Man being always mated to woman is not

It has just occurred to me that perhaps a major reason why the humanitarian principle of every mature (eg physically adult) man being always mated to woman is not a working principle in society, is that it is not just who dates and marries whom, but also just having a date or mate or loving partner is a key prestige item, a mark of superiority of who is better than whom, like the more base "pecking order" phenomenon. Therefore if some men have to do without a woman, it is "proof" that the men who have a woman is superior to the man without a woman, an upsmanship ego hierarchical thing. Thus it is a social force, and clearly reality shows it is more powerful a force than the ancient biblical writing re God's declaration that it is not good for a man to be alone without a woman.
