Rather than men "being men" and quitting, it may have something to do with the fact that there are so many women. I doubt any man would NOT feel self-conscious doing some kind of sword-dance in a room full of women.

Same reasons most men don't attend aerobics classes. My wife has dragged me to a couple, and I didn't enjoy them. It didn't have anything to do with the women being tougher or more persistant than me, it's just a matter of taste. I'd rather just go for a run or go lift. Also the weight-lifting sections of these classes are useless for men. 40 reps with a 10 lb dumbbell is just making you tired, it ain't making you stronger.
