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

Hope I'm not overstepping as a mom lurker. Based on what I've heard from my 25, white, low income brother in rural OH on the loneliness in his social circle, the reason lonely men are an issue that keeps getting attention compared to loneliness in other groups (women, blacks, etc.) is because of the trend that lonely white men turn to toxic groups to fill that emotional gap. Incels. Red pill. MAGA. It's a *white, low income* male loneliness *epidemic* because it affects everyone when they get violent or vote for harmful policies.
