The “male loneliness epidemic” is self inflicted
It’s funny in a sad way seeing guys online complaining about how hard it is to pick up girls on dating apps then going to bars and seeing girls just waiting around because there are barely any guys confident enough to approach them.
99% of the guys who feel lonely spend their time on solitary hobbies like gaming or scrolling their phones. Picking up girls is fundamentally just talking to people. If you’re not actively improving your social skills then blaming girls for your loneliness is cringey and entitled.
Loneliness is a choice a lot of men make by refusing to step out of their comfort zones. Nobody said the words “male loneliness crisis” in the 90’s before technology got good enough to make being a recluse not boring.
