To think male loneliness is exaggerated online?

[ForPoisedKhakiViewer]

It’s always “men have no friends!” but the loudest complainers are often emotionally stunted, entitled or just difficult people. It’s not always society’s fault. Sometimes they’re just not that nice.

No I don't. I think there are a lot of very, very lonely men out there.

I think it's who is to blame for their loneliness that's where they go away with the fairies.

There are a lot of lonely people. As a society, yes we are too insular and too self absorbed. Loneliness is bad, no matter who is experiencing it.

A subset of lonely men are being used by external sources to turn them into vengeful, violent men who feel entitled to be the centre of everyone else’s worlds. When they aren’t the centre of everyone else’s worlds, they react violently. So violently that they take life. Usually the lives of women and children. As a society, we allow these external sources to use these men, we have created the systems that celebrate these sources. When women and children die because of men’s loneliness, yes we have a society problem.

How do you know that the loudest complainers are often emotionally stunted, entitled or just difficult people? Is it a fact?

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 40. That's a lot of men who don't think they have anyone to talk to.

male friendships are very different to female. Females seem to have closer bonds and the ability to open up.and share anything. Men, especially older men don't have this, sharing is seen as a sign of weakness which they have been programmed not to be.

It's not a male loneliness epidemic, it's a male consequence epidemic.

I'll start worrying about it when the centuries of shit women are still dealing with is sorted.

It’s not a scientific fact - more an observation from the kind of content and commentary that tends to go viral or dominate certain spaces online. I’m not denying that male loneliness exists or that it can be painful. But I do think some of the loudest voices skew toward blame and bitterness rather than self-awareness or change and that can make it hard to separate real vulnerability from entitlement.

If you consider that the loudest complainers are probably a tiny percentage of those actually affected, you have it the wrong way round. In reality it's a bigger problem than you think.

I’m not sure it really matters if someone is feeling lonely, desperate or even suicidal.

You don’t know if they have good reason to feel bitter.

I don’t see this stuff online, not sure where or why you’re seeing it but stop looking if you don’t want to see it.

You clearly hang out on quite weird parts of the internet. What you’re describing is by no means mainstream content.

I couldn’t disagree with you more OP.
