I am not 100% certain but think you would be in trouble re discrimination & equality if you stated male only in the ad.

If it involves personal care then yes it is generally considered to be justified to discriminate on the physical sex of the position.

I applied for such a vacancy which stipulated as such but alternatively you decide who of the applicants you want to interview?
