It seems most men get their sense of identity and purpose from providing for and serving a woman. That's why divorced men remarry so quickly after a divorce, whereas women are more likely to just leech enough money from the ex-husband to be able to remain single.

I think that's why MGTOW is not very popular with 95%+ of men, because the vast majority of men need a woman to provide for and work long hours for and if they don't then they feel like a total loser.

Most men are incredibly gynocentric, they do not see living for the benefit of themselves as a worthy purpose in life.

The vast majority of women are more than happy to be single and just put themselves first and live for themselves, but most men seem to struggle massively with that mentality.
