I don’t quite understand why a college-aged male would feel the need to go to an all-male college though.

It has been explained to you.
It’s still a terrible explanation. I’m sure a man going to a male-college because Mom neglected him would also be called out as a really weird and irrational decision that (in your mind) wouldn’t justify the existence of all-male colleges.
