I find it curious that the "loneliness epidemic" is always framed in relation to dating, marriage, sex. Don't these lonely people have family members like parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc that they can spend time and bond with? What about friends? It seems there's a call for women to come and fill in all the family and social gaps that these men are CHOOSING to leave void, and fill it in with what exactly - sex? Are these men expecting these women to provide them with a full social life? To take the place parents, siblings and friends should be occupying?

I don't get it.
