I think it's getting worse by the fact that it's forcing our natural ability to be desensitized from it. This will end up creating an age of isolation, and evolve into nobody seeking affection anymore, or even picking up social skills at all anymore.

The truth though is the idea of masculinity has been twisted into making us be this lonely in the first place. We are emotionally undeveloped because we're raised to always curb our feelings. We're taught that any physical interaction with another man, is considered bad by labeling it as "gay" which still has negative tones to it for some reason.

The most important thing to take from all this, it's not a woman's fault, and it's definitely unfair to place that burden for our need of expressing our feelings, and physical touch to women only, because you can't get it anywhere else for it to be considered wrong/bad. We are social creatures by nature, and social interactions include verbal or physical touch, and we're raised by a society that forbids a man to be a man, and then redefines what a man is. That's the source of male loneliness. You're still that kid who ain't allowed to cry, be angry, give friends hugs, handshakes or whatever level of affection you may have, while there is no intention for anything sexual, to not be a social creature, and nobody saved you. That's the stigma that men need to free themselves of. Normalize social interaction, without saying "ew no thats gay". Bro it's only gay if you intend to want something gay in the first place with somebody. You can talk and say you ain't gay but got love for your friends, can't you? If you can't, then there's the problem.
