MODERATORS
It may not be a "loneliness epidemic" (at least not only for men) but imho there certainly is an issue with men having a hard time finding a positive relationship to their gender, and loneliness probably does play some part in it.
There was this one study that found that people have significantly fewer close friends than 30 years ago, and for men, the change was larger. I would call that a loneliness epidemic.
I don't mean loneliness in the sense of not having a romantic/sexual partner, I mean loneliness in the sense of feeling abandoned in a hyperindividualistic capitalist society.
Alienation?
Maybe social atomization?
i found the german term "vereinzelung" for this
vereinzelung führt zu vereinsamung
es gibt einen verlust an sozialem zusammenhalt.
