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

    Yes but there’s an existing stereotype of men who want nothing but to get laid, that’s why it’s relevant in this case. Context matters

    Edit: THEY EXIST. Doesn’t mean all men are like that. You guys are too sensitive lol. I’m thinking pickup artists and other guys who completely objectify women.

        I didn’t mean to apply it to all men. I’m talking about guys that focus on “pickup artists”, the numbers game, it’s all about making women into a prize to achieve, which is not the right mindset to go about it.

        That’s all I meant. I’m not calling you that.
