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

Yeah, I don't know what the tumblr user in the screenshot is talking about. That's just not what people mean when they talk about the male loneliness epidemic. Seems like they just want to put others down while dishing out useless, hollow advice ..."be enjoyable"... lmao wow they solved it, great thanks.

Misandry is sadly pretty common.

Turns out "leftist" take-generators are not immune to making up bullshit to mock & deride for social clout

If it's a conversation about 3rd spaces and a lack of opportunities for IRL social interaction in modern society, I think it's more apt and more productive to just call it a loneliness epidemic. People who are not cis-men have the same problems of not being able to access affordable, pleasant places to socialize in their communities. Calling it the "male" loneliness epidemic just leads to animosity and division where there should be solidarity.
