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

You may have missed out on the latest STDs. Girls with IQ > 100 are too busy to go to places where they can be targets by sex addicts. The truth is that IQ is distributed equally and men who show the behavior you describe are shallow themselves and deserve no better.

Oh for sure; one was a scientologist who was deliberately practicing charisma. Now he travels around the world selling the success of scientology with a perfect fake smile.

The other spent waaaayyyyyyyy too much time looking at himself in the mirror. Figuratively, but also somewhat literally.

Speaking of STDs, the latter guy refused to do sex with a condom. I told him he was an idiot for that; things could go wrong. You could accidently become a dad of a child you don't want, or end up getting a permanent STD. He said I worry too much.

Less than a week after that conversation he got gonorrhea for a whole month. I was smiling like the Cheshire cat the whole time.
