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
No, it's actually the first but being shoved aside and ignored as the second.
Also the ableism of calling it a "skill issue" and disregarding people with depression and social anxiety.
I had trouble dating because I would have to get up and go to the bathroom every 5 minutes because I was sick from anxiety. That makes it a little hard to be "enjoyable and relaxing".
