Show transcriptScreenshot 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

Ok, ok, ok. I know everyone likes anecdotes.

I don't fall in the lonely camp, but I'm definitely not getting laid.

Why am I not getting laid?

Well I used to think it was cause I was fat, but then I lost a ton of weight. Then I thought it was cause I wasn't fit so I put on muscle. Then I thought it was cause I was vampire pale so I got sunburned.

Reality is:

  1. I annoy myself in my own head. I'm definitely going to annoy a potential sex partner.
  2. I am literally scared of everything. Fear does not encourage one to partake in mating rituals.
  3. I have priorities like a job and a son that are more important than a new woman in my life will be for a while.
  4. Having a big dick doesn't give you big dick energy.
