Are men OK? The consensus from all kinds of far flung corners of the internet seems to be no. If there is one thing that Andrew Tate fanboys and ardent feminists agree on, it's that they aren't very good at this whole relationship business. This doesn't only apply to the thorny subject of love, either. Male friendships are also a contentious topic.

It's a pretty well-known stereotype that men are not so in touch with their friends, but it appeared to be proved in reality when one woman took to the internet to complain about how this had affected her boyfriend. Claiming that she had planned an extravagant 30th birthday celebration for him but none of the twenty friends she had invited were available, she broke down with disappointment in front of the camera.

It wasn't long before this video attracted controversy. Some questioned her need to publicize this information, while others connected it to the wider trend of the loneliness crisis. No doubt some of his social circle are regretting their RSVP.
