I frequently hear about people talk about the loneliness epidemic in young men (often in the context that young men are having less sex/dating and getting married less than previous generations). But wouldn't this also be true for women? Women logically would also be having less sex/dating less if men are (unless they are lesbian).
Although men are more likely to die from suicide (because of the more effective methods they use, like firearms), women are more likely to attempt it and are more likely to suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and PTSD and be prescribed medication for it. How come I never see anyone bring this up? The focus seems to be mainly on men's loneliness and mental health struggles, although women arguably suffer from it more, statistically speaking (not that they aren't both important; this is purely from a statistical point of view).
Edit: I also read that women are more likely than men to request MAID (assisted suicide) for mental illness, so this might increase women's suicide rates where assisted suicide for mental illness is legal. (Canada hasn't approved MAID for mental illness yet, but they will implement it starting in 2027.)
I've always asked why women don't seem to mind being in the friend zone but men do. What's shameful about being a friend? Why is it a position to avoid? Why is it so strange to have platonic relationships or for someone to not want to bone you.
I've discovered this is the genuine reason so many more men think it's impossible for a woman to have male friends than women do. Always the "they just waiting for their chance". It's because so many are themselves like that. Orbiters. And don't see any value in someone that doesn't benefit them in some way. Too much of "what can you give me" and if they don't give them what they want, they aren't worth it. I've found it's easier to be friends with women because they aren't looking for what you can offer them. Just who you are as a person.
The slut shaming is the wildest thing to me. I've seen the same men that slut shame and care about body count, complain about men's loneliness and women not shacking up or settling down anymore. Or women wanting too much for a date that doesn't involve sex. What did you want to happen? So have less sex or be a virgin but still put out for you and all the lonely men? Be a high value woman with standards but don't let those standards affect men? Make it make sense
