Apparently, male college students are much less likely to study abroad than their female classmates. Does anyone have any insights as to why?https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/583828/ …

Patrilocality. Anthropologists report that in many societies, young women tend to travel farther from their natal group? Just a guess.

Interesting, but contrast that to the US frontier, which was heavily male, whether ancestry was European or Asian. Maybe there’s an interaction with how urban a place is.

Do women go further in general from home to college? My American mom left her Virginia farm to go all the way to Paris to study (for a Masters in French, granted, after a BA in nearby Fredericksburg). She met my dad there. He traveled a paltry 600km from his French rural town

Female beauty is universal. Male desirability in highly cultural (penis sheath vs BMW). The aversion to travel disappears when men get married though, as mate desirability is already established.

Here’s one where I would have thought the opposite. I’d have thought more males (and parents sending/paying) feel makes are safer in foreign/unfamiliar places than females. Although of course less males in college AND majors that do this sort of thing (non-STEM).

Young females left hominin groups and became the matriarchs of other groups. That’s where menopause came from.
