American psychologist Greg Matos says the number of lonely men is increasing.

Being single is great, and there are many upsides to it. However, after some time, you may start to feel lonely because you're missing that important person in your life. You don't have to be in a relationship to be happy, but studies have shown that men are typically happier and healthier when they are in a relationship.
