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

if you walk around with a maga hat and tell women your body my choice and also complain you can’t find a nice women to settle down

That's an absurd stereotype that obviously doesn't apply to the vast majority of lonely men, though.

Maybe the skill issue is in not realizing that.

P.S. Also, there are plenty of married couples who are both MAGA, and I myself had no shortage of single MAGA women popping up on dating apps when I was single who made it crystal clear they weren't interested in anyone who wasn't also MAGA, also anti-vax, etc.

P.P.S. Looked it up, and there are literally over two left-wing singles for every one right-wing:

Marital Status Leaning Example Partisan Split (Historical Survey Data)
Married Republican Roughly 35% Republican, 32% Democrat
Unmarried Democratic Roughly 19% Republican, 41% Democrat

P.P.P.S. 'Your body my choice' was a meme for like three weeks.
