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

What part of "male loneliness epidemic" implies that the friends must be women?

I don't care what gender my friends are. I just want some people who I can hang out with and have fun. Like in college. Why isn't that an option anymore?

Unsure what this has to do with my comment which was in reply to your statement about not knowing what the statement in the original post likely meant by "relaxing". I never stated the friends must be women.
