@batchofcookies that's true! You should leave space for the feeling of isolation and being alone and help other people cope with that, especially in the age of neoliberalism. However, if you're looking for advice and listen to Tate ramble for hours, you can't really say that you're not interested in getting a lesson. You want a way to fulfill your desires exactly how you imagine that being done, not have explained what your desires mean and how you can fulfill them best.

Still, I believe that this is a lesson in male entitlement, because whenever men complain about never getting a compliment or feeling so alone all the time, I just gotta ask: when have you given someone a compliment? When have you opened up about these feelings on your friend group? How often do you have belittled someone for sharing these feelings? Lots of men want their entire emotional coping mechanism, sex toy, and caretaker in a relationship, when in reality their social circle should help them out first, they should be able to mainly take care of themselves, and sex is maybe something that can be done with a partner.

If you've never been in a relationship and feel lonely, the first thing you should want after realizing you're not alone in that sadness, is advice. Advice from people who begin by asking you what you want, instead of blurting out something that'll just repeat the cycle of loneliness.
