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

Is the male loneliness epidemic not generally understood to be the first thing? Also platonic female friends are actually the best.

Their "advice" that they gave out is "be enjoyable" ... some real big brain stuff

It's the "works on my machine" of social interaction. I have never received a less useful piece of information.
