What's the cause?

What's the solution?

This is the end goal. Its over. This is how collapse occurs.

its all self inflicted. some guys chose a less social lifestyle and refuse to socialize further.

we want to connect with people, but not with the people that exist around us. our focus on escapism and individualism has created puzzle piece humans. their shapes determined by which niches and experiences they've been molded by. i don't know if there's a solution for the people like us who grew up in it, but there's always hope for the next generations. there needs to be some sort of incentive to participate in the communities around them. not even referring to sexual or romantic loneliness because i think those are easier to handle + less of a problem once platonic loneliness is resolved. it's a problem with city planning, cost of living, loitering laws, addictions and distractions, etc. it's everything. there is ZERO guidance.

why would a guy choose a less social lifestyle in the first place
maybe being social sucks when people actively reject you
maybe no one ever really socializes anymore and we just check each other's appearance then fast forward every step

if the male loneliness epidemic is NOT just natural selection then that logic should apply in all cases. for example lions are NOT hunting zebras its actually just a zebra vulnerability crisis

it's not real. Most guys don't need to socialize outside of work. What we need is a wife

Now I might just be throwing curveballs here, but I might have a few ideas to this.

The cause is a shitton of things, in reality. But the main things are these;

A. Transitioning from a capitalist economy into a rent economy; prices stay permanently high, nobody really owns anything, no sense of ownership over anything in your life makes you feel powerless in your own home and skin.
B. We still haven't recovered from the 2008 recession. Interest rates are still wacky, and the price of goods and services keeps inflating far beyond the amount of wages given to the bottom ~70% earners.
C. A work-based culture means that you're practically encouraged to make slaving away for the rest of your life INTO your life, and nobody wants to do that shit.
D. The sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s led to people in the 80s and 90s replicating actions without understanding the reasons behind them, making shitty life decisions which gave birth to 90s and 2000s kids to bad, inexperienced, unwilling, or irresponsible parents in DROVES.

And that's just to name a few. I could probably go on for hours about various points and perspectives to it all; but basically, people trying to replicate cultures without understanding them, combined with manipulative economic decisions by the ones in power, lead to today's culture, both in work and socialization, pretty much lacking, and especially for men.

Im 37 and barely ever talked to a w*man in my life

"Loneliness" is a gynocentric illusion that only exists to validate the illusory "blessings" given by the female.

I hope this helps, I really do. Now enjoy this epic reddit ss
