finally an optimistic yet moving piece on the male loneliness epidemic, which imo has largely been ignored. worthwhile (long) read about this dude ranch retreat that combines the cowboy lifestyle with empathy training for men to learn applied emotional intelligence. thoughts? gq.com/story/confident-man-ranch-profile

Literally the opposite. This is a stupid label that tries to group the worst 1% with the rest This term only contributes to the epidemic.

for instance, notice how you here disagree with my opinion completely — and i actively try to explain my opinion to you, instead of dismissing you like i did with the person advocating for aggression above this is because you haven't shown toxic attitude in your message, and i'm thankful for that
