Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?

I kind of assume it’s the juxtaposition of “I as a white man have immense social privilege” with “I can’t get anyone to play with me”. Like, other people are worried about being abducted on the street and you’re sad you can’t play basketball with your bros?
The sadness of loneliness can be real but in contrast to other things it can feel like it needs to be triaged into a lower priority. And then some men lose their shit over that, which makes people take them less seriously.

most white men don’t have much social privileged.
it’s only the top 5-10% who have the privledge

For example, white men will generally have an easier time in public spaces. Police and shops are less likely to bother them.
privilege doesn’t mean “you have a yacht” or “you’re rich”

and if you’re black/Hispanic and you dress in a suit they won’t bother you either.
but if you’re white and tattooed and look homeless, they will.
It’s about class.
