when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

While I fully agree there is a difference between "desperate for sex men" and "entitled to sex men", I would be willing to bet that one of the easiest groups to convert to the latter... is the former.

Not that I'm one to talk, I didn't fall down the pipeline during a decade long dry spell. So my anecdotal experience would lead me to believe there has to be other factors at play. But still, it's easier to tempt a hungry person to violence.
