Women and men are roughly equal in number. If more men are alone, then more women should be alone too.

If there's a "male loneliness epidemic," it might mean one of these things:

- There's no female loneliness epidemic because some men have multiple female partners (unlikely)

- Women might be alone but aren't bothered by it—they don't feel lonely (unlikely)

- More and more women are becoming homosexual, while less and less men become homosexual (unlikely)

So, why do only men complain about being lonely?
