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

    No, it’s neither. They were drawing a similarity between the advice given in the post and the advice given in the video. That is, that it sounds obvious to people who say it, but it’s condescending and dismissive and in practice it doesn’t really help

      So the video is just a girl saying “If your homeless, just buy a house” the video isn’t even giving out any tips.

      So if OP was saying, “If your single, just get a partner”, then you would be correct. But they are not saying that. They are actually giving useful advice to someone who is new to dating and possibly looking for advice.

      Am I wrong? If so, how?
