Why is it uncommon to male when it comes to uti?

Urethral length: It is very hard for organisms to travel up the urethra in a male. The urethra runs from the bladder to the end of the penis.It is also not surrounded by tissues that can normally harbor organisms like the female urethra, which is also so much shorter in lenght.
