| 1 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyIt makes sense to me. Why would I go to someone else's house just to do what I was already doing at my own house? There's only so much you can do at someone's house before it gets boring. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/24 05:18 AM |

| 3 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyThis is my reality. Even as far back as my childhood, I'd try all the time to go outside, but there were never any other kids to play with out there, so I was forced back indoors. Things aren't any different as an adult. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 05:30 PM |

| 6 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyDying in your 60s is not optimal. There's a reason we evolved living in tribes; it was necessary for survival. That's why loneliness exists. It's meant to motivate us to find a tribe, because if we don't, we die. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 04:19 PM |

| 3 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyI don't know where to FIND a social circle. Every hobby I've tried has been empty and I don't have the money to keep going if I'm not going to meet anyone there. I can't afford to keep driving 10 miles to empty places. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 04:05 AM |
| 3 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyI went to school, but nobody lived near me, so I had no way of seeing them outside of school.

| 5 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyIt seems quite a lot of kids and teenagers miss the window to develop their social skills and close friendships And no, a lot of them just never get the opportunity. Where I grew up, there were never any other kids outside. I had no one to play with, so my only option was to stay inside, because whenever I did go outside, I couldn't do anything out there because I was the only one out there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:59 AM |
| 3 | The fact that 61% of all adults in the US are lonely clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the individual, it's a problem with societyI already barely spend time online. I spent most of my time out and about and still can't find anyone. My friends all vanished after high school and I have no way of contacting them. I tried the hobby club, but it's always empty. The last thing I need is even more work, I'm overworked as is. And I'm not religious. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:54 AM |

| 1 | "Just have a huge social circle" is as pointless advice as "just be attractive"The issue is that do leave the house a lot, but I can't find anyone anywhere. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:08 AM |
| 1 | "Just have a huge social circle" is as pointless advice as "just be attractive"I can't control the fact that people are narcissistic assholes who bullied and abused me for no reason. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:07 AM |
| 1 | "Just have a huge social circle" is as pointless advice as "just be attractive"That goes both ways; if society doesn't owe me anything, that also means I don't owe it anything. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:06 AM |
| 1 | "Just have a huge social circle" is as pointless advice as "just be attractive"Sex s a human need. Not having it causes health problems. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:02 AM |

| 1 | what is this notion "society" is supposed to magically "create" spaces for you to socialize if youre an abnormal teetotaller who cant just do what everyone has always done socially?Young people are not choosing to stay home. Even when they do go out, a lot of them struggle to find anyone else their age. Money is also a factor. Staying home costs nothing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/11/23 04:34 PM |
| 1 | what is this notion "society" is supposed to magically "create" spaces for you to socialize if youre an abnormal teetotaller who cant just do what everyone has always done socially?They're chronically online BECAUSE they are isolated. The isolation came first. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/11/23 04:30 PM |

| 1 | I really doubt the "male loneliness epidemic" is such a big dealAlone and lonely are two separate things. You ca be surrounded by people and still be feel lonely. In fact, lonely people often feel WORSE when they're around people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/10/23 03:16 AM |
| 1 | I really doubt the "male loneliness epidemic" is such a big dealThis assumes that they have friends in the first place. Most lonely people don't have friends (and in many cases, have never had friends), so it's not a matter of "not talking to your friends". You can't talk to people that don't exist. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/23 07:24 AM |
| 1 | I really doubt the "male loneliness epidemic" is such a big dealLoneliness is not self imposed at all, and has nothing to do with being in a group or not. You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. Lonely =/= alone. Loneliness is a mismatch between a person's desired relationships and the ones they actually have. Furthermore, things were not like in this in the past. In the past, forming connections did not take effort. You just lived your life and these things happened naturally. It was the default, and it took more effort to be isolated. Nowadays… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/23 03:41 AM |
| – | "Male loneliness epidemic" only exist if you measure men to the standards of women.That's not what we prefer, it's the only choice we have. I DO get off my ass and go out into the world, and I still don't make any friends. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/23 03:37 AM |
