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

Decent men who are lonely talk about it like human beings. They don’t need to hide behind a bullshit “male loneliness epidemic.”

You talk as if every single lonely male won't shut up about the male loneliness epidemic. It is just a fucking term used to incorrectly refer to how people are lonelier now. They are not hiding behind anything, dipshit. You continue, yet again, to purposely take the words of a few extremists and pretend its representative of lonely men as a whole.

Fuck it, I don't have any reason to continue this death spiral with you. You have made up your mind, and you refuse to let reality inside. Have fun playing pretend.

Your reading comprehension isn’t great.
