I think there’s a loneliness epidemic across men and women in general. Women are just more socialized and are able to cope with it better than average.

Male loneliness is often self-inflicted, but I’ve also noticed that miserable men like to put down other men. I watched a documentary on incels and all 5 men thought it was cause they’re ugly and unlovable. None of them were ugly, just extremely introverted and unconfident all except 1. The “leader” of the group was an outspoken dickhead who obviously played on their insecurities. He’s alone cause he’s intolerable. They’re alone cause he doesn’t want them to succeed

No, it’s really not. The “male loneliness epidemic” isn’t about whether they’re in romantic or sexual relationships!! It’s about intimate social bonds, that includes close friendships. The number of men who don’t have close friendships is horrifying, if more men had the kinds of more intimate friendships that are more common amongst women they’d be a lot better off and this wouldn’t be a problem

I feel like the male loneliness epidemic is about all kinds of genuine social connections. But the main “victims” of the epidemic are men who refuse to make close friendships and call it gay, then task women with bearing the burden of all of their emotional needs, but also treat women terribly due to their misogyny. These men could have good relationships to others if they treated people around them well and valued nonsexual connection

Nah, there is a general loneliness epidemic and social media has really disrupted shit, men on average have less emotional resilience than women do so they’re more likely to handle it worse than us

We also have a hormonal advantage, just like men on average are stronger physically we are emotionally and mentally (there is research behind this)

Two things can be true. The “male loneliness epidemic” specifically is older than the general, which was largely causes by Covid. The MLE is based more in redpill alt-right communities believing that women are 1) objects and 2) something that men are inherently entitled to. Same guys that talk abt “friendzone” and “withholding sex” and whatnot

It IS, though, both in the way that #6 explained but also about their societal relationships to women. Viewing emotional availability as a feminine trait, and viewing femininity as a negative trait, is EXACTLY how it got here. They hate women, which makes them unable to connect with women, and they hate the idea of being similar to women, which makes them unable to connect with men.

I think that’s the biggest issue with the MLE, because the actual victims are the women who are being blamed and tasked with the burden and because the lack of meaningful nonsexual connection comes from sexism in the first place

I just found one on Hulu called The Secret World of Incels (2022), but there’s another one called Inside the Secret World of Incels listed on IMDB (2019). It looks pretty dark (I mean obviously, but I think I’d have to be in the right mindset to watch it).

I forgot to answer your comment, sorry. It’s been +10 years since I saw it and it was mainly available on YouTube at the time in my area. I can’t remember the name of it and YouTube is so flooded with incel garbage nowadays that the more I tried to find it, the badder the vids got. It’s one of the only ones I’ve seen that actually made sense. I do have an update tho. After that documentary, I heard that shortly after, the friend group disbanded cause of him and the others finally got partners

Same. That’s why I found that documentary so interesting. The dickhead was the one talking about how they’re victims and they’ll never be treated like everyone else while the others kinda agreed but sheepishly. They interviewed them 1 on 1 or in a group w/o him and they talked more openly. They didn’t really victimize themselves, but they were defeated & talked about their insecurities that had made them pull away from others. I heard that after the documentary came out, the group

kinda disbanded by dropping him from the friend group. I also heard they finally got girlfriends after dropping him as a friend and were doing better in life
