American psychologist Greg Mattos wrote in a recent article in Physiology Today that the current emotional state of young and middle-aged men shows that they need to address their lack of skills..

He said: “I hear frequent dating issues from women between the ages of 25 and 45 that they prefer men who have good communication skills, and share the same values, yet he claimed to have found that the biggest problem for modern men is communication, which is the lifeblood of healthy, long-term love.” .

This comes at a time when data showed that dating applications are more used by men, who represent 62% of users, and figures collected in the United States in 2019 showed that the number of men is greater than women.

Dr Matos said society is failing to teach young boys the importance of communication, which has inadvertently increased the number of single men..
