Why are men lonelier than women?

[OrhanKultigin]

In modern age, men seems to be lonelier than women. Why is it that way?

[Anonymous]

I don't think it's just loneliness. We don't get credit for jack shit. Anything we do, no matter how difficult or intricate, and no matter how well we do it... well, you're a man and you're supposed to do everything and do it well.

There's no such thing as "woman's work" anymore. But anything heavy, difficult, or unpleasant is a man's work. And never forget that anything you're better at becomes your responsibility, too.

So where am I going with all this? The lack of respect and appreciation is making a lot of men bow out of relationships in general because all we get is an increased workload.

And yes, ladies, I realise that it's my fault for "picking the wrong women". But there doesn't seem to be many right ones at all, and a lot of us are getting tired of looking for that "unicorn" who's willing to at least try to match effort

[oiqt99]

It may appear this way possibly because women tend to have more emotional outlets than men typically do. Meaning, women tend to open up to friends and family easier, and therefore have more support gathered around them. Whereas, men don't typically open up to others, except in a relationship. There's also the physical side, which is pretty obvious for men. Although both men and women crave physical affection, women can sometimes satisfy that craving in other ways. Another aspect considering the modern age could be social media. When you constantly view pretty girls on social media or other couples, it can remind you of what you're "missing".
Overall, I think men and woman can be just as lonely. Women may find other outlets so they don't seem as lonely to others, but everyone craves connection.

If a women gets lonely, she just has to accept one of her many many many suitors.

If a man wants a relationship It take a lot of work, time, money and emotional fortitude (ability to take rejection, risk to reputation and flat out abuse) and men must accept an abusive relationship because unlike women , men don't get to choose, we have to take what is offered or stay alone.

[Juxtapose]

No, you do not have to accept abuse. There are women out there with good hearts.

I will acknowledge though that staying single will be a lot easier than finding one of those women.

Women are choosing the top 20% of men.

These men are either rich or high middle class or "Good looking hobo-sexuals"


So there aren't enough women for regular guys

or the socially awkward guys.

Women rather die alone, or force marriage commit after she had her dick riding phase for 10 years. Shell have several kids and be late 20s to 30s.

Men are choosing not even deal with these women because it no worth it they don't like you like they like that homeless man or rich dude. They just tolerate you.

Men are good being alone it's sad but well survive. use you rmobey on forgiven women. It's not that expensive bro. It's not shamable either. The same money you'll spend on a date you can get the whole experience

For me it’s like I was only taught to neglect myself.
That My needs don’t matter. And being lonely is just an Acceptable part of life.
If I reach out to my girlfriend it’s ignored for the most part reinforcing that narrative. Reach out to friends and they don’t have time. avoiding the inevitability truth that they feel the same.
Similar For single men mostly due to rejection and sedation. You can’t reach out without looking weak and no women wants a weak man or so we’re told.
A woman is far less likely to be rejected when approaching a man. And if she is it’s usually far less degrading way than what is commonly done to a Man. Yet we are still expected for the most part to initiate interaction. Women are taught or allowed to have emotions. Making it easier to seek and receive help.
Basically no one cares when a man is lonely or needs help and that’s the worst feeling we live with.
These are just my experience’s

[howhigh420]

[sacrifices]

another lying whore lol

[howhigh420]

sleakimg to me like that u sound like a wanker no goot personality

[exitseven]

There was a study that showed that more than 50% of men do not have even one close friend. It is the way our society is. There is no community. Everyone is busy and nobody had time for friendships. I have been unemployed for a long time and with covid I was feeling really isolated. I reached out to several people an nothing ever came of it. Everyone is too busy.

[Juxtapose]

Damn man, ever since I moved away from my mom I have been doing nothing but living with friends. I wouldn't want to live alone and not even hang out with my buddies, I'm way too social for that lonesome shit.

[jasco]

Because all women have to do is post a picture or a half nude one to get attention. Granted they will get it regardless of what they post because men like looking at women. We wanna be friends, we wanna make connections, but women are not like us to a degree. They are more secertive about it when it comes to who they like

[Anonymous]

A lot of guys want love, even though men are portrayed as "they just want to get laid" which isn't true. A lot of guys wish they had someone to love, but just can't seem to live up to the high expectations and standards women have these days. It's hard to find someone without a high body count, some girl that wants love more than just sex.

[Anonymous]

If you aren't rich or very good-looking, your chances of getting anyone will be very rare. If you aren't inherently rich, you have to work years to get some money. Any woman despite her looks can get a guy in just hours. Maybe the relationship can be a hookup but it's still available to women.

[RV2121]

Because men are raised without a strong male role model therefore most men are lethargic and lazy to go out and socialize. They sink themselves deep in video games

[TheSpaceGnome]

Video games allow more socializing than any other hobby. It's the fastest way to make genuine friends by a mile. Also, gaming isn't feminine, and most adult men like gaming, so most "strong" male "role models" would be gamers. Also having a role model at all is only something followers/slow people do.
Also You can be a gamer and not be a lazy person.

So thats not the reason.

[RV2121]

Most men play video games because they don't have any friends and socializing over internet is not same as socializing in real life.

Of course reel life is taking over real life so you're defending video games at all costs.

Having a male role model is necessary to understand what a man is. Every great person had a role model to take guidance from.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Actually no, most men play video games because video games are fun, and people tend to prefer friends who share the same hobbies as them, so any friends I met gaming, tend to be the only ones who end up as lifelong bestfriends, and yes, it is the same as socializing in real life, saying otherwise is ridiculous, party chat is no different than a phone call or talking in the same room.

"Reel" life is not taking over real life, You just refuse to acknowledge that nerds are still real men, or that gaming is enjoyable, or that people who meet online end up hanging out in person, because you're an idiot.

Smart people do not need role models, we think for ourselves.

[RV2121]

Very few people who do gaming meet in real life. If that happened for you great but that's not majority so gaming keeps most people from social life maybe not for you

[TheSpaceGnome]

Most people game with either existing best friends or people that become best friends.

[RV2121]

No that's not most people but you're entitled to your opinion

[TheSpaceGnome]

it's most people who play video games.

Also observations and opinions are 2 diffferent things.

[mantelk]

Men who seek attention feel that way since women get all the attention. Me personally I mostly keep to myself and don't hang around with people much but don't feel lonely at all. In fact it is a blessing.

[DWornock]

Because almost all women, can take shower and go out and find many men that want her. However, most men can go out dozens of time and never find a woman.

[Cubus]

I think on average women have higher expectations. If you are a woman, you just need to be quite good looking ( not a bombshell) and it's enough to find someone.

[FunkyMonkee]

Because women never give it up unless you beat the hell out of them.

[red_knight]

Everyone wants to bang the girl bot no1 wants to just bang the guy leave alone honest loyal relationships

[RandomGuy1030]

You literally need a female in this society. Having them is a status symbol. On the contrary no one has time for low value beta males.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Because women just have to open their legs and away you go.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm not sure that they even are.

[Juxtapose]

Because men don't get attention like women do.

[Slim57]

Because it's easier for women in dating

[XXblack88]

I'm not sure
