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 mean, you really don’t even have to be that interesting, you just have to be non-repulsive and maybe a little bit compassionate and empathetic.

        Lol, exactly my point. But I agree that “male loneliness” doesn’t have to do with not getting laid. Idk what the person in the screenshot is talking about, I just found the last comment about trying to get laid funny.

      Making friends in order to get laid? Yeah no. I have female friends and thanks god i did not befriend them with any sexual intentions. It is kind of funny that people pretend there is some kind of strategy to having sex when its basically: Showing interest at an appropriate level and this interest getting returned. Not much more to it.
