Remote work doesn't force you to stay in your house all week.
I work 100% remote with semi-flexible hours and a big part of this is the freedom to leave my house and do things during the day, like meet up with friends, or go exercise while the sun is out in winter etc.

That's nice for you.

You guys can go to office together, and leave the rest of us out of this?

You can still do that. My friend rented an office a five minute walk from his home - it costs him 3% of his salary.
Yes, I live near a large park. I walk/run there every day, but the point is, the routine of doing everything alone (walking, shopping, working, eating) starts grinding on you.

That's a completely different issue from remote vs in-person work. You should learn to be comfortable being alone/by yourself, especially as a man.
For many people I know this is the case, so I don't think pure remote or location work are "it".
