I go to a Church of England church in London but not many other men do. Why don't men want to go to church?

I minister in Japan, where few men go to church, as well. In addition to being overworked in general, the primary reason seems to be that it would be an outward show of dependence on something else than himself, an admission of weakness. As a result, many men only consider going to church once they have encountered serious difficulties to the extent of being counted among the socially vulnerable (e.g., becoming physically challenged and not able to work anymore). This results in actually strengthening the aforementioned perception by other men, since the churches have a greater percentage of socially vulnerable than their own circles. Churches who have strong male attendance and participation usually have very focused and comprehensive programs to that end. Though I have little information on churchgoers in London in particular, given the generally universal attitude of men regarding their own perceived superiority as a merit of their own existence, I would suppose this is a phenomenon which occurs basically anywhere.
