You just have to be a bit firmer with them about not being available to help them sort out their problems. Maybe you could approach it with humor and tell them it's getting to be a problem with a whole bunch of them confessing their angst to you. This might keep it light and make them laugh when they realize it's not just them.
What she said.

If these guys would put half the energy back into their relationships that they do into attempting to get emotionally intimate with others ( and that's what they are doing whether you want to call it that or not....) they'd have much better relationships.

To me it's a clear case of needing to set boundaries. You don't have to let them unload on you. There are plenty of kind ways to do a redirect.
