See I do all these things but it doesn’t compare to the feeling of having a partner with you side by side going through life together. I think it’s because I had it and lost it rather than not having it at all.

I need good friends and / or a girlfriend. Friends in passing / you see at specific places are one thing. But having best friends as an adult who you interact with more than just pertaining to one thing (a club, group, etc) is hard. A girlfriend is just that same best friend but with a romantic element. What’s wrong with wanting a partner anyway? I guess guys should see it with more significance (you should wait for someone who you match with well instead of just any pretty girl) but still

Having a partner won’t fix it, and it’s unfair to them to go into the relationship hoping they will. Persistent loneliness is often the result of an underlying, more serious problem such as depression, in which the only people qualified to help are trained professionals, and sometimes even medication is required to help balance serotonin levels

Yes but both sex and romantic attachment are on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Neither of those things are explicitly mentioned on Maslow’s hierarchy… he calls for friendship and intimacy, which bros subjects and are neither explicitly romance nor sex (so get outta here with that aphobia)

Not necessarily. Intimacy, by definition, is a shared feeling of closeness with another individual. To some this sex can be an example, but there are many other ways in which humans are also capable of being intimate. Likewise, sex is not always considered a form of intimacy by everyone

Yes, they do! And they need it outside of romantic relationships. It used to be that guys would have more emotionally intimate friendships with each other like women do, most men don’t have those anymore
