That had never occurred to me, but...I think you are on to something there.
I do agree with the verbal vs. visual thing, though. Dr. Jordan Peterson said that something like 80% of the users of YouTube are male...from their statistics, I think. I get that. It is why pornography is also primarily (though not exclusively) a male thing.
And why Hallmark-type movies are primarily a female thing. It's about the verbal stuff. The movie ends when the man says, "I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Then, the final scene is their first kiss. Women love that stuff. Maybe not all women, but many do.
