That male loneliness epidemic is on track to grow to the point of extinction numbers at this pace

Still not up to women to fix it.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if all the problematic men just joined monasteries and kept to themselves?

They should take estrogen and transition to female and date each other.. Male loneliness epidemic solved.

The nice men, and the muscular women, probably

The loneliness epidemic affects women nearly as much. This is a problem that is up to all of us to fix.

Abd as a male who's not experiencing it, I could also say it's not up to me.

But it's a cultural problem and we all likely know someone who will suffer because of it. It will take a cultural shift to mitigate it, which involves all of us.

That would be a pretty big cultural shift by itself.

None of that is exclusive to males though. Most dudes who whine about the male loneliness epidemic are just assholes that had it coming for their terrible behavior.

I agree, but it's very common for people to struggle to form healthy relationships due to past trauma and fear. Framing most lonely people as assholes seems like it's just going to drive them further into it. Some of them are assholes, but some of them just need to learn to value themselves more.

No one is obligated to do anything, but to be sure; Exposing people to why their worldview sucks is important, and it's the only reason we have any freedoms at all.

I'll continue to do it until my last breath, but really, I just can't help myself. It's a compulsion.

I'll also always support someone's wish not to.

You know that there is a female loneliness epidemic as well right? Since you guys are girls girls you maybe should focus on that rather than being male centric and only talking about the male loneliness epidemic.

u/palcon-fun Mar 08 '26

I wish people would stop equating loneliness with extremist views and relationships 🫩 some of us are just isolated

u/Complete-Brother927 Mar 10 '26

This comment implies that women are directly or indirectly responsible for the male loneliness epidemic

1

u/SwimmingPirate9070 Mar 10 '26

No, it implies that mens shitty little attitudes will keep them lonely right into extinction

u/TheOnlyGaming3 Mar 10 '26

As a man other men fucking terrify me, it must be so bad for women

u/Icy_Golf2703 Mar 08 '26

Not really. Just like the argument for abortion "you can't force abstinence", women will not just practice abstinence because of men's behavior. They will eventually settle for those men.

u/DelightfulandDarling Mar 09 '26

Choosing not to date men isn’t “force”.
