Very insightful. Men are victims of a friendship recession, as Richard.V Reeves explains:
"Men have fewer friends than women, and are at greater risk of isolation. The gap has widened in recent years. A 2021 report from the Survey Centre on American Life identified a male friendship recession, with 15% of men saying they have no close friends, up from 3% in 1990. Unsurprisingly, these are also the men who are most likely to report feeling lonely." - Of Boys and Men.

I'm a big fan of Richard Reeves and think his policy work and crucial. Hoping I can get him. for an interview soon. Thanks for highlighting this!
That would be excellent. I'll look out for it.
