View submission: Men, Women and Social Connections - Roughly equal shares of U.S. men and women say they’re often lonely; women are more likely to reach out to a wider network for emotional support

Pew research is great, and the more information we have the better. It wouldn't be very surprising if the "loneliness epidemic" is real that it would be more about how men handle feelings of loneliness and get trapped by cultural and societal structures. A roughly equal share saying they are lonely begs questions about what loneliness means and how its expressed and handled. The difference in reaching out or having a support structure might very well be the core of the "loneliness epidemic".

At least anecdotally the type of "black pill" male - hopeless, touch starved, sexless, friendless, strong feelings of being useless, etc. Is a very real and gendered phenomenon worth further studies.
