"Men are afraid to be alone unlike women"

[Piff Perkins]

Laugh all you want. In reality men have fewer friends than women, are less close to their family than women, and do far less social shyt than women (traveling, restaurants, clubs). Now add all that up and tell me what does a single 60 year old man look like, and what does a single 60 year old woman look like. Which one lives a more fulfilled and social life? Which one is happier? The answer is obvious and we're seeing this play out right now. Depression and loneliness are rising amongst men.

There are dudes in this thread who go days and weeks without talking to anyone outside of work. You know who you are. Dudes with zero chance of fukking a woman anytime soon, much less dating one. Dudes who haven't eaten in a restaurant in years, haven't gone to see a movie in awhile, and nobody checks in on you. How is that working out for you in your 20s and 30s? Now imagine how you'll feel when you're old.

I'd rather be alone tbh

I do lots of shyt dolo and I'm more used to it.

you must be one of those introverts

 

[skyrunner1]

wait.

How can the single women get sex whenever they want, but the single men are sexless? Who are they having sex with?

Nick Cannon and future.

In the hood, slick talkin player type.. These boys running up the score to supply the step daddies enough kids to take care of..

Dont let these women fool you they know what time it is, they literally say the same script, "I didnt know! I know I was baby mama 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.... But I thought he would be different with meeeee"

Perhaps.

Being around a 45+ lonely woman is some of the most depressing shyt you can imagine. All the church and "social" activities in the world can't make up for it.

Again, it's not a competition. We need each other.

Sounds like you are tryna shame men back into a position that doesnt even exist, these things have been like this, heck everyone seems to be aware of men being in solitude and such.. Depression is rising across the board, for everyone, young and old.. Not sure if you speaking to a specific dude or there is a back story but I guess go off..

You can do everything the "right" way and still be "outcast" in your family, happens all the time.. like @Rick Fox at UNC says both parties need to make a deal but I dont see that happening, we gonna have some new dynamics introduced. Everyone better be clear on what they want and accept the repercussion of their decisions

Men and women complement each other. Even if you think you don't need the opposite sex for anything, you are still paying them for some type of service you can't get done yourself.

It's a shame that 20-40 year olds believe they possess more wisdom than the whole of humanity.

That being said, there are people who end up in lifeless/loveless situations, quite a few. Is it better than being alone? Who knows?

"Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two

And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head ah ooh"

I'm not saying loneliness amongst men isn't an issue, but why are we acting like single women are perfectly happy when there's millions of them complaining on the internet each day? Every day there's women complaining about not having male friends, and feeling like men only want to sleep with them. Complaining about competition amongst women, and not being able to fully trust them. Complaining about their biological clock and finding partnership so they can have a family. Complaining about not feeling desirable, and how their dating options are limited. Complaining about not being seen, not feeling respected because they're single, how they feel the men in their dating pool lack the emotional intelligence to support them.

If women are perfectly happy being single, why do they keep getting played by men who butter them up and smooth talk over their insecurities?

Yes, women can get sex and attention easier than men, but everyone is acting like sex is the end all be all for social interaction. They don't view sexual attention the same way men do, because they're drowned in it from the time they hit puberty. In a way, they're more advanced than us when it comes to that. Most women value intimacy and genuine connection...and they clearly aren't satisfied with that they're getting.

Think about it, if women aren't afraid to be alone why do they get so defensive when you suggest they'll end up alone?

I'm not shaming men, I'm saying this isn't the issue for bravado and laughing. This is serious shyt and if it's a game, men are losing right now. The level of depression and loneliness we're seeing in America is unprecedented here. These are the type of dynamics historians look at as early signs of future military conflict, authoritarianism or strife (see post-WWI Germany, and the amount of single men who later drove Nazi Germany's war machine).

I see people talking about compromises that need to be made but we can't even get to that point without first acknowledging the utter deficit in social skills men have right now. The world is moving in a direction that benefits women's strengths: communication, social skill, processing emotion, etc. This wouldn't be a problem if the global economy continued to provide the type of high skilled physical labor jobs that men have always excelled at (manufacturing, construction, etc) but that shyt is largely dead in the west. So we have a large group of men who aren't finding meaningful work, aren't going to college, and are finding solace in insular entertainment like videogames or streaming television. 70 years ago the brutish construction worker was getting paid enough to buy his own car and house. He may not have been the most social person but had a social life outside the home. And his success attracted a woman, and he got married and had children. Today it's an entirely different ballgame and a lot of men are not prepared.

I saw a study where people claim they had only 1-2 real friends. The issue isn't individualistic, it's systemic. Community are going away and people are getting forced out of their homes, evicted. Folks losing they jobs, losing their 3rd places. Y'all have ohh men this, women that. pointless convo becomes y'all both going down their drain.

Sounds like YOU gave up and think that most non-clout men are less than human beings.

A lot of those women are LYING to the public. They drink themselves to sleep every night, take drugs, have "friends" that stab them in the back, keep changing their "friends" lists, do things like social media to do a fraud like existence.

Women are not happier in this era. Don't let the misandrists lie to you.

Nikka, I ain’t worried ‘bout nothin’

Born alone, die alone…Always alone but never lonely cause I got me, myself and I…

If you sit back and hit the If men and women can't get along, eventually you'll have people experimenting with the same sex.

That’s the main thing these weirdos want to go down. It’s disgusting

I'm just talking about reality, what studies are finding, etc. It is what it is.
