Totally agree @HarvestMoon1. The difference in social “norms” and support between girls and boys is amazing. Boys seem to find their spot in a hierarchy of the pack and stay there. Girls seem to constantly be rearranging the pack and friendships seem to come and go with much drama. Social media does not help, IMHO. I think you have hit on another reason for less men are choosing college. It is not their “place” in the pack.
