  I have a massive amount of respect for not censoring yourself on Charlie Kirk. You're absolutely right, just because someone has passed away doesn't mean we can't talk about how they negatively impacted others. Thank you for sticking to your guns and keeping his segments in tact. I think we can all agree it was the right choice.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4due1utRcs&amp;t=1664">27:44</a> as a woman, being constantly sexualized but rarely romanticized is a horribly empty feeling. Watching these men just want to be sexualized, but never loved, is sending me honestly

  Fun fact, there&apos;s a study from a while ago that shows that misogyny in video games is a skill issue. The better a player is the less likely they are to be toxic to a woman in the game lobby. The worst male players will look up to the better male players in a hierarchical format but if a woman is better than them they&apos;ll lash out as they don&apos;t &quot;belong&quot; in the hierarchy

  Who knew? Hyper-individualism and cut-throat capitalism are not exactly conducive to long-term human connection. Speaking from my experience, I’m a pretty sociable person, but the only person I have a long-term relationship with is my girlfriend. It’s extremely difficult to figure out how to keep friendships going when everyone is just trying to survive. It’s been almost three years since my buddies and I last got together. Male loneliness is just another symptom of a deeper disease at the core of our system.<br><br>Until we build a culture that values connection over competition, this cycle will keep repeating. We deserve a world where friendship isn’t a luxury, but a given.

  Turns out, when I stopped being a self-absorbed asshole, got therapy for my depressive episodes, and in general just started being a more pleasant person to be around, I am not lonely anymore.<br><br>What do you know.

  It&apos;s eternally confusing to me how so many men believe that receiving messages from strangers asking that I sit on their face would alleviate any feelings of loneliness I might have.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4due1utRcs&amp;t=2550">42:30</a> If you look at literature that isn’t even 100 years old, you can already see how different the norms for masculinity used to be. Take The Lord of the Rings, published in 1954–1955. Most of its central characters are men, and yet their friendships are deeply intimate, emotionally expressive, and openly affectionate in ways that many modern readers find surprising.<br><br>Frodo and Sam hold hands, embrace, and speak openly about love and loyalty. Merry and Pippin are physically demonstrative and emotionally intertwined. Aragorn grieves Boromir without embarrassment and tenderly kisses him on the forehead to wish him farewell. <br><br>None of this is presented as a joke, subtext, or a “gotcha”; it’s simply what close friendship looks like. Even the films kept a good portion of that tenderness intact. One of the most moving lines in the entire story is Frodo’s to Sam: “I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.” That is not a world that punishes men for feeling.<br><br>What changed isn’t men, it’s the script we hand them.<br>Somewhere along the way, a narrow, brittle ideal took hold: men should be proud, unflappable, and emotionally silent, even with their closest friends. That’s not tradition; it’s a relatively modern rewrite. <br><br>Earlier public and private writing (novels, letters, memoirs) shows men using the language of care, grief, admiration, even love for one another without shame.<br><br>When we assume “real men don’t show emotion,” we’re not defending history; we’re ignoring it. We’ve flattened the range of male friendship into banter and bravado, then called it timeless. It isn’t. And if a mid-20th-century epic about hobbits and kings can model vulnerability and devotion between men, maybe our present-day culture can afford to make space for it, too.

  I&apos;m a man and I do suffer extremely severely from loneliness (severe social anxiety being my main reason), but I was always weary of going towards those masculinists talking points, they always blame women and that always bothered me, so thanks for the video, now i have a more reliable source of information on the subject

  as a woman i used to cry out of loneliness but i recognised that it was a result of my own actions and i needed to do something. nowadays loneliness is more common for everyone regardless of gender

  I&apos;m glad you&apos;re making an almost 3 hr video talking about this male loneliness situation and also calling out these red pill idiots who are not helping but create more harm by blaming all women for the cause of male loneliness, which is a lie

  the most annoying and frustrating thing about these male podcasters is that they pretend that all these problems exist in isolation. they hone in on one singular scape goat/reason for the current problem and choose to ignore literally every other thing that could be a factor/cause.
