Don't know if you guys noticed but there has been a lot of posts lately of people despairing over how lonely they are. Stuff in the vein of: "When am I going to meet a girl" or "Why can't I find true love". All of the people who posted threads like these were guys though. Could this be because woman are better emotionally equipped to deal with loneliness or not so inclined to openly bemoan their situation? Do guys feel loneliness more acutely? What do you guys think are the causes? You can debate it in the comments.

Girls can get a guy easily, especially when it comes to sex. (just harder for girls to find a good and serious guy for a relationship). But it's harder for guys to find a girl for relationships or sex. So more lonely guys than girls.

Men are ready an eager but so are a lot of women if they are just looking for sex. I think as far as gender goes both struggle in finding people to have relationships with. I don't think women are necessarily better equipped to handle loneliness. I can only speak for myself and I have been single & alone most my life so I think I'm better equipped for it because I've gotten used to it. But I go through rough patches where it's harder to deal with. Like this time of year especially I wish I had a significant other. The nights are more romantic... *shrug*

Tbh vampire neko was right girls can get with anyone cause if your some ugly guy who has never had a gf in your life let alone touched anything but yourself would you really turn down a girl that just jumped in front of you? Guys its much harder if your not handsome with a nice personality and nice job most likely it would be harder...and socializing plays a big part in finding someone

I think it's the fact that this site has more guys than girls in it, also the girls here are in general less inclined to make posts asking for otaku bfs lol. I don't think women handle loneliness better, I think it's just as hard for them xD For girls, there's more societal pressure to be in a serious relationship, whereas for guys there's more pressure to get laid lol

It all depends on the person. Some people handle it better than others, and just because people don't talk about it doesn't mean it's there as well. It all depends on their mental state, male or female. Though to be fair it usually is easier for girls to get things such as flings or one night stands(things I'm personally not interested in, but it's a point for those that are), But that doesn't help relationships much.
