26-year-old woman asks out her 'never been kissed' male friend after weeks of him complaining about being single, rejects her and makes fun of her with his male friends: 'I have found him cute for months yet he thinks he's ugly'

People discuss the "male loneliness epidemic" from so many different angles. It's easy for some to blame the poor social skills and introverted tendencies of Generation Z men on them not being able to find a partner. Some might argue that framing this as a problem that harms men only downplays the difficulty all single people face in dating in the digital age. Some wholeheartedly believe in the tenets of incel ideology: that women are hypergamous and only want to date the hottest men in the world, while normies get cheated on and ugly guys stay alone forever. This conversation has a lot of nuance, and none of it gets solved by assuming the worst of any one gender. 

A Gen-Z woman consciously tried to help solve the male loneliness epidemic by asking out her lonely male friend, whom she'd been eyeing for a while. When he rejected her, she took to Reddit to share her complex feelings.
