Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host Xochitl.
And Xochitl,
I'll let you introduce today's topic
because you had come up with that topic and it's very interesting.
Jack, I'm very excited to introduce the topic for today because I...
I'm curious about what our listeners from other countries think about this
if it's similar in their countries
Because it's really a cultural phenomenon that we're talking about in the Western world and especially the United States and I just want to know Is this happening in other parts of the world?
And what I want to talk about today is the male loneliness epidemic Yes,
and I guess the way I would define that my understanding from what I've seen on social media Which is mostly how you know,
I've come to see this term Utilized over and over again in social media format is the fact that Man,
I guess are feeling lonely and disconnected
because It's becoming less common for them to have romantic partners to be able to marry to be able to settle down to be able to have a long-term relationship And it seems like women are becoming less and less interested in getting involved with a man,
especially long term.
And especially
because things have changed drastically for women in the last 50 years even.
And it means that we can be financially independent now.
We have an education now, a higher level education as well.
There are more women.
