The Hidden Costs of Men's Social Isolation
Briefly

Men face notable struggles in forming and sustaining friendships, leading to increased social isolation. Their challenges in achieving higher education and facing mental health issues, including stark suicide rates, indicate a broader societal concern. These problems not only impact men but also extend to women, who often bear the weight of supporting men's social networks. Researchers suggest that as men's social worlds diminish, the repercussions are felt in their relationships with women, making it crucial to address these issues in a more interconnected way.

The decline in men's social networks adds strain not only on men but also on the women in their lives, underscoring the interconnectedness of these issues.
