As it looks like the “Male Loneliness Epidemic” discourse is back in fashion… Men, what do y’all think is needed to change this trend and who would implement your idea?

There are large social trends behind this. We have a mental health epidemic affecting everyone, men tend to be less social than women on average which just exacerbates the mental health issues in an increasingly online culture. Men tend to follow through on suicide more often via shooting themselves too. Lot of cultural changes needed, late stage capitalism is destroying humanity

Starting with a feasibility analysis: A nationwide problem requires a solution that comes from the national level. That’s possible but unlikely, especially given how divided this country is. If this is a global problem, then it would require a global solution (which no single person/entity could realistically implement).

There needs to be more commons type activities for guys, but catered for guys. Places you can go to and just find likeminded people nearby like a coffee shop, but for men

What? A post not debating if it real? Or debating that it's all men's fault and not women's. This can't be real

I think between this and changing the culture around physicality in grade schools, we can make real positive changes.

Where do you expect people to learn where and when it’s appropriate to fight and how to handle that situation?

But no, fr, mandatory martial arts as part of our physical education in school would be great

Why not? We can let students pick the specific art between Taekwondo, Karate, BJJ, Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA (or whatever funding allows).

Bro the reason they’re able to preserve their super sayan genes is bc they don’t marry outsiders, if ppl come back here liking their distant cousins they’d just get diabetic children instead of fighting machines

No I agree op, it also teaches respect. Lots of ppl run their mouth bc they’ve never been in a fight or experienced actual physical rigor. Being forced to learn gives you skills, confidence, endorphins, better health, and respect
