When I was a child, I used to think that the music and

other voices somehow lived inside the radio and TV. Then when I got a bit
older, I came to understand that they sent out their broadcasts from a
studio, a building that was some distance away. Since I had seen
television shows like Ed Sullivan, with musicians playing their songs, I
knew that they had instruments and equipment, but I was puzzled about how
they could change so quickly from one group to another. My theory was that
they must have several different rooms, and that some music group would be
playing in one room while another would be setting up in another, and so
on.
This is exactly why women tend to humanize us lonely bachelors, and make
them presentable in public, and to brighten up a home; it has something to
do with that tendency. The world would be a very dull place without a
little irrationality to make us bounce through life, rather than scraping
along, in deadly seriousness, freed from superstiton, but weighed down by
the irresistible force of gravity.
I would say it is simply pragmatics over mother instinct - it's just
nature - be it "God made us so" or Nature or Evolution.
