It's not easy being a man, but that doesn't invalidate your feelings about cis white males

I’m a man and I’m not lonely. I want people to leave me the fuck alone

Wanting to be left alone and being lonely are not mutually exclusive. It’s entirely possible to be both soul-crushingly lonely and simultaneously wanting to be left alone.

It’s also entirely possible to be extremely lonely despite being in a group or crowd.

I think male loneliness is complex and a lot of the suggestions people make, particularly women, aren’t very helpful because of that complexity.

How can I be lonely if I have the poor poor trans babies to fight for?

Well of course, you will always have your poor, poor trans babies to keep you company.

And, once they find out the about the babies, I'm sure the FBI will be along right quick to keep him company as well :D.

I think for men our experience with most interactions are similar to what women experience with approaches from men.

That is to say, pretty much any time people talk to us, it's because they want something. Men learn to appreciate solitude because it's when we are not being called on for something.

That doesn't mean we don't get lonely, we just prefer solitude to obligation.
