![]() Why is that? Well, the Hill quotes Richard Reeves, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of the book Of Boys and Men, who explains that “men are less naturally relational than women”. Only 21% of men, for example, said they received emotional support from a friend within the past week, compared to 41% of women, according to a 2021 survey. I think that rather than focusing on young men being single, the real problem is the fact that men don’t have friends. Is that really true though? I’m not denying that there’s a serious and worrying epidemic of loneliness among young American men, but you don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy. It’s probably hard to overstate how serious this problem is.” As a result, 60% of young men are single and lonely. Seth Dillon, for example, the founder of the conservative satire site the Babylon Bee, tweeted: “Young women are dating each other or older men in record numbers. While we may never solve the mystery behind the relationship gap, there’s been a lot of handwringing about these numbers, mainly from conservative circles who take it as evidence that feminism and the modern world (particularly porn) has emasculated young men. (The Pew definition of single is “those who are not married, living with a partner, or in a committed relationship”.) Another issue potentially feeding into the data discrepancy is the fact that that there could be gendered differences in how people define a “committed relationship”. Another, rather overblown, theory is that the Gay Agenda is working and, considering one-fifth of Gen Z identifies as queer, all the young women are dating each other. Nobody seems entirely sure what the reason for the giant relationship gap is but the most popular theory is that young women are more likely to be dating older men. ![]() Who are all the young women dating? Pete Davidson? West Elm Caleb? Most young women are not.” A screenshot of that article then went viral because, well, those numbers don’t really make much sense, do they? Unlike China and India, where men outnumber women by 70 million, there are about the same number of young men as women in the US. This caught the attention of someone at the Hill, who wrote an article headlined: “Most young men are single. Before we delve deeper into the sexual life of the American male, I’d just like to point out that the Pew Research study was actually conducted last summer but they republished the findings in a Valentine’s Day listicle. ![]()
