22:06Now PlayingWe're back with "All the Lonely People," a series diving deep into how loneliness shows up in our lives.
This weekis the men's loneliness epidemic overblown? There's been a lot more attention on loneliness in the past few years, with special attention on men's loneliness. And some men definitely are lonelyaccording to a recent Pew survey () , 16% of men say they're lonely all or most of the time. But so are 15% of women. So why are we so concerned about men? What launched the narrative about men's particular loneliness? And if the problems men are having don't boil down to loneliness, what do they boil down to? Brittany is joined by Vox senior reporter Allie Volpe () and Harris Sockel () , writer and content lead at Medium, to break it all down.
