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 have had a similar experience with a group of friends from college. They have been slowly getting worse, if not quite as bad as your group. I haven't completely cut them off, but I rarely hang out with them in person, and ignore the group chat most of the time.

I had another group of friends from rock climbing, that slowly moved away to colorado. I still talk to them online and play video games with them occasionally, but I miss the literal IRL hangs.

I'm also fortunate to have other friends from college who I have more politically in common with, we have another group chat where we talk shit about and commiserate about the other group and the general state of the world. We've also been trying to get together IRL more.
