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. There you’re addressing friendship and in the rest of the comment you imply that its easy to find a partner by meeting a very low bar.

          “ It’s not that they can easily find a partner if they meet a few requirements it’s that lacking those requirements makes dating much harder ”
