Male Lonliness Epidemic?

[Unkotare]

I've been hearing that there is some kind of disparity between young men and women in terms of "lonliness." Is this a real thing? I'm not so sure.

It's why some guys live with their parents till their 30s.

Is that lonliness, or lack of options?

I really think the options are really bad these days.
Course there are always options, but the way girls are brought up in the United States is really bad.
It's very difficult to find anyone in the US these days that is......you know......nice.
Someone you can trust.
Someone who isn't out to screw you out of your money, or bring a new set of problems (or rotten kids) into your life.

I've been out of the dating game for so long.....so it's a bit of a scary thought to me.

Unless your buddies are the Waltons.

The assumption in America is you're a loser.

The assumption in America is you're a loser.

Used to be, but it doesn't seem to carry that stigma nowadays.

 

[mudwhistle]

What makes you think that?

You sound like a shrink.

The way I think is a product of my environment.

 

[mudwhistle]

Used to be, but it doesn't seem to carry that stigma nowadays.

It did when I left home.

I left home for good when I turned 18.

My sister didn't leave till she was almost 30.

She still has a son in his late 40s who lives downstairs that is borderline retarded.

Do you harbor resentment of your mother?

Used to be, but it doesn't seem to carry that stigma nowadays.

I would like to have a situation where my relatives were all close enough to drive in an hour or two like when I was living in Montana.

Right now all of my brothers and sisters are spread all over the US.

My parents are both gone.

Times change, I guess.

Some.

All of my living immediate relatives live within 5-10 minutes of each other.

 

[Unkotare]

Some.

Forget I asked.
