We're back with "All the Lonely People," a series diving deep into
how loneliness shows up in our lives.

This week: is 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
lonely: according 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.
