Just thinking...oh so dangerous!

As I watch and listen to the world around me, I realize that men do not do well without women. What I mean by this statement is that men seem not to make many friends, they depend on the women in their lives to create friendships. Of course, this doesn't especially pertain to single men. Once married, many men seem to have friends through their wives and when they retire or lose their wives they are like fish out of water. Women on the other hand, have many friends and seem to run in packs. We don't even go to the restroom alone. I wonder if this is due to the what role society has cast the male into or do we women influence our males by taking care of them too well. Another point to ponder...mmm.
