329. The psychology of the male loneliness epidemic

In this episode of "The Psychology of Your 20s," Jemma addresses the controversial topic of the male loneliness epidemic, distinguishing it from the general loneliness epidemic. She argues that while loneliness is a serious issue, the claim that men are the loneliest gender is not supported by research, which indicates women report higher levels of loneliness. Jemma contends that the framing of male loneliness often shifts blame onto women for men's lack of romantic success, rather than addressing deeper issues like vulnerability, mental health, and societal expectations. She encourages listeners to approach the topic with an open mind, promotes healthy male role models, and suggests practical solutions for combating loneliness, such as building communities, fostering platonic friendships, and openly discussing mental health.
