How often have you heard, ‘male loneliness is one of the great social problems of our time’? It’s apparently behind the rightward shift all over the world.

And I’m so sick of people on here dismissing the issue. If it were treated with consideration, do you not think the world would be a better place?

We need to figure out who this male is. How is this guy creating so much havoc? SOMEONE suck his goddamn dick FFS. I’m hetero but I volunteer if he’s so inclined. I’ll suck him, I’ll fuck him, I’ll do anything. You all can keep complaining about the patriarchy but I’m a solutions first guy.

We can all relate to feeling lonely. This man wields an incomprehensible amount of power over the social fabric of human society, but he’s still human, and he deserves to know community, to feel love. Literally the only person who stands between capitalism and communism, and ‘leftists’ want to grandstand about being too good for him… this is the problem with the modern left.

Male Loneliness can be solved if you aren't too much of a chud to think going to the movies alone or bothering your similarly-aged friends who aren't in relationships/don't have kids yet to come hang with you is too much effort. How do I know this? I'm an eternal bachelor in4 my 30s and will like, at least once a month, buy one of my single friends a ticket to some indie show or movie just so they are forced to hang out with me (even if all we do is meet at the movie theater and watch the movie & maybe chat on the way out!!!)

    Hell yeah, that's the spirit! I've combined my dislike for exercise with this type of socialising by inviting friends to go play disc golf or shoot some basketball and rarely go swimming, lazy but fun sports :)

    If you like watching a sports game is nice as well. Especially something like F1 or football (soccer for the yanks)

    Baseball actually is the ideal Sports-related hangout, in terms of actually going to a game, if you're a stupid American like myself; I haven't lived in a state/city that hasn't had some level of professional baseball within a 30-40 minute drive. Even the ~25 states that don't have any MLB/NBA/NHL/NFL teams will still, in my experience, at least have college ball or one/two teams that are part of one of the independent baseball leagues that feed into the MLB draft.

    Benefit to baseball beyond the wide availability in the US is also the fact that even MLB games are never super expensive (unless its like the World Series), the games are always guaranteed to last a few hours, it's slow enough that you don't have to really pay attention unless you really care about the game, they're always outdoors, and most of the crowd is usually there to just chill out & drink. Soccer is good too, but I've never actually been to a MLS or USL game.

    F1 is so niche in the US and I'll be damned if I pay $200 for a friend's single day Grand Prix ticket and then also have to convince them to spend the money on traveling to Austin or Miami or wherever it is LOL. Nascar is the proletariat's F1 brace-dark-cowboy
