i.e. why is this the case?

factors to rule out:

  • There are more men than women (not true - at most the split is 52/48)

possible factors:

  • men make the first move more often so it cuts a step for women

    • (i'd also like discussion on why tend to make the first move more often. I am aware that it's a gender role, but then that leads to the question of why that gender role expectation exists. Could it just be biological male/female differences?)
  • men are thirstier?

  • men find more women attractive than the opposite?
