I think it'd be interesting to see this data split by gender as well as by age cohort. I think we'd find that men juncture towards spending time alone sooner than women, and that they start out with a higher level of being alone. Those are just my assumptions though.
- inanutshellus 6y agoI'm also surprised they didn't call out gender. From everything I've read, men are increasingly isolated as they age, whereas women tend to cluster together. This also has been linked to higher-by-gender suicides for isolated men. <chagrin>Granted, I guess if you're dead you don't have to worry about showing up in the list and skewing the graph inconveniently.</chagrin>

I feel like I am also much more social than my wife is. I guess there may be trends by gender, but I'd guess it's not nearly so clear cut.
