Why do men try to stay away from travel?

“Ask any woman why they do most of their travel on their own and you’ll hear endless theories,” author Sarah Balaban wrote in a 2023 article. “Men are skeptical of group travel, seeing it as a money issue and not wanting to plan or don’t know where to start, but also because they don’t know where to start.” “They have responsibilities etc. and a lot of excuses and the list goes on.”

But overall, the “travel gap” between men and women appears not to be driven by a financial gap. Although inequality has been decreasing over time, women earned on average 17 percent less than men in 2022. The inequality is even greater when it comes to assets rather than income. A 2021 data study of young professionals by Earnest found that men have more than twice the net worth of women.

‘Women love exploring, men love their home’

Both sets of statistics show that women are overcoming financial obstacles to satisfy their passion for travel. But neither explains why men who can afford it don’t travel as much as women.

Women’s Travel Group’s “Why Don’t Husbands Travel?” As he stated in his article titled. “Don’t take it personally, men travel less than women, and men don’t frequent exotic destinations as much as women. Statistically, men like to return to places they love, while women prefer new adventures.”

A Road Scholar blogger wrote a post titled “Eight Reasons I Travel Without My Husband,” which includes going places she wants to go (and her husband hasn’t), meeting new female friends, and learning more about herself.

Another said, “He doesn’t want to be away from his computer and his dogs. Solo travel is good for marriage. We’ve been married for 56 years!!!” he recorded his words.

Other reasons why women travel alone, according to Road Scholar:
