Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:
when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue
to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence
I feel like, as an average white ~40 year old guy in a major city, getting dates and sex wasn’t that hard. But from what I’ve heard, the bar is extremely low. Like, all the woman I talk to (and the men who date men) have horror stories.
I think my worst dates were like… they mildly insulted me.
Neither of those come close to, like, various threats, violence, boundary breaking, and unsolicited dick picks that seem too common.
I’ve had three women cheat on me, one threaten to shoot me, one tell me “no you don’t understand, this is going to happen” when I attempted to refuse sex (which would be called rape if the genders were swapped but legally women can’t rape in my area so it was “just” sexual assault), one cry and threaten suicide if I ever wasn’t in the mood, and one that stalked me for months.
I’m glad you’re having a good time, but women aren’t God’s Perfect Little Creatures, they also do bad shit too.
Damn, dude, learn to identify red flags.
Workin’ on it lol.
Though, would you tell that to women who has had bad experiences with men? Food for thought.
