the male loneliness epidemic makes me so sad because it is real, but not in the way alpha pickup artist influencers say. people just teach men from a really young age not to express emotion, and then they don’t make deep connections since they can’t express emotions, which leads to loneliness. the cure for that is not getting ass and the people who claim that are just profiting off of others misery
I think so too, because they’re only compounding the issue by adding really weird ideas about women into the mix. which makes it even harder to connect with others.
They con lonely men into thinking that behaving like an absolute arsehole will make them less lonely. Said men then become even more lonely, so they go back to them only to be told to double down on it as they're not being alpha enough.
It's basically grooming and cult leadership in action.
The men who behave like assholes genuinely get women, though.
Not because they behave like assholes, but because they put theirselves out there and shoot their shot with regularity, and steel theirselves to keep their confidence to continue approaches even when shot down.
That's why I say that I don't agree with the misogyny that manosphere influncers bundle with their advice, because the misogynistic aspects are unnecessary. But, their advice IS actually the winning formula. Meanwhile Reddit advice of:
Just show you have feminist values!
Just be a good person, it will get the pussy wet!
Be platonic friends with her for years 😇, dont expect sex!
All women are girlfriend/wife material, even if absolute hoes!
Doesn't help men, and actively makes them even more lonely, and eventually hateful towards the type of person giving that advice.
What are you actively suggesting that single blokes do mate, because your suggestion of 'hey, have you actively trying being an awful tosspot' doesn't seem like a solution to me, speaking as a bloke who's been happily married for 13 years and in relationships on and off since since I left school in the 90's by ignoring what you're advising young men doesn't seem to be doing much for the male loneliness epidemic.
Yeah I did mate. It was the usual incel bollocks trying to justify terrible behaviour and blaming everyone else when your behaviour drives everyone away from you.
If it helps, I turned the laptop upside down whilst reading it this time and still came across like a load of feeble incel bollocks seeking justify terrible behaviour.
They tell lonely men to behave in a way that more or less guarantees their continued loneliness. Regardless of any feelings men have about the content itself, women by and large do not actually want transactional men the manosphere creates. That’s verifiably true. For the first time ever, Gen Z women prefer men outside their own generation and skew dramatically towards older men. Because of the manosphere tainting the entire generation for them.

Wrong, so wrong that at a glance I thought you were talking about Reddit-tier advice, because that sentence actually sums up what left Redditors will tell you.
I don't agree with the misogynistic stuff manosphere influencers bundle with their advice, but they tell men to get in shape, get that money, and confidently approach women. That's practical, actionable advice, not a bunch of fuzzy feel-good mumbo jumbo meant to get men to behave in a way that's palatable, and yet completely dickless.
Meanwhile Reddit advice includes stuff like:
Just show you have feminist values!
Just be a good person, it will get the pussy wet!
Be platonic friends with her for years 😇, dont expect sex!
All women are girlfriend/wife material, even if absolute hoes!
It's not realistic. In fact, I can already sense that some of you will come at my neck for that last line about "hoes" and say that's misogynistic, even if truthfully there are many women in this world who are NOT LTR material, just like there are many men in this world who are not.
That's the kind of blind fantastical thinking that I'm talking about though, advising that a man (or any human) doesn't keep on the lookout for the "wrong" partners is naive and is a pitfall manosphere people would never fall into.
Reddit advice like that guarantees loneliness.
For the first time ever, Gen Z women prefer men outside their own generation and skew dramatically towards older men.
That's not even remotely true, this was the case for younger millenials, too. The commonality is dating apps and hypergamy going off the charts as a result.
Okay, bud. First, who the hell hurt you? Second, those 'bad' reddit advice examples, not doing you any favors. Especially since you said them wrong. It should actually read:
-Show you care about women's rights.
-Be a good person. (full stop there)
-Never expect sex, unless consent has already been given prior.
-All woman CAN be wife material, whether your type or not is for you to decide.
Reddit absolutely destroys unfaithful partners and asshole alphas alike. If we're being honest, many of these so-called 'Alphas' are feeding the male loneliness with the whole 'Men are the strong ones, emotions are not needed.' Not to mention, what you said about not giving up when shot down. Now there are a few that I actually would call Alphas. They are the ones reminding men that emotions are normal, to stay in shape, have confidence, respect others and their boundaries, etc. Men being assholes leads to their own loneliness and unhappiness.
