Guys, do you think women ever REALLY get lonely?

[MCheetah]

... Or do women just only want attention from attractive/sexy men and consider all others to be non-existent or "creeps"?

If women ever get genuinely lonely (you know like how men do), then what's to stop them from just going on Tinder or to the nearest club to take care of their problem?

I don't believe women in modern society can ever genuinely be lonely. They just don't want the men they have available to them because they're not high-quality enough. I've legitimately never met an actual lonely woman before in my life.

So from what I'm hearing, "female loneliness" is more about some kind of "deep meaningful soulful emotional connection" or the like, where male loneliness is legitimately just companionship or having someone care about you in your life, i. e, more literal. The two are very different.

I'm talking about literal loneliness, not "not having someone who loves you unconditionally" or the like.

[Lliam]

There are enough lonely women here on GAG alone to answer yes to that question.

They're not looking for superficial "quality" as in outstanding looks and money. They're looking for a guy who has more in mind than just getting in their pants. Naturally, they want a guy with ambition. But it's not wealth that they're after. They want an actual romantic connection with a sincere guy. Lots of those women are in the cute/pretty to beautiful range and can't figure out why guys don't approach them. Some of those girls are in their mid to late twenties and are virgins or have only been in one or two relationships.

Some girls are timid and circumspect. They want to be loved and cherished, but are afraid to take chances, especially when it comes to sex.

Aside from her personality, heart, devotion, and yes, hard work and effort, a girl has another important thing to offer - - her body. She has no option. Sooner or later, she has to take a chance, offer body, open up and give herself completely. She can feel not only heartbroken and betrayed but dirty and ashamed, like a human Kleenex, when she discovers that a man was just using her for his own gratification.

What guys seem to fear the most is being taken advantage of financially. But that's hardly the same chance that a women takes. And a man has a choice. He can guard his finances, but a woman can't withhold her most intimate possession. And money is just money.

Anyone, including some who are married or in relationships, can be lonely. Even a person who is desired and can find romantic partners can be lonely. I think hook up culture is an attempt to quell a loneliness that can't be satisfied. Shopping, alcohol or drug abuse, social status, or any number of other things can be attempts to fill an inner loneliness.

In the end, guys and girls aren't much different. People are complex. It's impossible to stereotype people based on gender. There are a wide range of attitudes, values, hopes, dreams, goals, needs, desires, ambitions, appetites, inhibitions, and insecurities.

[malwins]

her most intimate posession? do u mean pussy?

[Lliam]

@malwins. Yes, but also her body in general. A woman makes herself completely vulnerable to inspection, assessment, and use as an object. I'm not saying that's necessarily bad at at all. I love women who are sexual, uninhibited, and comfortable in their own skin. But for some women, it can feel debasing with the wrong guy. Some women like it, though. And that's cool.

[malwins]

yeah! i always say that women have more to lose

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Great answer, my friend

[England4eva]

@Brainsbeforebeauty 100%

[England4eva]

I definitely think there are some gold digger women out there. But all a guy has to do is date a non-superficial woman (even guys can tell the difference) and not break the bank to satisfy her financial taste. Then if he chooses Marriage he can get a prenup.
If a man follows all these rules he will have a higher chance of not getting used financially. However, the only guys I see are 1. Men who don’t want to spend a penny on their girl or 2. Men who give everything and more to a woman who doesn’t love them.

Follow these simple guidelines and every man can relax when it comes to; “does she only want me for my money.”
When I don’t see these being practised I’m just dumbfounded. Sometimes I think men and women like to turn a blind eye, so to speak. Because deep down they know there is a possibility that they are not loved for the right reasons, but they don’t want to risk addressing it for fear of losing their partner.

[MCheetah]

@England4eva
Why should a man be obligated his spend money on a woman (even if it's not "breaking the bank").

The fact you even imply a man MUST spend his money on a woman (but that a woman doesn't need to do so himself), is why many modern men don't listen to women for dating or relationship advice. Because women usually have ulterior motives, even when trying to "help" men. It's like, the woman always has to have the upper hand or leverage over a guy.

[cookiecrusher]

Yes, in the terms of not having a connection/relationship with someone.

But not in a sense as to lonely as a guy can get.

In society, it is much easier for a woman to make close friends or for somebody to care. In most cases, women choose to become lonely overtime.

Nobody really gives a f about guys. Guys who are struggling have very little support system and of course the everlasting negative stigma of reaching out. Main reason why guys commit a lot more suicides as well.

