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
Ahh yes...... The second statement is made without any regard to the context of first statement.
If that's the case, what's wrong with advising men who aren't getting laid to focus on self improvement?
Sooo.... If you are all so lonely, I suggest you be friends. You already have a bunch in common. Then you'd have no reason to blame everyone else for your inability to build meaningful relationships! Some how I don't think you're just looking for male companionship.....
Yeah... But I don't rely solely on my wife for companionship. It's not exactly healthy to be emotionally codependent.
Besides a closer physical intimacy.... Not really. My best friend and his wife are very dear to me and I would share anything with them that I would share with my wife.
Idk, kinda seems like he tries to misdirect all his issues to the fact that he doesn't have a partner. It's really not abnormal to be single, especially now a days.
