To be fair, I don’t think there is necessarily a gender-based truism to this.
I think what you’re describing is how sometimes our expectations differ from our partners.
One person is more attached to the new love feelings and often variety of activities you often see in newer relationships, whereas the other person is more settled, possibly not contributing as much.
This winds up leading to boredom and/or feelings of being taken for granted for the more pursuant party involved.
