So Gen-Z incel infuencer brought the male loneliness epidemic concept, I understand that for many people loneliness isn’t a blessing, and know that it feel better to sleep in the arm of someone loving you than alone.

However, if I remember my English class, single women were mostly banned from immigrating to the US, and men were the one travelling to the far-west, so I expect a pretty bad gender-ratio, with many single men How was it managed at the time ? Did it led to societal scale problem ?

    Never conflate loneliness with not getting laid. Thereby lies the first in a long streak of mistakes.

      yep. the popular read on male lonliness skips over the detail that a huge chunk of these men are in relationships.

      they are just in relationships with people who don’t care about them, and are aware of it. which, for me personally, is far worse than being actually alone.
