For those who believe in the male loneliness epidemic why do some men address this towards women as if we are either part of the problem or we should be on top of this to help solve it?

People have a wide range of ideas about what a loneliness epidemic even means, so naturally some have weird ideas about how it should be “solved”. When I think about a loneliness epidemic, I mean the increase in how hard it is to form and maintain friendships and relationships, caused by a variety of ways that our communication has changed as a society. It affects everyone, although men on average seem to have a tougher time making close friends that we can be emotionally open with.

Both sides have bad eggs some people treat it like men should just man up and get over it or that they deserve it other side blames all women for it and end up seperating themselves futher that way.

Most men aren’t taught to take accountability as children, most of their actions have always been blamed on what a woman is or isn’t doing. (Ex. “Boys will be boys” “what was she wearing”) so they believe it too be a women’s problem. Cause they can’t fathom is being of their own accord.

Others (mostly incels) view it more as it being much harder to form romantic relationships. Still a societal issue, but they tend to frame it as social media and stuff causing women to have too high of standards, or disgust for all men, or otherwise splitting men and women apart. They probably expect you to “solve” it by lowering your standards, or not participating in men hate trends

How so?

Yeah, and I mean there is still a provider/protector stigma to be dealt with but most men aren’t taught like that anymore and also that has nothing to do with what I said about men not taking accountability, as you aren’t even taking accountability by blaming it on your age and how you grew up.

Well it used as harassment and letting kid boys do whatever they want to girls, but I do agree it should be about kids just being dumbasses

Ah, see I’m 21 and most men in my age aren’t responsible/taught how to be. Most of them are coddled (now a days) so it might’ve been diff back then for you. Especially the “mama’s boys” most just party, and laze around from what I’ve seen. I am not like them at all in that aspect.

Honestly probs, I’m from a small town and I only know a couple guys who can actually provide/ be responsible and most had to go through therapy first to get that way.
