its more so that society caters to mostly women. Look what is happening at universities, a lot of young men are disenfranchised. It's way deeper than you think.

Might have to do something with the loss of church in the lives of cis white men

They just need to fill that void

There’s a podcast that discusses this. There’s a lack of male based communities which is how most friendships were formed in the past. Plus men in marriages often times are more likely to lose their friends and have their wife become their best friend vs women typically having larger friend groups

and black men can’t walk the streets or drive at night without fear of getting killed or harassed for no reason

There’s an easy explanation

Men would rather group up online as opposed to in real life

That preference is what’s keeping people from having friends. They just have online friends and think that’s good enough

As a whole. If you look at the stats, suicide rates, homelessless, mental health, alienation/disenfranchisement, incarceration, and college enrollment/drop out numbers, men are struggling as a whole. Never said society hates men, I said they cater to womens issues and their plight over males. A good example of this is at universities, who on average put in more resources and assistance for female students over males. Corporations do the same.

It's pushing up one group by pushing down the other. And yes this has an effect on all of us.

Not saying womens issues don't matter, I just think there needs to be more of an effort for boys/young men (especially men of color) because western society clearly has a very big issue in that regard. Most people these days have naturally adopted a female centric worldview (especially on ktt) and is being pushed in every facet of our culture. for instance how you responded by saying "women dont feel safe at night", just because they don't "FEEL" safe doesn't mean they aren't safe. that is female centric perspective because you place how they feel over the fact of that actually happening is statistically low.

you hit the nail on the head with this

I must say, it’s so baffling to me how most people seem totally incapable of having empathy for BOTH genders at the same time.

nowadays, it’s like you can’t stand up for women without bashing men. and you can’t empathize with men’s issues without somebody saying “fuck that” and pointing out how women are the real victims. like at the end of the day, this s*** doesn’t benefit anyone

men need women. women need men. people need people. all this uplifting one half of the human population at the expense of the other is so f***ing played out but that’s just the world we live in unfortunately

what men would rather have online friends than real life friends?

in my experience, people have online friends by default bc they can’t find anyone to connect with in real life.

maybe this depends on where you live, but there’s just not much opportunity out there for men to bond with each other in real life outside of maybe sports. especially with covid f***ing up everything for the last 2 years

it might be bc I live in a small city but even when I go on meetup to find some new s*** to do and people to meet, there’s nothing going on

we’re truly living in a dark age

Would rather = it’s easier, are not making the effort in real life

There’s tons of communities you can find and make friends at

Some people say they can’t connect with people, is that really true or do they just put themselves down and think that they are soooo different from everyone else? Or do they have an extreme ego to believe everyone is just not at their wit?

As for close friends yeah it’s gonna be hard to do that after college. Someone like me doesn’t want anymore close friends because I have enough. I don’t have the time nor want the time to hang or whatever.

You can make friends in any community, though. Just be open and not shy. Usually people just be smokin with people from work to make friendships. That’s how it goes now, usually.
