Women have more friends than men because men need less attention than women

I keep seeing people say that women tend to have more friends and be more sociable than men. I think this is true but it's also misleading and it's time we stop being disingenuous on this point.

The reason for this isn't that women are so sociable and friendly and people just love being around them. The reason women tend to have more friends usually boils down to three things:

1) men generally speaking neither ask nor expect their S/O to give up her friends in order to just dote on and spend all this time with him. He doesn't care if she goes out to brunch with her girlfriends or sits on the phone with them for hours. Compare that to the number of women who complain about their men going out with their buddies or even playing video games on Live with their friends.

2) women will budget time to their girlfriends in ways they would never tolerate if a man did for his guy friends. Part of women's whole deal about "mental load" and "emotional labor" is taking on the problems of other people around them, which is why she then has nothing left in the tank for her man.

3) people are way more accepting of trauma dumping from women than they are from men. Some women are only "friends" with other women insofar as they need other women who will sit and hold the phone while they vent about their problems. Other than maybe his mother and/or a therapist, who do men have to go and whine and cry about their problems?

To top it all off, when men insist women maybe spend more time and focus their attention on their men, a lot of people will argue that's an abusive mindset because abusers will isolate their victims from their loved ones. So women get to split their time and energy and attention with everybody who will give it back. Meanwhile, his attention has to be all on her. If not her, making money (to provide for her).

Women even kind of give up the game when you hear them talk about the kind of guy they want. They love a guy with no social media, no female friends, doesn't go to the bar/club every weekend, and only wants to hang out with them.
