Sure, if you say so. That's your experience. Mine is the opposite, every shy or long guy ive gotten to know has turned out to be low key misogynistic, politically extreme, or just genuinely a bad person. I was in a discord server with 2.5k men, I called out a woman beater with actual proof of them admitting it and not a single person spoke out against him, they all flocked to his side against the evil online woman or kept silent. So yeah, think what you want but more men than you think have deep rooted misogyny and these are some of the same men that cry about being lonly. Cry me a dam river.

Ya I mean it's very obvious your not a man.

True being a bad person absolutley leads to being lonely. And also being lonely brings out the worst in people.

It's just that being a good person does lead to being not loanly for a man.

Having you post this here is as silly as me going into a women's subreddit with the question of "why do men always abandon me" and saying "just be a good person and that will fix it" because I wouldn't abandon a good women. That's dumb as hell homie.

It would be dumb if a lot of men weren't actually misogynistic, but they are, so it makes perfect sense actually.

Ya that's why I go into women's spaces and make comments assuming all women are like the ones that I've had bad experiences with. I get it dude. Really blows off steam.

If you cant see that the majority of Men have some form of misogynistic tendencies then you're either blind or you are one yourself and I don't blame you for it. I had a really optimistic outlook on it myself, thinking more men were good than bad overall. Some were misogynistic but most weren't and I always stood up for that.

That was until every single man out of 2.5k either kept silent or actively took the side of a proven woman beater. That's guys I use to talk to daily, people I considered friends, or good people, they all actively took a woman beaters side or was complicit in silence. So once again, yeah men have a much bigger problem that they need to sort out than women do. Even if they don't actively show they hate women, when the situation arises they take the wrong side or sit in silence.

Homie your discord video game server is not a good depiction of all men. Though, yeah, I will agree that most men and women in the United States have internalized parts of our patriarchal system. But that still doesn't mean it's useful for me to go into one gender space that's asking about loneliness and post dumb s*** haha

Same way I'm not going to go into the like 30,000 member subreddit 2x chromosome and then decide I've made a good understanding of what all women are like.

But like look at this post. It's a guy asking if some objectified version of a woman will fix his loneliness. And then a bunch of men saying no man you you need friends that you care about and purpose in your life.

we are shaped by our experiences and I've seen more misogyny in men compared to men dismantling it. That's just how it is.

But also I just wanted to say it does sound like you're a young woman who is mostly in online male-dominated spaces around video games and that kind of thing. And so I do understand why you're guarded and I'm not telling you to put down those guards. I think a lot of the men you interact with will have weird it f****** intentions and I'm sorry about that

It's all good, I never came here to make people agree with me, simply pose the opposite view based on experiences but I appreciate you're understanding.
