Lonely Men ...
-
Data from the Survey Center on American Life revealed 15% of men said they didn’t have “close friends” in 2021, compared with only 3% in 1990 while those reporting 10 or more close friends had decreased from 33% to 13% during the same period.
... figures in Australia seem to be following the US pattern, with studies from 2020 showing similar implications: “men who reported lacking close friends or relatives were around twice as likely to have thought about suicide in the past 12 months”. ...
... 25% of US boys and men aged 15 to 35 reported “feeling lonely for a lot of the previous day” as per a recent Gallup poll.
So ... uhm ... wanna be close friends?
