Women tend to have stronger social networks outside of their relationships, a lot of men basically just have their GF and maybe one guy they get beers with every 3 months.
This is the problem. A lot of mens relationships are built on common interest and convenience. When either of those things change, those friends tend to drift, and as people get older, its harder to make friends (due to lack or opportunities like school/class).
Generally, women tend to value the relationship more than men, and will try to nurture the relationship, even if they no longer share common interests.
No we don't.
Is there anything to back this up? I haven’t seen anything that supports this outside of unequal cishet relationships where the woman is financially coerced into maintaining a relationship.
