It's not. It's actual loneliness. Not having regular social activities, not having support systems in place for their frustrations. Not being close to family, not having anyone to help them when they get sick. Plenty of lonely people are getting laid, but they still lack all that support.
No sexual activity as part of lack of normal and healthy social life is part of loneliness. Lack of intimacy and closeness is pretty bad to people.
Yes I'm not arguing that. But it's only one aspect. There are more criteria to it.
Otherwise it seems as though people are arguing it's inevitable that single men will remain single - and more men will isolate, and choose between suicide and radicalization. This is not true if the remaining social support is in place.
I understand this. I really do. I'm having just as hard of a time getting any dates as anyone else. I'm sexually and romantically frustrated as all hell. I understand the draw of the manosphere. But the disease that is spreading isnt because of the lack of that sex or romance.
I did specifically say it might be part of it though.