[MCheetah]

I agree with you the most on here. I didn't know a woman's idea of "loneliness" is "someone to not love you with all of their heart and do anything for you, no matter what." Women are spoiled in how good they have it, cause I NEVER would expect so much from someone just to not be considered "lonely."

What I meant, in the male sense, was literal loneliness: No one at all to care about you or have a conversation with. Loneliness, platonically, romantically, or sexually.

But yeah, to women, "being lonely" is someone who doesn't worship her, basically. It makes a lot of sense considering how much more attention women get in society, but I never thought about it, or knew about it, until this post.

My question was still about "male" (literal) loneliness, but if women being surrounded by loved ones and countless friends and loyal pets, but not having some perfect dream husband, counts as "loneliness" to them too, then I guess their feelings are their feelings.

[Puppystarfish23]

Yes.. I can be lonely in a room full of people. I've grown up with two older stisters and they are my best friends and I have my boyfriend whose my best friend too but sometimes I wish I had a friend who liked the same things as me and we do lots of fun, girly stuff together.

Especially since I've moved out I feel so lonely at times. I've managed to make good friends at work but there work friends. I want someone I can go out for a drink with and we can just talk about are lifes with each other.

The only thing is I have trust issues and I feel like the friendship always get ruined when it becomes a group of people especially with girls because that's when bitching and stuff starts

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I totally feel you about trust issues with groups of people, and especially girls. Unfortunately, you're correct about the bitching. That is what makes me leery as well.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yes, I get lonely... For the husband I used to have, the relationship we had..
How would hooking up with someone from tinder help that?
While I miss sex, I also miss the other parts of being in a relationship, someone that's always there, someone to come home to, someone to share conversations and meals and life in general with.. casual sex with a random stranger wouldn't make me less lonely, would make me more lonely... Not everyone just looking for casual sex, and that's not the fix for everyone for loneliness

[Vegasrunner]

@Brainsbeforebeauty Do you guys never read the question b4 answering? He's asking if women get lonely like men do.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Vegasrunner do you ever read past the title:
"I don't believe women in modern society can ever genuinely be lonely. They just don't want the men they have available to them because they're not high-quality enough. I've legitimately never met an actual lonely woman before in my life."
Oh and also:
"
If women ever get genuinely lonely (you know like how men do), then what's to stop them from just going on Tinder or to the nearest club to take care of their problem?"
And that's why I left the reply I left..
Not that I have to explain my response to you..
Why are you even responding to my reply?🤷🏼‍♀️

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Vegasrunner and once again, don't see you jumping on any of the male posts that know women get lonely, just mine, why is that🤔 yeah we both know why that is... Because you spend your time on here harassing females. . And then accuse them of not being able to see others POV, when apparently it's you who can't. .
But I believe I've told you once before, I don't put up with personal attacks on here.. You the one who apparently doesn't read what's being said. . But, have a nice day😊

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Vegasrunner I removed your last reply and now I'm blocking you, because I'm done with your petty BS..
My first words were yes I do get lonely, I cry for the husband that died too young, while idiots get to live.
I sit in a house alone that used to be filled with love and family and now it's nothing but an empty shell... So I answered the question.. I'm not that lonely or pathetic that I have to harass people on the internet for no reason, that would be you, but you'll have to find someone else to harass, cuz I'm done with it. Again, Have a good day!

[sirderpsalot123]

@Vegasrunner Exactly what constitutes lonely for men and lonely for women? Maybe I'm stupid but I need you to explain to that to me. There is research that shows that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. People can live shorter lives due to loneliness. I'm not a woman, so I don't want to make blank statements about the female brain, but I'm going to need someone to provide some sort of credible source explaining the differences between female loneliness and male loneliness.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@sirderpsalot123 he won't be able to reply, because I blocked him after days of him harassing me and another female user on a post of mine last week

[sirderpsalot123]

@Brainsbeforebeauty yeah I just now read your comments. I believe it. I see him around and he seems like jerk.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@sirderpsalot123 yeah he got salty cuz on my post about if men really believe women want to be lied to, he left a reply on another females post bragging about how he 100% lies to women, and she gave it to him and I commented that I bet he's single lol and he's been harassing both me and that other female since, but didn't block till today, because I don't block people who disagree, or have a different POV, but I will be block people that harass me or other people that reply to my posts or insult people just because of their gender

[Lliam]

Dearest bbb, your reply to the question was lovely. It provided heartbreaking insight. I don't know why it's so hard for some bitter guys to understand. I think by "lonely" they mean lack of sex. But that's not it at all. A person can get lot of sex and still be lonely.
Tell me what you think about my reply to this question. <3

