I also have a lot of women and non-binary friends who have opened up to me about dealing with loneliness and many of them have felt they can't talk about it because of people saying things like this which breaks my heart, and I think that's wrong

This is incorrect though, all the research we've had so far has indicated loneliness is a universal experience that goes beyond our demographics. All of us are susceptible to feeling lonely if we lack support or are going through difficult things. It's wrong to believe it can affect men more than people who aren't men

This doesn't mean men experience loneliness differently from women or non-binary people though and that's what people who argue this exists often say. As beaver said well, the ways men and women experience loneliness when they feel lonely are the same. Also, the kinda stats you show are often taken out of context

For example, look at this which shows that Americans report feeling loneliness pretty equally regardless of their gender. The biggest differentiation in experiencing loneliness is age (https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2025/01/16/men-women-and-social-connections/)

You're completely right. It's wrong and sexist to act like men are the only ones to experience loneliness or to argue they feel it stronger. People of all genders can experience loneliness when life is hard

I don't think you looked at the research I shared with you, it found loneliness affects younger women as frequently as younger men too. Either way, it's not helpful to relate loneliness to gender because doing so ignores people who experience loneliness who aren't that gender. Everyone can experience loneliness, we should be addressing all people experiencing loneliness and trying to make that better, not only caring about men who experience it.

I also should have mentioned this in earlier comments: it's misogynists who try to argue men experience loneliness at rates higher than women and try to gender loneliness. I encourage you to read about the ways many women experience it too because it's something universal and not related to gender

I looked at yours, but you're ignoring the fact that data like this is cherry picked. It's wrong and sexist to act like loneliness is something gendered when it's a human experience. It is hurtful towards women who experience it and aren't able to get support, so we should stop viewing it as something only men can experience and focus on helping everyone who is going through loneliness

that’s american men versus men in other countries… not even what we are talking about

You cherry picked because the article you cited is focused on how men in the US are experiencing loneliness higher than other countries in the OECD specifically. The data indicates that gender wise, men and women experience loneliness at similar levels Either way, I don't know why you seem to be so upset that I want to advocate for supporting women who experience loneliness like men who do too. Everyone can experience loneliness so we should care about anyone experiencing it

Unfortunately, I think User 2 is a misogynist/manosphere guy because in the thread where he and I have been talking, he's been repeating a lot of misogynistic talking points and keeps pushing back at me when I say we should care about both men and women who experience loneliness. Hopefully he sees he is being sexist and changes his ways, but I have a feeling he's gonna keep saying misogynistic stuff on here
