The man's way is to pursue a woman, but the woman's way is not to pursue a man

The man's way is to pursue a woman, but the woman's way is not to pursue a man

It is more acceptable to see a man returning after a woman than a woman returning after a man.

("Why does the Torah say (Deuteronomy 22) 'When a man takes a woman,' and not write 'when a woman takes a man'? Because the man's way is to pursue a woman, and there is no way for the woman to pursue a man. A parable: for a man who has lost a lost object, who pursues whom? The owner of the lost object pursues his lost object." - Kiddushin 2b)

("מִפְּנֵי מָה אָמְרָה תּוֹרָה (דְּבָרִים כב) כִּי יִקַּח אִישׁ אִשָּׁה, וְלֹא כָּתַב כִּי תִּלָּקַח אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ? מִפְּנֵי שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ שֶׁל אִישׁ לְחַזֵּר עַל אִשָּׁה, וְאֵין דַּרְכָּהּ שֶׁל אִשָּׁה לְחַזֵּר עַל אִישׁ. מָשָׁל, לְאָדָם שֶׁאָבְדָה לוֹ אֲבֵדָה, מִי חוֹזֵר עַל מִי? בַּעַל אֲבֵדָה מְחַזֵּר עַל אֲבֵדָתוֹ"- קִדּוּשִׁין ב ע"ב)
