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 said male loneliness epidemic is not about friends. Your counter is “women like sex too!” which yes… are you suggesting they should stop choosing who to have sex with and accept guys to fix this supposed epidemic? I assume not, for the sake of your own mental sanity.

    In which case what’s even your point? Women like sex, the sky is blue, I ate rice today at lunch…?

      What I am saying is that your comment here:

      “no it’s not about sex guys really they just want close friends and rainbows”

      Is not was not the person’s argument. They said:

      It’s way more than a sex issue.

      Which is what I was calling out in my original reply to you:

      They never said it wasn’t about sex.
