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

It costs money. I dunno if you've noticed, but things are getting more expensive, and salaries aren't really increasing at the same pace. People have less spare money to spend.

So where will you go to meet new people and socialise with?

The bar where a single drink costs 3 evenings worth of dinner?

The cafe where a tea and a sandwich costs more than a supermarket shopping trip?

The social event with an entry fee that makes you wonder if you can skip rent for a month?
