That depends upon your solution. When the solution to solving the problem of male loneliness is suggested to be more attention from women or that women teach them skillsets they never valued in the dirsr place and still don't (broad strokes) then your peoposes solution is in fact more harm heaoed on women. Especially considering that the reason men ended up so lonely in the first place is because they left the traditional means of dating behind to adopt manipulative, coercive, harassing ways of trying to get a date (constant pursuit of sex) actually is a perpetuation of and increase of rape culture. Add to that, those same men (broad strokes) have signalled a continuing desire and commitment to double down on that culture. Even so called more rational and logical men have attached themselves to the idea that men have to pursue.

No you don't. That's a choice. Just like choosing to enlist knowing you might be sent to war, just like choosing dangerous jobs over less prestigious (to male dominance thinking), just like choosing to not follow safety rules or advocate for focus on safety in those jobs. Just like choosing to date a "traditional" woman just so you can place yourself in a place of primacy. You could choose to share the mantle of provider and protector with those who are already doing half or more of that work. The women.

All the things that men are supposedly discriminated for. Not only are those things driven and created by men, they are chosen by men because you all have other choices that will not cost you anything but a perceived lessening of status amongst other men that is and always has been an illusion. Instead, men (broad strokes) blame women for the discontent in life they chose or you convince yourselves that it's just like the discrimination everyone else faces.
