Why are so many men struggling to connect today? And what does that mean if you’re trying to date and have relationships with men? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Greg Matos, psychologist and author of the viral article “What’s Behind The Rise of Lonely, Single Men,” to explore the shifting relationship standards, changing gender roles, and the widespread lack of skills—like emotional literacy and communication—that are essential for building and sustaining meaningful connections. We dive into the underlying patterns driving loneliness, practical insights on taking responsibility, and strategies to improve connection, communication, and relational competence—no matter your relationship status, gender or sexuality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why loneliness is on the rise and how it intersects with gender and social norms

• How outdated relationship expectations create unfulfilled connections

• The skills deficit in communication, emotional literacy, and relational competance

• How to take responsibility and foster personal growth in relationships

• Strategist for building healthier, more connected partnerships
