There have always been those guys, but not nearly as many. Society has been breaking down and atomizing for generations. 80 years ago most young men were married, still lived in the towns they grew up in, had parents and aunts and uncles around, etc. 30 years ago most men still had several close friends they could talk to. No longer.

Men appear to have suffered a far steeper decline than women. Thirty years ago, a majority of men (55 percent) reported having at least six close friends. Today, that number has been cut in half. Slightly more than one in four (27 percent) men have six or more close friends today. Fifteen percent of men have no close friendships at all, a fivefold increase since 1990.

But yes, having examples in the media is another part of the problem.
