I think there is just a loneliness epidemic in general but especially for guys, honestly though if you really are trying to make connections and get to know people u can it’s just effort

I've seen some data that says it's just a loneliness epidemic, but honestly I'm glad people talk about it cause I feel like guys are normally more reserved about their struggles so if it gives us an outlet than whatever?

It’s 100% real. i think it comes from men being taught to hide their emotions. Ultimately leading to the feeling that one is alone.

People often use two different conflicting definitions. The first is about how modern society and technology makes it easier to connect on a superficial level and harder to make really good friends. It’s also about how expectations of “being a man” involve hiding emotions and working hard. The second is the more incel-y “women don’t like men anymore and getting a girlfriend is impossible”. Lots of people attack it because of the second, without realizing that the first is a legitimate concern.
