Are Men Actually More Lonely Than Ever?

I think you are only half right. I believe people in general are more lonely than ever. People today are so connected via social media - yet in real life, things are very different. Just found this on some research page.

Who is lonely?​

Twenty-one percent of adults in the survey reported that they had serious feelings of loneliness.

Age (Hint: it is not what you might expect.)​

  • People between 30-44 years of age were the loneliest group — 29% of people in this age range said they were “frequently” or “always” lonely
  • Among 18–29-year-olds — the rate was 24%
  • For 45–64-year-olds, the rate was 20%
  • Adults aged 65 and older reported the lowest rate: 10% felt lonely

Racial and gender identity​

There were no real gender differences found — men and women experienced similar rates of loneliness — nor were there major differences based on political ideology or race or ethnicity. However, adults with more than one racial identity had much higher levels of loneliness: 42% in this category reported they were lonely.

Income and education​

There were notable differences between income but not education levels. Americans earning less than $30,000 a year were the loneliest — 29% in this category reported feeling lonely, while 19% of Americans earning between $50,000-100,000, and 18% of those making more than $100,000 a year said they were lonely.
