Recent psychological research indicates that men place a greater importance on romantic relationships compared to women. Studies from various universities reveal that men expect to gain more from partnerships, leading to stronger motivations to find them. Men report greater mental and physical health benefits from being in relationships, have a lower propensity to initiate breakups, and experience more emotional distress post-breakup.
