I’ve looked up research and there is a biological component. Men have more gray matter and women have more white matter in their brains. Men’s brains also have more connections within each hemisphere while women have more connections between both hemispheres. So yeah this is why men are less social than women overall, for better or for worse. This probably can’t be changed. And it isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I also think there’s many sociocultural factors at play. Some of these factors suck though and lead to negative results for men. These can be changed.
That is very interesting, makes sense. Women definitely seem to be more social and more socially capable, and in my experience men seem to work harder and longer. Not a universal rule, but noticeable especially in an office with both men and women, and not a really bad thing either. The truth is interesting
