The post is essentially saying that men don't cope as well because they want sex more. Meanwhile, women can use hobbies and activities (cooking, kids, etc.) to get their minds off being single.
While it may be true in some cases, it all depends on the person. Some women hate being single and will do anything to get with someone, while some men are OK with a solitary life.
Lack of sex has little to do with this, especially since strip clubs are abundant across the world.
Men just need to talk about their relationship problems more often, like women. Bottling up concerns leads to more strain.
I blame this on social stigma. Men who express their concern are not "bitching". Most of the time, they just want some perspective on how to approach the problem.
I've been single for over a year and doing just fine. Lots of friends and family activities, and it helps that I enjoy doing things on my own anyways. But I do have a few friends that need to be in a relationship to feel "normal." Goes both ways I think? And also depends on how independent you are perhaps?
I don't know that it has to do with sex as much as the idea that women (in general) have a lot wider and deeper social networks than men (in general) Some men get most of their emotional support from their SO in a relationship, and when they're not in a relationship they have few people to really discuss things with or to lean on. Their buddies and their families don't really fill that role for them.
I've heard this a lot, but I don't really believe the discrepancy is that huge. I've personally not been in relationships more than I've been in relationships, though right now I am in a very good one. I've always had a group of really good friends that I do things with, and I also have quite a few hobbies that I do solo have kept me occupied, so this does not apply to me at all.

I've only got my own experience of life to go on, but I'm male and being single for long periods has not been an issue for me. Sex especially, I mean, you can just rub one out, drain the poison and the urge goes away. Not having sex isn't like not having food or something, there's a ready-made alternative even if it's not quite as good.
Generally speaking, it tends to be women who desire sex more, once they're in a relationship. When they're not, their libido tends to die down a bit, which makes being single easier to handle. And when their libido doesn't die down, they can take care of themselves. Emotionally, they don't have as hard a time dealing with being single (except for the few who constantly long and whine for a partner). I think there are significantly fewer women than men who go so far as to beat themselves up for being single, allowing it to depress them.
There have been studies done in several countries that consistently show that the happiest people are single women, and married men. Single men are on the bottom, and married women are next-unhappiest.

Strip clubs are for idiots. It's cheaper to just get a prostitute.
You're paying twice as much at a strip club when you could get more for less with an escort.
