Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Ok let’s not pretend that the specific term “male lonliness epidemic” doesn’t specifically mean that low-effort men are pissed that women have standards now and are finally able to follow-through by way of having enough money to stay single. If people are using that term it refers to thay situation and you can’t spin your way out of it.
What you said is generally correct but it’s still their fault. I’m a man who, while unemployed at the moment, has consistently been able to make new friends and have new experiences while having a career. Men are stopping themselves from having new experiences that would lead to making new friends. Worse still, many of the people in North America who are experiencing these issues and crying about it are the same ones who blindly follow the white picket fence path and are confused at why their overly expensive, isolated suburban home makes them broke and leaves them isolated from social activities. I know a lot of men here in the city who are having a fine time because they’re actually interesting people who do stuff, and who put themselves in situations where stuff happens.
Our cities are built like shit and the men don’t fucking try. Then they bitch and moan that people don’t just drop out of the sky because their whole life they’ve been brought up on some complete nonsense and can’t reconcile the fact that they were lied to.
What a disgusting person you are.
Why? Because there are a bunch of people who do the bare fucking minimum and expect women and friends to fall out of the sky? I was going to say “low-quality” but decided that I didn’t like the connotation of that. “Low-effort” instead gives people a chance to put some effort in themselves.
Cry about it, I guess.
