a runaway spirit is capable of possessing a male
host, but even if they could it wouldn't be of any benefit to them since the
primary goal of the spirits is to be reincarnated.

This was explained in chapter 3 of the manga (before the Mio conquest), but at
least according to @ShinobuOshino below in the comments, not in the anime. It
does come up in some future arcs though (I'll avoid spoiling exactly when), so
it may be mentioned later in the anime.
