How would the male loneliness epidemic be solved realistically, in your opinion?

i think the only fix would be a cultural shift towards the revival of third spaces, like if all men just abandoned their videogames and porn and computers and just went out to places.
imagine places thriving with men all intermingling and socializing. women would start showing up and then everyone would start getting gfs and friends. but maybe that's not realistic, what do you think anon?

Adapting. People will learn to never feel lonely, even alone. Enjoying and celebrating the hermit way will become the norm.

Say that being antisocial is normal. Encourage people isolating. They'll do the opposite.

>videogames and porn and computers
We had all of those and internet in the 2000s and 90s, and we still had friends.

I think the big problem comes from twitch streamers and youtubers. They've been Friend Simulators for well over 15 years now.

Yeah the porn is easier to find and is like 2 and half hours of 4k video, and the video games are also more fun and more addictive and with crazy graphics, there's plenty of websites and apps and platforms for the computer or tablet or phone to do absolutely whatever compared to 25 years ago - but really the problem is thinking that Assmongol or whatever vtuber is a replacement for a social life.

i think it can be solved by making it illegal for kids to go on the internet until they're 18.
and if a kid is found on the internet the parents get fined thousands of dollars.
that solves the problem of generations getting isolated, the pedophiles targetting kids online problem, the internet addiction, censorship would stop, we can't say suicide or kill or terrorism in a youtube video because of children, you can't say shit in videogames because kids are now playing rated m games. if kids were just banned from the internet they would grow up going outside and shit and the social world would fix itself in a few generations.

This one is especially retarded and frustrating since there's already a dedicated Youtube Kids app, but everyone has to walk on egg shells as if there's always an especially sensitive 5 year old in the room with them. There was more freedom of speech on broadcast TV 25 years ago. People have to censor PG 13 movies and even G rated stuff when they react to it on Youtube.

Kids should just have phones/tablets/computer built specifically for kids, they still need to like do homework and look at the news and apply for jobs and text their parents that football practice ended early or whatever.
