The way men have always bonded.....

Via Shared Experience.

Public Service aka political, communal, military service etc

Religion and philosophical community.

Work and Business.

Sport and Sport community.

Clubs, associations and 3rd spaces aka pubs, beaches, game night, house parties etc.

Feminists have to stop hating men. Feminist hatred of men destroys anywhere they can go to be with other men and relentlessly polices their public existence. It tells them that attempting to ask a woman out is tantamount to attempted rape, then shames them for not having a sexual partner. Every time and every way in which a man can feel good about something, feminism actively seeks to destroy it, and the social power of feminism is unchecked.

So no, there's nothing feasible that can be done about it, because feminism will never stop hating men.

We need a mens only club. Men act different around women, its harder to bond as friends as we innately start competeing for women;s attention.

Sadly even boy scouts is gone now.

I dont consider a men's only club as oppression but many women disagree. But it might not be solvable without discrimination due to the difference in the genders

Two related things:

We need to stop the rhetoric that just because a man is single, he’s lonely and that he needs to be in a relationship and supporting a woman to feel fulfilled. Many men look at the biased nature of marriage and choose to stay single, realizing it will make them happier in the long run than marriage and divorce will.
Feeling socially fulfilled isn’t just about bring in a relationship with a woman. In fact, I’ve been in a relationship for about half a year and if anything, it’s reducing the male friends I connect with. Men need to seek out other men as friends and not buy into the propaganda that they need to be in a relationship or be lonely.

The idea men need support a woman to be happy and not lonely is a propaganda designed to benefit women, not men.

An easy one for the people who have that power, restrict the predator companies that pray off it. Flat out ban dating apps with a sexist component.

Bring back youth groups, keep sexes mixed.

Make misogyny = misandry in legal standing, and have a department in government for men and boys that’s job is to look after them and encourage them.

I think men only clubs where men are encouraged to do something together, such as community help or gardening or sports. We should encourage these explicitly for men to enjoy together.

We have to stop demonising "men only" things. Most women understand men hang with men and women with women. Just some weirdos have a problem with it. Those are the people that need to be addressed

Change the culture. That's it. Address systematic misandry, teach people how to recognize it and that it's not a joke. Address one-sided expectations in dating based on gender roles, where men are expected to put in all of the effort to pursue and women are considered the prize to be catered to. Address hypergamy and male objectification as success/status objects, simply by calling it out. Literally just teach women not to treat men like garbage. This isn't a fantasy or forcing dependence/companionship. It's just basic human decency and fairness.

Prevent feminists like you from closing male only clubs. https://www.vice.com/en/article/mens-clubs-are-dated-and-embarrassing-130/

Prevent feminists like you from blocking the creation of men clubs in universities : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/11670138/Why-are-our-universities-blocking-mens-societies.html

Replace the duluth model by a gender neutral one. Affirmative action women, draft them if needs be, into the top 20 most dangerous jobs until parity, the feminist ones first.

Reduce to zero govt. intervention into mens wallet during separations. Remove all alimony child support.

Cut all child tax benefits. Reduce to near.zero safety nets for abled bodies. 50/50 custody by default.

It is time society realises men are separated from their children and families by the proxy violence of govt. based on lies about d.v.

They are milked by high taxes and the family courts, segrated away, forced to pay for their famillies that they never see and left penniless!

I think the very first place to start would be to destroy the idea that men are natural competitors. It has been shown over and over again that collaboration leads to more profitable outcome than competition. Literally no one on this planet can do it alone.

Second thing to go after should be destroying any pre-conceived notions of what a man should or shouldn't be. Let a man be whoever he wants within the confines of a law abiding society.

Third, shun those men who ridicule other men for not being "man enough". These guys are so stubborn that re-educating them is unlikely to work. Best thing to do is to just ignore them until they learn better themselves.

I believe these are pre-cursors and root causes to the involuntary loneliness experienced by men.

No-Knowledge-8867 · 2025-06-11T07:42:32+00:00

I have a theory that the majority of male loneliness is simply male societal exclusion and lack of acceptance. I think if society shifted its views away from misandry to the extent it does with misogyny, a lot of the problem would begin to resolve itself. If social media companies (in particular) and other medias started moderating misandry, a lot would start to change.

Get off social media. Work on yourself. Take every opportunity to grow into a healthier person and develop socially.

This is something that every man needs to do for himself. Changing the world is a pipe dream. But we can change ourselves. We can each decide to seek out and foster relationships. We can each decide to develop ourselves into someone that other people find attractive. It's on us to adapt to the world and do what's best for us, we are all we can truly rely on.
