Not everyone was meant to have six packs. Just gonna have to suck it up and make yourself interesting in other ways. Like having a big ween

But, at the same time, many of us know – often firsthand – that lonely men are dangerous. On one end of the spectrum, Nice Guys™ who feel entitled to a woman’s attention are prone to lashing out when they’re gently let down. On the other end, incels often turn to violence – as was the case with Plymouth shooter Jake Davidson last year. With this in mind – paired with the worrying rising popularity of misogynistic social media personalities like Andrew Tate – does this news that men are increasingly lonely mean that we can expect to see increasing numbers of radicalised misogynists?

Misogyny is ultimately a societal problem, one that will take years to address. But if, on an individual level, we’re feeling confident enough to swipe left on men who don’t know how to load a dishwasher? For now, at least, I’ll take that.
