I worry about the quality of men.

For much of my life, and particularly the last couple years, I have felt lonely, and when I heard about the Male Loneliness Epidemic, it grabbed me immediately... until I realized it was a RedPill thing.

So how does a regular man talk about his loneliness online these days without being swept up in the baggage of internet discourse?

This is an essay, a confessional, and pretty funny... I think. I don't have all the answers, and may not have any of them, but after absorbing Adolescence, Inside the Manosphere, and countless essays and articles, I feel like I have something of substance to add. For some reason, I didn't include a section about having moved to Montreal knowing very few people, or about how in October of last year, my mental health crashed, leading to me isolating and exacerbating my agoraphobia, having only begun to recover in March. Oh well. May it be of some help.

It also features: Macho Man Randy Savage, Kratos, The Sopranos, and Emma Stone.

Also, I couldn't have written this without the inspiration of a bunch of YouTubers and their wonderful essays. Have a look:
