Men may feel loneliness due to physiological or psychological factors. Combined with societal influences, this can lead them to seek marriage as a way to alleviate that loneliness.
Physiological Reasons
Men originate from the wombs of women and are raised by women.The presence of women gives their lives a profound connection, so even without love, they yearn for marriage and family. Yet when they grow too close to women, they develop fears—fears that their masculine dignity and strength might be melted away by feminine tenderness.They crave intimacy yet fear being overwhelmed by others' affection while still immature. Thus they remain reserved, guarded, and prefer to be alone rather than settle for less.
Men can be profound, towering, and powerful—like a great tree. But they cannot transform a single tree into a forest. Trees are inherently solitary; their very spirit demands maintaining sufficient distance from others.
Sociological Reasons
From infancy, they internalize the belief that "men must be strong," and the shadow of "fearing their own weakness" follows them throughout life. When contrasted with women, they can still feel their strength; yet alone, they lack the confidence to solidify that "strength," leading to anxiety, even fear.
When a man loses his guard against or aversion to a woman's closeness, it signifies he has pinned his hopes for alleviating loneliness on an intimate relationship—whether physical or emotional.
Thus, in times of peace, men and women wage war, and the home becomes the ultimate battlefield. Their weapons are not fists but willpower; neither side can fully subdue the other, creating the intriguing dynamic of gender relations.
