It’s a common form of humor to acknowledge difficult things in a light hearted way. You can laugh whilst simultaneously feeling sympathy. Laughter doesn’t always have to be at somebody’s expense, it can also come from a place of solidarity.
Some things can be blamed on the economy — not this. This is a matter of making first things first and not blaming others for our own short comings.
This is connected to economy and politics. Neoliberalism, to be exact. Rugged individualism, individual responsibility, every man for himself… The same myths used for concentrating wealth into teeny tiny minority and making masses poorer, are also making us lonely and isolated.
We are pack animals, we have survived for hundreds of thousands of years (millions if you count non-sapient ancestors) by building communes and taking care of eachother.
You realize that humans and gorillas have very different social dynamics? Can we drop the stupid pseudoscience?
It’s more that before, women couldn’t get fucking bank accounts or hold most jobs, which meant that marriage for them was a matter of survival. Now, women are able to support themselves and get to choose whether they want to be in relationships are not.
Not funny in any way and sad in so many.
Commentary about how isolated men are?
Or commentary that men have become so ineffectual that they cannot create a single meaningful relationship that evolves to the hug level?

I don’t think it’s supposed to be funny.

Yeah, all of this is true.

We have ALWAYS had to have game.
The weak chimp could not get any quim.
The toughest chimp/gorilla became boss and literally had a harem.
I’m not sure what you are arguing for here.
I just want to inspire people to employ their “if at first you don’t succeed…” muscle. That’s all. Paying for intimacy is giving up.
And also… intimacy cannot be had in any kind of economic transaction.
Satisfaction? Yes.
Intimacy? No.

My audience is not women. It’s men.
I think it’s a comment about this artists need for affection more then a commentary about men in general.
Well, yes. But I do know a lot of men in their early twenties who just don’t know how to be… forgive me… but smooth, relaxed, casual with women.
