Hot take: Male loneliness epidemic is not real, women are just now starting to deprioritize men and living their own lives and these men feel threatened by not being the center of attention (e.g. getting married later, declining birth rates, etc.)

The other half of that is that men don’t know how to get fulfillment through friendship. It’s one thing to struggle making connections, but it’s another to have friends and put zero effort into growing those friendships. They put all the emotional labor onto women.

exactly!! male loneliness has got to have some of the most misogynistic roots. as if they’re entitled to having a woman at their convenience 😭 “epidemic” my ass. this is js women having standards and priorities now

lukewarm take but i agree

Yeah tbh I don’t think it’s male/female, I think all generations, all people experience phases of loneliness. For example, older generations didn’t talk about problems. Younger ones are fed crap on screens. We’re all just trying to have friends and be happy, and when it doesn’t work out we get sad. It’s not necessarily gendered, it’s just a human experience. Not trying to minimize other people’s situations though, there’s definitely correlations and statistics, but it’s also common

And the whole “top 1% of men get all the woman on dating apps” have they seen the male profiles on dating apps?? I saw a man answer “ . “ to every prompt on hinge

But you should not use these beliefs to actively spread hate, target, disrespect, or devalue men. Wonder why men don’t share their feelings, maybe its because their emotions are never valued. These types of posts show exactly that.

this is an incredibly cold take. I see some form of it every other day on this app alone and saying anything contrary to this would get you downvoted into oblivion

Very true. I find it crazy how some guys don’t have a clue about what’s going on in their “best friends” lives and don’t really seem to want to know either which that behavior ends up bleeding in their own romantic relationships. They expect others to do all the work to uphold the relationship

ok edgelord it’s about how she called this a hot take

Men have always been unable to take rejection and have been killing women from it forever and why are we talking about what they do when they are lonely and not why they are doing it? Why are you implying that we should be with them so they stay complicit and not murderous even if they suck? Why do we have to suffer why can’t they just get better?

Can I ask how I would use my belief of decentering men to devalue them? And how is this post showing how their emotions are “never valued”

It’s not about upvotes or downvotes these are trends that are very real and relevant in today’s society, I’m just discussing it cause I like hearing other peoples opinions

They definitelyyy feel overly entitled and then when they don’t get the reaction/attention they think they deserve they get offended like I’m sorry I’m not falling to my knees for you just because you texted me back in a timely manner😭

This picture is exactly what I think of when men talk about not being able to share their feelings. Okay maybe ONE person in your life made fun of u for something, and it sucks, but that’s life. It’s always men pushing the narrative that they’re not supposed to open up. Women generally want the men in their lives to confide in them, whether it’s a romantic relationship or a just a friendship.

OP 11w

It’s a fine opinion and I agree with it, I am only saying that there are incredibly few spaces that this would ever be considered a hot take in. if you go to a super religious institution or something, then sure, this is hot and different. not everything is a hot take and that’s ok
