depends what community you are in. Can point to plenty of orthodox synagouges (especially those with large single populations) that get large numbers of both men and women to all services.
and being a single guy, I've hosted many a meal where I did the cooking, table setting and cleaning. (though in practice at these meals, there is also a pot luck nature to them and many times there's a whole system where your friends come over help you set the table and then help clean up and throw everything away all the trash after the meal, collecting silverware, wrapping up the plastic table cloth cover with all the crumbs/spills on it).
