>Men complain about the male loneliness epidemic and blame women for all of it
I don't "blame" women for it. To say I "blame" them would suggest that I think there's some moral failing on their part for choosing to not associate intimately with certain men. While I think it's definitely the chief cause of loneliness in men (I don't know whether it's prevalent enough to call it an epidemic), I also think people should be free to associate with whoever they want in their personal relationships. I don't even necessarily blame certain women for feeling permanently turned off when their male partner is emotionally vulnerable with them. You can't really control how you feel about things, you can just accept it. But I will ABSOLUTELY blame the women who try to rationalize it by claiming that the man did something wrong by being vulnerable. That's levels of fucked up that are truly sickening. I also blame women who say they don't care about men being lonely. It's a very antisocial position. I think in a good society we all should be interested in our fellow humans doing well.
>yet they refuse to build deeper connections with other men
I can tell you from experience, that certain kinds of interactions with men simply don't make you feel the same way they would, if you were instead interacting with a woman. A hug from a woman makes you feel completely different than a hug from a man does. Talking to a woman makes you feel completely different than talking to a man does. I think it's simply a biological reality, that you cannot have the kind of emotionally intimate connection with another man you could with a woman.
>accept subpar treatment from their male friends
They treat me fine. It's not their fault they can't make me feel the same way that women can.
>It's truly insane to me
That's because you have a misunderstanding of certain facts around this issue, as I explained.
