A recent study showed 25% of US young men are facing a loneliness crisis, called the "loneliness epidemic". US men ranked higher among western, developed countries.

I can see this. Women these days can easily cry "harassment" and "stalking", threatening a man's freedom, finances, and career. In addition, women are also very self-absorbed, give the cold shoulder, are less loyal, dangerous to throw a man under the bus, and are quick to reject. It seems like today, you need preconsent via dating apps or messaging to even approach a woman in-person with romantic intentions. The excessive boundaries are ridiculous, and the hookup culture and unrealistic expectations make matters worse.

I was lucky to find my fiance due to an arranged situation. I was 29 when I had my first real girlfriend. Better late than never, but if I didn't have the help, I would still be lonely today.

This article argued that men’s lack of emotional support systems leads to increased burdens on women in relationships—coining the term “mankeeping” to describe the emotional labor women perform in supporting their male partners - The Hidden Costs of Men's Social Isolation: When men suffer social isolation, women may pay the price, too - www.scientificamerican.com/.../


I chose Option 2 – Men’s struggles shouldn’t be framed through the lens of how they affect women. That’s not empathy—that’s ego wrapped in victimhood.
This article tries to sound supportive of men but ultimately centers women as the ones who suffer because of men’s loneliness, as if men being emotionally isolated is a burden on them. Imagine framing women’s depression or trauma by saying, “Well, men suffer when women are emotionally distant.” It would be considered sexist and dismissive—and rightly so.
Emotional labor exists in both directions. If a woman is exhausted from carrying the emotional weight in a relationship, that’s a valid issue. But that doesn’t mean men’s pain is hers to fix—or that his isolation is somehow her responsibility. That kind of framing only deepens the gender divide and discourages men from seeking help.
If we actually want to support men, we need to talk to them, not about how their pain makes things harder for everyone else.
