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
I've definitely been there quite a few times. I can get by romantically, but sometimes I just don't have the energy. Finding someone you mesh with can be exhausting.
I have a handful friends of varying genders who seem to be in similar boats. I can't be sure as I haven't asked. It seems like the current options are inadequate for a good chunk of people.