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Lliam and my answer did cover missing sex, but replacing sex with the same man for twenty years with a casual sex hook up wouldn't be the same for me, would make me more lonely because when it comes down to it, I'm not a casual sex sort of person, so I'd feel worse after for doing something that doesn't feel right to me

[Lliam]

@Brainsbeforebeauty. I totally get it. I tried to explain that in my response to the question, too. <3

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Lliam I know, I read it

[Mangospacho]

If you get blocked by @Brainsbeforebeauty, then it must’ve been REALLY bad.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Mangospacho I do try not to block people, I'll debate, I'll civilly "argue", but that user was jumping on any thread to try to harass, and not just me, another user that replied to a post of mine... Some people are on here for advice or to give opinions, and some people are on here to try to stir up drama and attack people just based off their gender, and I ain't got time for that

[Mangospacho]

Oh yeah. He was way out of line.

[zoe2187]

Of course women get lonely. Having “our needs met.” Hummm are you implying women require sex? I have never felt the “need” for sex. Sex is temporary if you’re searching for a guy online. If would never fill the loneliness. Not all women find the same guy sexy/attractive. Personality is important. Work on yourself before. Based on my opinion of the wording of your question you seek out the wrong women to try and date. Just like not all men are the same, women aren’t either. Change your type. You’ll find someone.

[Lucy68]

We women do get lonely, sometimes I get lonely cause I don't have a significant other, sometimes I get lonely when I've been by myself for a while, sometimes I feel even more lonely during my menstrual cycle (that I'll blame on the hormones). Whenever I do feel lonely sometimes I'll go to the mall for shopping and then to my favorite cafe (being around other individuals does help me a bit even though I'm not conversing with them). As for the relationship, it's lonely to not have that person to talk to as well as cuddle with as well

[Zenit93]

Of course they do. My wife was the hottest girl in high school type and is a huge introvert. Gets a lot of attention, and she still struggles with social anxiety at times. She never had a lot of friends. Even when she slept around when she was younger, it never filled that void. Yes, women can get sex easier than men, but sex doesn’t do the trick the way it does for men. Women realize they can spread their legs, but they still ask themselves if they’re worth anything more than that. So yes, of course women can get lonely. My wife struggled with this a lot.

[sirderpsalot123]

I don't agree with you on this one. There is more to a relationship than just sex. Having casual sex is not forming a genuine connection with that person. I think most people will become lonely if they don't have someone they can connect with on a deeper level.

[sirderpsalot123]

Even if it's their fault for having ridiculously high standards, this will still result in them being lonely.

[JSmuve]

Yes, I believe they can get lonely. While it's true that a lot of the younger women can go onto a dating app and be flooded with attention, that won't stop them from feeling lonely because it's not necessarily the kind of attention that they want. It's like saying that a guy could go to a strip club if he's feeling lonely and have women approach him all night. He's still going to feel lonely because he knows why they're approaching him and it's not the attention he really wants. I imagine women are the same. Lots of guys trying to get with them for a night. Then there's the women who are past their expiration date. They become invisible to men in the same way that a lot of men are invisible to women. The older women are probably the loneliest.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Isn't everyone more interested in those they're attracted to than those they're not? Not that that gives them an excuse to call those they don't find attractive "creeps" unless they're genuinely acting like it, but you can't tell me every man will settle for just any woman they don't find attractive, either.

Also, there is more to it than just sex. Women tend to be more emotional than sexual in general and don't want to sext with a guy who treats them like a piece of ass when they're lonely, they typically want a genuine connection.

As for myself though? No, I don't typically get lonely because I'm a loner myself, am not interested in relationships or sex, and get all of the human interaction I need through family and friends.

[DarkCarousel]

I rarely feel lonely but when I do, the feeling is intense. I mostly stay so busy that I don’t have time to think about being alone. I’m (fortunately or unfortunately) very comfortable in my routines and the excitement I currently have in my life.
I’m a more reserved type of person and genuine connections take time to build.

[Phoenix-gb]

I'm not going to blanket state that women never get lonely, I do believe it is however easier for them to get support to deal with it from their friend group, while men don't have that kind of relationship with other men.

Romantically lonely, I'm more inclined to agree with you, for every woman who complains guys look through them, they've got guy friends who would go out with them that they ignore, and so the cycle continues.

