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 am not saying you WILL get a partner if you work on yourself. I am saying it will increase the possibility of getting a partner if you work on yourself. I am also not saying that getting a partner is completely within your control. There are societal factors that make it hard these days to get a partner.

The problem with “If you don’t want to be homeless just get a job to get money and then rent a place to live” is that it implies you will get a place to live if you get a job. Which is not true.
