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

I'm not Vreyan31. But I just wanted to pick on this point of yours:

Because these posts lump all men without relationships together.

The thing is all posts lump all things together. Most posts assume they are talking to the average person/situation. It's not just relationship skill issue posts.

If, for example, someone made a spelling skill issue post. I would agree, even though I am dyslexic and I have bad spelling. Spelling is generally something people can work on to improve. I can work on it for improvement too, but with 100x less return on investment. That is why I don't practice improving my spelling, it isn't worth my time as opposed to other tools.

It's hard to be the non-average person in these posts, so I get it.

The thing is no one can make a relationship skill issue post and list all the exceptions. The post would be 100 pages long.

So you have to ask yourself, is this post really targeting you.
