Where have the men gone?

Where have the men gone?

We often go out to play, and we discovered a strange thing. There are very few men among the tourists. So where are the men?

A few days ago, we went to Suzhou Huqiu Wetland Park. The place is huge, the water is wide, and there are many tourists. But after looking around, I found that more than 80% of the tourists were women, and less than 20% were men! Among women, aunts definitely occupy a leading position. There are a lot of them everywhere. Occasionally there is an uncle among them, who wears many hats, takes photos, carries bags, listens to instructions, and is very busy. There are also young and middle-aged ladies. It seems that they are all good friends, and there are no men involved. Maybe the secrets between women are safest to be kept in a small circle. The little girl naturally has a boyfriend to take care of her, otherwise it would be tasteless. It is difficult to see a group of men and a group of young men. It can be said to be extremely rare. There are still some elderly couples traveling together, but not many. Occasionally, I see a single old man. They are usually photography enthusiasts. They carry long guns and short cannons on their backs, walk briskly, and disappear after a while. This kind of scene is similar not only in Huqiu Wetland Park, but also in every tourist attraction.

Seeing such a scene, one cannot help but wonder: Why are there so many women and so few men in tourist attractions? Where are the men? I raised this question in the circle and hope everyone can explain it. Several friends are very enthusiastic, and they made the following analysis:

[if !supportLists]1.?[endif]Women are better at living, eating, wearing, and playing. Aunts are even more blessed with money and leisure. Men, on the other hand, don’t enjoy life. They either drink, smoke and play mahjong, or hide at home and complain online.

[if !supportLists]2.?[endif]Most men have a single interest and like to play with their mobile phones, no matter where they go. Even when traveling, I still play with my phone, so it doesn’t matter whether I go or not. But women love to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments. That is their favorite thing, and taking photos requires traveling.

[if !supportLists]3.?[endif]Women are born to be active, while men are more homely by nature. The older they get, the more so they are.

[if !supportLists]4.?[endif]Men are afraid of walking and have no interest in scenery and the like.

[if !supportLists]5.?[endif]This situation is not only true at home, but also abroad. Women are full of fantasy and more interested in the outside world.

Their views are very inspiring to me and they all make sense. I would also like to share my opinions and invite criticism.

First of all, it must be stated that the men and women I mentioned here are just general descriptions and rough inductive analyses. In fact, there are many exceptions, and it is impossible to cover everything.

Some people think that men and women seem to come from two different worlds, which are very different and difficult to understand each other. Men and women have very different interests, hobbies, living habits, and thinking concepts. This makes sense.

It may be true that men are more homely. It’s true that they love playing with mobile phones the most. So where is the best place to play? Of course it’s home. Middle-aged and elderly men like to play mahjong. It is better to play mahjong outside than at home, which is more secure.

Men generally don’t have as many friends as women. If you don’t believe it, let them count them carefully. Is it possible to go out with a large group of men? That probably only happens in gangster movies or at class reunions. Women are naturally sociable and sociable. They have many friends and close friends. Not to mention the seven aunts and eight aunts, even if you just go to sing a song or dance, you will have a large group of friends in no time. And friends just say, "Let's go out and play!" Everyone responded immediately and let’s go!

Women especially love beauty, and the driving force for beauty is narcissism. Women are much more narcissistic than men. So the most attractive thing to them is taking pictures. If we count all the photos we have ever taken, there are definitely the most women on them. Their photos are the most typical. No matter where they are, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, they must be in the most conspicuous center. If you can’t stand out, what’s the point of taking photos? So are there many men in the photos? Not just not many, but very few. Men may not like taking pictures by nature. In addition, although some uncles like photography, but they know how powerful it is to take pictures of a large group of aunts, so it’s better to save the time. Anyway, there are not many opportunities for praise, but there are many opportunities for criticism. The men gave up, but the aunts didn't care. They set off independently and had more fun by themselves without being burdened by the old man.

What is the old man doing at home? Shopping for groceries, cooking, reading WeChat, playing mahjong, taking a nap, life is very fulfilling. It's boring to think about running out, it's too tiring, it's better to let these women go crazy by themselves, and be happy and quiet at home.

Of course, boys must go out with their girlfriends when talking about friends. But after getting married, busy working outside and taking care of children at home, it’s not enough to finally have some free time to play with mobile phones. This continues until the children grow up, and there are not many opportunities for the family to travel together.

When I finally breathed a sigh of relief and could travel, there was a big difference in enthusiasm between women and men in this regard.

Women’s positivity is overwhelming! After enduring it for so long, it’s going to be fun now. But men don’t have much motivation left. I really feel that drinking tea, reading, and surfing the Internet at home is more leisurely. Women are always full of fantasy, eager to go out and see the world, and even think that the farther they go, the better. But men are very realistic, so it’s better to save some effort. What’s so good about those?

In summary, the reason seems to be very clear. No wonder most of the people I see when traveling are women.

Women live longer, maybe this is one of the main reasons?
