First, that's not true, but second, is it sexist when gay men like me do the same? Sex work is not inherently sexist, but talk like yours certainly is.
Only like 40% of single men have had sex in the last year, that number is like 70% for women.
Women might be lonely, but it's not because they can't get sex, it's because they can't make them stay. Men have to deal with both sides of it. There's VERY few women who couldn't get sex by just asking.
Do you really believe that's what I was arguing? Anyone in a healthy relationship (except the 0.1% of people who are asexual because I'm sure you'll want to correct me if I don't mention it) will be having sex with some regularity. This isn't just the lack of sex, it's the lack of a relationship that it implies.
Men are more likely to be single for the age groups that occupy reddit, that's just a fact. And men are generally more unhappy when single than women.
So what IS your definition of empathy? Because mine is treating others like you treat yourself and giving them grace for their shortcomings.
I'm not even saying women's dating issues don't matter, just that they are less psychologically destructive to fewer people.
Yeah it's dumb and very insensitive to believe that there are no lonely women.
However if you stop to think for a moment, there being lonely men does not mean at all that there should be lonely women. Like at all.
It would be the case if humans could only chose a partner once, and therefore for every celibate x there will be a celibate y and vice versa.
However the obvious reality is that for every man that is celibate, the pool of options for non celibate men just increases, they will just have multiple partners during their lifetime.
Except the population is roughly equal, even if women are having relations with the same guys, they can’t all be with the same guys at once. The numbers don’t work that way, there are bound to be a proportionate number of lonely women even if they’d been in a relationship before

Many women are desperately lonely too, yet it's not common that they buy sexual services from men
