CBS Report on Male Loneliness

That was a perfectly nice video. Of course, dedicated men's retreats like in the video can be prohibitively pricey, but it's still good to see the issue talked about.

Im glad we're having this conversation on the news here in the US.

I am still considering making a thread here about how we could address this issue but perhaps in a politically neutral lens. The reason I believe in a neutral discussion because both the Left and Right have their thoughts, beliefs, and opinions on this topic but they don't necessarily have a solution.

When most human interaction involves working in a job you hate. Loneliness can be better

The problem with such reports is they can never get to the real problem because to do so is considered politcally incorrect.

They ignore sex and it is amazing that something that has become a fundamental identity for everyone else. Straight women, gay women and gay men. Is suddenly just treated as if it is trivial if you're talking about straight men.

Meetup groups are pointless for men who are lonely, if their loneliness is due to a lack of women in their lives. A poster on a previous thread nailed it, when they said they had tried such groups and they were just full of pensioners and lonely guys like himself. So he lost interest.

Basically I am saying life is about balance. Straight guys who have a sex drive are not got going to solve their problems with meet up groups for men.

I don't trust their coverage on male loneliness. Their coverage of male loneliness epidemic over the female loneliness epidemic seems a bit suspicious. It feels more like that feminists are doing this to feel good about themselves and don't want to admit their own faults. A lot of misandrist women see this and feel good about themselves. THey never acknowledge more real discriminatory issues like discrimination in education, hiring, colleges etc. Many feminists even like to believe that "women are leaving men behind" because they are genuinely better. In my experience with women, I believe that female loneliness epidemic is as worse as male loneliness epidemic if not worse. Just yesterday a woman I know commited suicide. Feminists won't talk about this because they know that this was caused by themselves. Feminism also doesn't like to talk about female victims of female predators in domestic abuse, sexual abuse etc because they know they have put a big chunk of women under the bus just to make criminal women more priveleged.

Another poster had a post on loneliness. He had an ominous warning towards the end:

Men can't fix male loneliness. Let's look at the scenerios:

Dudes in relationships try to make a lonely man feel better, except he can see they're all partners and probably hearing about their sex lives, y'know, by accident perhaps when someone forgets one of the guys is a virgin. Lonely man is going to feel awful he can't seem to meet whatever standard all these other guys have managed to without even thinking about it.

Lonely guy finds himself some friends whom are also lacking in relationship experience. What do you think they're going to talk about when it comes to finding a date?

The end result is the same - if a woman isn't saying yes to the lonely guy, he's still going to feel awful.

Women have to get involved, I'm sorry. When it comes to matters of relationships and sex, they don't get to sit this discussion out. Particularly if they care about how men solve the male loneliness problem.

And even if women's freedoms are not overruled by laws catering to lonely men's needs (which btw, governments and corporations would support to combat plummeting birthrates) in the future as the world seemingly marches towards oligarchial and/or theological authoritarianism, feminism will be outright outbred by cultures that do push women to marry and have children. There is no winning solution here that doesn't involve women working with men to solve the male loneliness epidemic.
