when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Wait, it's about not getting laid and not a lack of bonding and friendship? Oh yeah absolutely a skill issue. Try treating women like humans and show empathy. It works pretty darn well.

The internet gives everyone mental health issues, especially adolescents and especially women.

It does so largely because it distracts away our attention from our natural environment, and also because the internet is largely very toxic, if one considers social media platforms like Instagram and Xitter. Both of these effects lead to a surge in anxiety, depression and related diseases.

It is no wonder then, that these adolescents and young adults don't want to engage in relationships anymore. That leads to a loss of self-esteem (because being attractive to others is a large source of self-esteem), which troubles the mental health condition even more.

The best way forward would be if large parts of the society ditch social media altogether. Xitter is becoming a propaganda instrument more and more, day by day, and there's simply no use exposing a large part of the society, which has no critical thinking skills, to the non-stop mind-manipulating brainwashing machine that large parts of the internet nowadays are.
