    Because women are socialized (and possibly genetically predisposed) to be better at building community and having many close relationships, often more physically intimate as well (touching, hugs etc). So men are less equipped to live alone.

      I don’t know about many, but I can tell you I went ten miles out of my way today to see a friend I haven’t seen in a hot minute and get a hug.

        Aside from your dismissive comment. Perhaps the reason todays men are not equipped, is because of “traditional” or post war roles conditioned against emotional relationships with peers.
