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

Nope. Not as we age. All my friends moved away, started families, or changed to the point we have nothing in common anymore.

And once you are 30+ it’s really really hard to form close friendships. At best you get to form very tangential/shallow ones.

I really don’t think age has much to do with it. I’m in my 30s and honestly find it easier since people are more adult at this age. People are less likely to play stupid games

  speak for yourself. my experience is it’s way harder and people are way more stupid and judgemental. nobody cared what car i drove. now people find out I ‘only’ own a Honda and they want nothing to do with me anymore because i am ‘not doing well in life’ if i don’t own luxury car.

    At some point, I got quite some worried/pitiful look because i didn’t own a car but only a (non-motorized) bike. People are weird!
    
    In the other hand, I got along with people wanting to make our own “bike gang”, aka commuting to work together.

    It doesn’t sound like you’re surrounding yourself with the best people. They sound quite superficial
