    Male loneliness epidemic doesn’t have anything to do with being single or not 🤦

    Why do you think they join extremist male organizations? It ain’t to get laid.

    That being said, if me being single is a byproduct of women collectively saying “fuck this conservative male bullshit,” by all means keep at it. I’m much happier with those men not reproducing.

    Edit: alright I’m starting to think my post did not convey the message I intended.

    I am ok being single if conservative men are not reproducing. The rest of it remains unchanged. It does not have to do with being single or not.

      The right wing routinely try to co-opt terminology and twist it to their uses. You’ve fallen for this again by assuming every mention of a term is actually the twisted propoganda version.

        So, wait I’m really confused.

        The twisted propaganda term is used for men not getting laid.

        The actual problem is men having a distinct lack of social support.

        I must not understand this meme then.

        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.