[whirled_up_girl]

When the pandemic started and I was working in the hospital with Covid patients I did feel very lonely then. Well I did in the beginning at least because I couldn’t actually be with any of my friends and had to limit interactions with family. My coworkers became my friends and family the only people that I could see till we could asses the risk. So there are definitely times when I’ve felt lonely but just being single isn’t the only reason why I would say that I felt lonely at times.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I would say both, but then I think a person can be picky and lonely.
I'm lonley, and I'm VERY picky.
I hate being by myself, but I also hate being around people I don't like mentally, and I'm picky in looks too.

[MCheetah]

I'm just saying, you can be lonely and picky, but if you're lonely because you're picky, then you have no right to complain about it (regarding anyone who is picky).

[TheSpaceGnome]

Well I can look at it that way, or I can look at it like being picky is genetic, so it's the hand I was delt, not the choice I made.

If I settled, I'd be even more lonely.

[TheSpaceGnome]

For me, lonliness is about needing companionship, curing boredom, having relatibility, and needing emotional and physical connections (including love), with relatibility being and boredom being the strongest needs.

[Themostabsurd]

I tend to think not, at least until they reach the age of about 30. After all their fake girlfriends have married off and started families, they no longer get the attention/validation they used to from men. Then I see some of them start to understand how alone they really are and always have been. Usually they fall into a very deep depression.

[CheeseMonster]

You know that sex/dates is not the only connection a person can have? Lonely is a much deeper problem than that. A lot of people are not lonely even when they don't get sex/dates for a long time. A lot of people are lonely even when they get sex/dates regularly.

Please don't imply that men only get lonely because of lack of sex/dates. And of course women can and do get lonely too. REALLY lonely, in the same way men do.

[CheeseMonster]

What exactly do you mean by "caring about you in life" if you don't mean a "meaningful emotional connection"? What do you think emotions are?

[Alyssa_11]

Because when we get lonely sex doesn’t solve the issue. Sure I could find someone to sleep with me very easily but it doesn’t take away that need to have an emotional connection and feel loved by a man.

[TonyMetal___86]

Princess rapunzel's key to happiness, joy and fun is marriage 😌

A loving man who will truly love the rapunzel princess and takes good care of her 😊

[Heartache0405]

Until she strangles him to death with her hair. The movies never tells you what happens after the happily ever after. The reality of it is miserable at best @RonyMetal__86

[Alyssa_11]

Looool oh dear

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 this won't be alyssa rapunzel, she would be an evil rapunzel 😌

[Heartache0405]

How do you know? @TonyMetal__86

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 cause she's an awesome girl unlike the majority of girls!
There still good girls out there...

[Heartache0405]

Oh? Do you know her well enough to actually know that she's an awesome girl or are you just saying that? And where are these good girls? Because they're clearly not on GAG and definitely in my state.

[Heartache0405]

not* in my state

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 i do know her well and i know her views and ideology, she's an awesome girl and how do you know that she is one? It's because she was hurt from men while mean girls hurts and do not get hurt!

She ain't the only good girl on gag, the majority of my female followers in here are awesome ladies...

[Heartache0405]

If you say so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 look it's not like i have a guarantee over someone but it is what it is, if they are lying or not being honest than it's their problem not mine but until now these girls are great, they don't need to act because they won't get any benefits from it, there are many girls herr on gag who are just scums and if you see my block list, you will be shocked...

[Heartache0405]

I'm pretty sure that any one of the ones you haven't blocked will agree with majority of the ones you consider to be scum on more then one thing discussed. But I'll let you experience that on your own because I've experienced that plenty

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 people are just different, if i like them and they follow me and i follow them, we doesn't have to be identical in everything, i respect other people's opinions, choices, beliefs... etc, as long as they respect mine...

Many of my followers, are very near to my views but still we disagree on some issues and that's perfectly fine, some other member in here i have respect for them and they have respect for me and we are completely the opposite in everything, but because they are friendly and respectful, i cannot turn them down!

I'm not surprised if some of my followers agrees with topics that i'm against or if they are friends with people that i already blocked...

Judge the people on the way they treat you!

[Heartache0405]

Well, personally they treat me like shit so I treat them the same right back. They don't deserve my respect. Never given me a reason to.

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 who are they and why would they treat you like sh*t?

[Heartache0405]

Random ass women on GAG. Calling me an incel and a mysoginist. Saying that the false accusation I had to deal with was my fault and that the girl who accused me had a reason to do what she did when they weren't even there. Every woman I fucking tell sides with her and what she did to me. Why should I give any of their self objectified asses any respect

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 if you know that you're innocent and oppressed, why do you even care about what others say, because in fact they won't change a thing, if you're right than you will always be right, that's a fact that no one can change and if you're wrong than no matter how much they tell you that you're right, in reality you will remain wrong...

