One explanation of men's seemingly anti-social behavior is that they are more comfortable when social efforts revolve around activities and interests. When two men get into an initial discussion, they seek to find out if they have a common interest. Unlike women who seek to learn everything about the individual, men seek to learn if there is a common activity enjoyed between them in order to further their discussion. Men are beginning to warm up to online social groups that have organized group activities rather than online social networks where the purpose is to meet "virtual" people. But, as baby boomers get older, and have free time, they are more interested in their well being and activities that promote well being. Social groups that promote activities such as, hiking, fishing, hunting, bowling, etc. are very specific and attract the male population. More and more online social groups are being formed because of their interest to the aging population.
