as someone who's sister just delivered a baby, I can tell you that the nurses and doctors there said that most men sit in the corner (if they even come at all) and act annoyed. most of the time, they don't seem interested in becoming a father. it's very sad to see.
Alright, I'm not calling those nurses liars, but humans are demonstrably and provably terrible at eyeballing percentages like that.
It's called confirmation bias. You get it in your head that a certain situation is likely to occur. Then, every time you encounter said situation your brain goes "aha, I knew it a", and every time the situation fails to occur your brain goes "well, of course there are exceptions". And, over time, you remember all the "aha" moments but minimize the exceptions.
