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
Have you seen the reaction these "male loneliness epidemic" guys have when a girl says they just want to be friends? Sorry, but there's no way you're trying to pass it off as "no it's not about sex guys really they just want close friends and rainbows" with a straight face.
Has it ever occurred to you that bad actors could be hijacking something to use it for their own nefarious purposes? It happens all the time.
Bad actors? Hijacking? The hell are you talking about?
Ever heard of Ben Shapiro? Steven Chowder? Tim Pool? Charlie Kirk? They're all insanely dishonest pieces of shit. They and other shitty fascist conservatives use the loneliness epidemic to try and say, "see? the liberals want you to be lonely! They hate trad wives and want women working!" etc etc etc, as if most women could magically decide to not work in this hellscape economy. As if it wasn't mostly conservatives keeping wages low which removes the ability for single-income homes in the first place.
They're all dishonest pieces of shits trying to divide the populace further. They offer no truths, only convenient lies to further rile people up.
Fully agree.
What loneliness epidemic?
Also fully agree.
What epidemic!? Are you seriously that fucking ignorant while trying to comment in this conversation? Why are you insisting on eating your own foot so hungrily?
Consider providing a source better than a random screenshot from a Tumblr post, then.
Your ignorance does not become my extra requirement to fix.
So no source? Nice try, but it's quite obvious you're trying to dodge the absolute lack of evidence for this pathetic "epidemic".
Your denial only makes you more pathetic.
Still no source, huh? No way! It's such a totally real epidemic! I'm sure you're full of evidence
So... You know literally nothing about this topic at all and just want to lump it all together with incels, got it.
Still avoiding linking that source, huh? There are better ways to try and hide the fact you can't find a good one.

They never said it wasn't about sex. They want sex and....
Girls want sex and... too
Relationship stuff is just very hard. It's like one of the few real things in this world.
Sure...? how does that fit in with incels and male loneliness epidemic exactly?
How doesn't it? Unless male the loneliness epidemic is only an issue with gay men, but I thought it was for all men.
I said male loneliness epidemic is not about friends. Your counter is "women like sex too!" which yes... are you suggesting they should stop choosing who to have sex with and accept guys to fix this supposed epidemic? I assume not, for the sake of your own mental sanity.
In which case what's even your point? Women like sex, the sky is blue, I ate rice today at lunch...?
What I am saying is that your comment here:
Is not was not the person's argument. They said:
Which is what I was calling out in my original reply to you:
So your comment doesn't address my original reply to the comment, nor your own quotes. Congrats.
No it does, you just can't read.
Seriously, how dumb are you? Honest question
