Well just wanted more time out and got bored easier. Did also find them more cage territorial but then I also had a very territorial male! But hamster personalities and habits really do differ a lot so getting a female won’t ensure you’ll get an active one that’s awake more.
My experience with hamsters being in heat is that syrians smell much worse! I don’t think I’ve actually noticed a smell with dwarves.
