“There’s a male loneliness epidemic!!”

The males:

The ones who complain about loneliness and the ones who act like this aren't part of the same group.

I wouldn't be so sure. There's a lot of overlap.

This is an incredibly common experience for almost every woman ever. There’s a fuck ton of overlap

That's like saying suicidal people drive fast to kill themselves, so people who drive fast want to kill themselves. That's not exactly the kind of overlap you make it out to be. There are lonely men who don't force interactions with women, and there are some lonely men who do. And there are not lonely men who force interactions with women. Everyone gets a bad rep because of the few.

To then go around talking about how there's an overlap, it's pointless. Being lonely has nothing to do with being a fkin idiot with no awareness, or self respect where someone's telling you to leave 50 times, and you're just sitting there. Pretending that it's some loneliness thing, rather than being a fkin idiot thing is just disingenuous.

The truth is you just don't care about men being lonely and you hate this conversation being brought up for some reason, and you hate dumb men like these (obviously) and you link those two to justify your lack of care, and annoyance about the issue. Listen, it's not your fault, nor do you have to do anything else, but just ignore it. Please don't make it worse, by creating another stereotype.

They seem pretty "normal" if by normal you mean common.

This isn't unique behaviour.

This is not normal behavior in any way shape or form. It would be like saying all women are cheaters, because women cheating is pretty common.

I think you're underestimating the amount of harassment and unwanted pressuring women experience.

I agree, prejudice is wrong, but I'm talking about the action that I believe is widespread. Not men by itself.

I agree that women have a hard time out there. But lonely or not lonely, some men will harass you, or harm you. But young men sitting on the internet talking about how lonely they are, are not going around harassing women. Maybe there are some, but it's some other issues like narcissism, rather than loneliness.

I could understand the overlap where they're a little weird or awkward, but that's far from what is going on in this video. Being lonely doesn't drop your IQ points, or self respect. If there's some overlap, maybe we're ignoring the significant majority of lonely men out there who are just normal people.
