This discussion wasn't about causes, ergo nothing was ignored. It just wasn't the point. How women can best support men while they work on their crisis of masculinity was the point here.

This wasn't a free standing article. It's a comment thread. A focus on one aspect.

You're that guy, coming to a woman to validate the pain you feel with your wounded masculinity and begging for a cookie.

I can't fix dating apps for you or give you a secret code to make whatever woman you're lusting after put out. I can't wave a magic wand and give you an attractive personality. I can't fix your wounded heart. I can't give you the right priorities and I can't make you think beyond dipping your wick. I can't fix the damage these apps have done to women and now to men.

I can recommend you get off of them.

I don't have a cookie for you.

There is a discussion to be had about your concerns. But that's with your male support network. I hope you have one, or will choose to join/build one to help you through.
