    I’m confused. Are women on social media interfering on man-to-man friendships?

    No, male culture has changed far more due to propaganda, etc.

    Your first hint that this is a naive take is that you’re brushing off a societal issue to a single, external factor.

    Men that have been captured by the “alpha” and “masculinity” culture don’t realize that it makes them fucking radioactive. They are literally the reason why women choose the bear. Boys thinking that they have to be hyperbolic, over-aggressive, possessive, manipulative assholes in order to be a “man” are the exact reason that they are lonely.

    These men don’t have a god given right to just “have” a girlfriend.

  Macho culture existed long before the loneliness. It’s a different kind of macho culture now that is detrimental.

  Previous generations had less destructive outlets for machismo than boys of today. Being part of a sports team meant that you had an outlet and a group that you shared common goals with.