People who accuse you eith bad things and do not want to listen to you, just block them and keep on going...

Many of the pink accounts in here are trolls or fake and there are many feminists in here who are in disguise, don't let these sh*tty members make you feel down...

[Heartache0405]

You don't seem to care whether you're taking to one of the feminists in disguse yet you give them unnecessary respect. Why?

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 like i said before, it's because i know them and i give them respect because they earned it...
You won't respect someone who disrespects you but you won't also disrespects someone who haven't disrespected you...

[Heartache0405]

Just don't misplace all of that respect. You'll end up giving it to someone who doesn't deserve it and you'll feel like an absolute fool

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 i hope not

[Alyssa_11]

Hey, I feel weird intruding onto this conversation but thought it was worth saying that there are a lot of good girls/bad girls just as there are a lot of good guys/bad guys. Being good/bad isn't exclusive to a gender!

Also @TonyMetal___86 is my friend, I feel like we know each other's personalities quite well by now lol.

[TonyMetal___86]

@alyssa_11 well said sweet princess rapunzel 😊
I'm trying to deliver a message to him ao he understands that not every girl is bad and unworth it...

Maybe he was hurt from women but also a lot of girls were hurt by men...

I was also trying to show him that here's a girl who is hurt the same way you were hurt by women but she was hurt from men...

He kept repeating the same things, trying to convince me that only women hurts men and that i'll regret my good attitude later, so i replied and told him that he can treat a woman badly if she's treating you like a prince and than say why she's treating me bad now...

The majority of people had a bad experience with the opposite gender, especially if they were good but that doesn't means that i must hate a whole gender just because someone from a specific gender treated me badly...

That's the whole thing...

If he keeps thinking the same way, he will always be sad and will never find happiness and will remain closed on himself...

[cookiecrusher]

And i was like, "uu, 23 replies 😗, i wonder what deep life altering conversation is going on here. Oh nevermind😅, carry on 🤫

[Heartache0405]

You're his friend because he calls you things like "sweet princess."

Doubt his wife would like to know he does that 🤭

[TonyMetal___86]

@Heartache0405 what wife? Are you allright mr? What are you trying to say?
1st of all i don't have a wife and if i had one, i know how to act and what to do, not waiting for someone like you to teach me...

I was being nice to you and now i don't know what you mean by his wife won't be happy while i don't have a wife or even a girlfriend, i'm a single man!

Of you're going to make up things now than my convo with you is over!

[Alyssa_11]

@TonyMetal___86 yes I totally agree with you. The majority of us have had bad experiences with the opposite gender but that doesn’t mean that we should hate an entire gender for it.

[TonyMetal___86]

@alyssa_11 😊👍🏻

[annabananna]

I can And have def been lonely. Meeting up with a random guy on tinder won't fix your loneliness if you don’t feel connected or understood by the people you are around.

[Desconhecida]

You shouldn't generalize people. These days, modern society makes everyone lonely. Technology seems to connect people easier and faster but it's never a deep connection, just shallow.

[Mrs_Incredible]

I agree

[aWes0MeNeSs]

So true. I absolutely hate that it seems to be replacing in person interaction in so many ways. Nobody seems to go out and do anything anymore, it is all done on a Facebook group or something of the like. It seems like there are fewer group activities and such, because people would rather be on what is essentially a chat room. I was hoping one good thing coming out of COVID lockdowns would be that it would make people realize what they take for granted, but it seems to have only made it worse.

[Desconhecida]

I know, right? Chats are so impersonal since we know the other person is not giving us their undivided attention.
Group chats = hell.
FAMILY group chat = VIP pass in hell.
Facebook groups = they still exist? 😆

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Agreed! Unfortunately, yes, Facebook groups do still exist, and IME they're usually toxic and like going back to high school. They're also taking the place of discussion forums, which I liked much better for discussing hobbies and interests and sharing experiences (though, of course, nothing replaces in person interaction).

[Daniela1982]

Sure we do, we are human. The thing about loneliness is that you can have a ton of friends and still be lonely.

[Hellraiser1984]

Nope , they've got slutty clothes clubs and can spread their legs to get anything they want. They got guys asking them out all the time and love the torture they put guys through. And they have those kids from other guys to love. So yeah they're never alone.

