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
Most don't blame women, it's mostly the loudmouths online that do that. There are a huge number of men suffering in silence. They often know it's them, but don't know how to start fixing it.
I help out with a charity focused on men's mental health. It's both depressing how many men suffer, and great to watch them "find their tribe" and start resolving it.
