I find it interesting that men seem to be at the polar ends of the friendship spectrum. When lonely, they are the most lonely, and also when they have friendship claim higher levels of trust in those relationships than women would.

Women who express feelings of loneliness tend to have more human connections than men expressing similar feelings.

Women claiming to have good friendships still do not indicate high levels of trust like men reporting that they have good friendships.

I wonder why though?

It’s like men are either destined to be lone wolves or a tight knit squad.

There's a difference between feeling lonely and actually being lonely.

Might be another aspect to gather more information for the ongoing research into the variability hypothesis [1].
