    There is no male loneliness epidemic; there is a loneliness epidemic. They have been talking about it since at least 2020 and it predates the pandemic. Anyone calling it a male loneliness epidemic is absolutely engagement farming. The entire manosphere is a rage-bait-engagement-farming scam.

        no men have friends.

        and women have friends, but hate all of them and talk about how awful they are.

        which once is better off?

            studies tell us obesity is bad for us.

            and we keep getting fatter.

            almost as if people don’t listen to studies, and act on impulse and emotion…

      There’s a general loneliness epidemic, but there’s a difference between men and women.

      Not just engagement. Back when it was just a loneliness epidemic, there were talks of maybe bringing back third places, or changing society to help. Then it became a male epidemic, and suddenly it was someone else’s problem, it’s an individual issue, no need to make a cause of it.
