Why more men?

Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.

    George: Craig: When I'm swimming alone, I see an equal number of lap swimmers, I think. My own club has slightly more men than women. I think men feel less guilty about getting their exercise than women. As George says, women tend to think they are indispensible to their children's happiness. I know my mother never even thought of me as some one she needed to make happy. As a teenager, I only saw her occasionally during the summer time.