[Heartache0405]

No. They make themselves lonely. It’s on purpose for women but it’s unintentional for men. Men are actually lonely

[Vegasrunner]

@sirderpsalot123 Thank you for your inquiry. I wouldn't be the best person to ask as I didn't as the original question, and I've never felt loneliness as the original author is describing.

[sirderpsalot123]

Then how did you plan on debating something you admit to having no knowledge or personal experience With? I wasn't trying to gang up on you or anything, but not many people have agreed with the asker , and so I thought I'd try to get your perspective on what the difference is.

[Vegasrunner]

@sirderpsalot123 Not sure what or who your referring to please eloborate what debate?

[sirderpsalot123]

You replied to another user suggesting that she misunderstood the question. "He's saying women don't get lonely the way same way men do." I'm asking what do you think the difference is between male loneliness and female loneliness is? I don't believe there is one.

[sirderpsalot123]

If you didn't want to have an actual conversation and the only intention you had was to bother this specific user, you can just say that.

[Vegasrunner]

@sirderpsalot123 Oh I see where you're confused. My opinion on lonlieness isn't relevant to my question to that user. What I was saying is that I think the original poster was asking do women get lonely in the same way men do w/ the difference being if I man is lonely he's by himself because he can't use Social Media or dating apps to instantly find a women. Where if a women ever felt lonely Tecnically all she would have to do is go to social media or a dating app and she can basically order some guy to fill that void temporarily. I think the one user is attempting to quantify loneliness as to say if they can't find the "right" person then they remain lonely. I don't think the quality of the individual is relevant to the original posters question he's saying that a lonely man can't instantly find another human to erase that loneliness.

[sirderpsalot123]

I agree that it's easier for a woman to find someone who will have meaningless sex with them, but that's all it is. I don't think it has anything to do with loneliness, and if it does, it barely does. Thank you for the clarification though.

[Vegasrunner]

@sirderpsalot123 I think if you end your sentence right after meaninglessness sex then you're demonstrating you understand the question. The only way we would know is if we asked @mcheetah but I believe that's what he's saying.

[MCheetah]

@sirderpsalot123
To me, there is a strong difference between "male loneliness" (what I always understood it to mean) and "female loneliness" (which is basically, someone to love you and make you feel "whole and complete.")

If a guy is lonely, he is LITERALLY lonely. No friends, no partner, no pets, no one even willing to entertain a conversation with him.

If a girl is lonely, (based on what the female replies are implying here), it's because she doesn't have someone's True Love and some deep years-long-built emotional connection or what have you.

I guess I never really thought about that prior to asking the question, because as a man, this kind of "quality human interaction" is something I've never thought about before. As in, it's (mostly) a woman thing.

When I say "lonely" I mean it in the most literal sense. A friend OR a partner. Hell, even a coworker or a neighbor willing to chill with you. A lonely man is ALL ALONE. While women are saying it's all about this inner spiritual emotional connection and stuff. And I'm not discounting that, as I too have been surrounded by lots of people who I don't get along with, which adds to a feeling of isolation (aka "loneliness" as women use it). But I wouldn't consider that to be loneliness, as much as not having someone to romantically love you.

When women describe "being alone" on here, I'm interpreting that as not having a soulmate or a BFF or something. Which to me, is being way more picky than simply having a single friend or even a pet, in your life.

I won't argue this "not really being loneliness," cause it's semantics. But I was referring to ANYONE to just be there for you (not just sex, like many women assumed I meant; women can make new friends online or at the club easier than men can, too).

@MCheetah when I said "not really being loneliness " I just mean that when I think of causal sex, I just think of being horny. I am also guilty of assuming that you were just referring to sex. That's where the confusion came from. This makes a lot more sense to me. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

@sirderpsalot123 It sounds like I was correct in my analysis of @mcheetah statement I realize when live in a world were people never admit they were wrong but you jumped to that ladies defense kind of quickly, when in reality she was simply throwing a tantrum because she didn't agree w/ his statement.

@Vegasrunner It does seem weird that you didn't leave your own comment and you only responded to her comment. I wouldn't say she threw a tantrum because she didn't like MCheetas question, she and several others just didn't understand the question. This includes myself. I assumed the literal loneliness he was talking about is how it works for everyone. I never thought about how women might not experience that so I was confused about what the difference was.

@sirderpsalot123 I didn't "respond" I asked her a direct question. Her response was to remove my comment and block me. Is that not the online equivalent of a tantrum?

With smart phones in their hands … most don’t get “lonely” during the day. night time/idle time… both m/f get lonely.
