This does not dispel the loneliness epidemic. People are still gonna choose bad partners regardless of what he says. At least half of that 40% (increasing btw) that aren’t approaching now days are the type of guys that support women and only feel like they’d be bothering them if they approached

I think the concept of a male loneliness epidemic is lost on me, because statistically a similar number of women should be dealing with their own loneliness epidemic. But they’re not, because you can be single and not lonely. You can make friends, spend time with family, enjoy time alone, etc.

Literally the most absurd and ridiculous take I have heard all week. The entire thing is a half-baked attempt at a subtle brag about his success with women. This is a male pickme. By his logic, women weren’t being oppressed, they were just naturally selected against by being physically weaker.

I don’t think dudes not getting women is comparable at all to cancer lol

They are comparable in that, according to his argument’s use of bioessentialist logic, both can be attributed to natural selection.

I guess your statistics forgot that multiple women can be fucking the same guy

I’m talking about dating, not hooking up. This is coming from a place of finding happiness in just spending time with friends and not worrying about sex. I honestly don’t feel like hookups help long term with loneliness anyways, it’s just a temporary space filler

So this is a male lack-of-sex epidemic? I’m trying to convey the fact that loneliness isn’t solved by sex alone. The bigger components of that solution are deeper bonds, whether that be with friends, family, or a romantic partner. I think it’s too broad to call it a loneliness epidemic if we’re narrowing it down to a lack of sex. All the sex in the world never fixed my need for friends, social interaction, and bonds

For the record, I agree with your point about it being possible to be single without being lonely, I just think that only gets a person so far.

I definitely get that. I guess I just wasn’t feeling that loneliness quite as much when I was single but strengthening relationships with my friends, instead of focusing on ways to not be single. Obviously, that’s just me. But most of my friends are also chronically single and so we just hang out together more often. I think I’m trying to say the loneliness doesn’t consume me anymore with all that going on

No, it’s not just lack of sex, the lack of sex is a symptom of men being socially isolated to a degree far beyond the point of healthy “alone time”

Well yeah it’s exactly true in nature, the most desirable males get more women. People forget we’re all animals in the end. Even the most progressive feminist women I know only end up with the tall sandy haired white guys lol. What has changed now is women have more choice and if you are not the choice they are making then ur clearly doing smth wrong. The incels today would have been the pressured marriages 100 years ago

Ur final statement is just incorrect. People who fail in dating do not inherently mean they are “wrong”
