Lonely people need all sorts of help. Sometimes just having someone to talk to is enough. Plus, a lot of men have a hard time asking for help, especially for something as “unmanly” as loneliness. This can make someone offering help significantly more effective. Additionally, for a number of people, it’s just easier to open up to someone of the same sex.
Yes, I was trying to be ambiguous with my statement since one of the definitions of the loneliness is men thinking they’re owed sex, and since women surely don’t owe them sex, other men are the only other logical option (which is indeed ridiculous)
But I was also meaning that men are way too unsupportive and closed off with each other, and those who have the capacity would do the world a favor by being there as best we can for other men since the evidence seems to show we’ve been failing at this
Absolutely don’t put that on women, but it is a mental illness so you can’t ask them to get their shit together they need help.
mental illness is when you have actual disorder that is diagnosed bya proper physician, lonely is a mental illness
other men need to step in to provide the help they need
Being the same sex as someone who needs help with mental health doesn’t magically make you a qualified therapist/psychiatrist for them.
This is a ridiculous statement.
