I think that this sort of thing is more likely to make loneliness worse, not better.

> Girls have easy options for immediate companionship - just jump on any dating app and swipe right once.

What? I suppose so, if what you're thinking of is just hooking up without concern for partner quality. If, however, what they want is an actual companion, it's no easier for women than for men (and I've heard many women make persuasive cases that it's harder for women.)

> make persuasive cases that it's harder for women.

What are some examples of that?

[JohnFen]

I've heard several different complaints, but probably the most common one is that it's hard for women to find compatible men who are interested in real relationships. Most men seem to just want hookups, not taking the time needed to build something with substance.

This isn't a complaint I hear men make about women.

Yeah, men (in the generalisation sense) could indeed have different complaints from women.

But that's not proof that the claim by women that things are harder for them is true. :/
