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

      Came here to say this.

      I’m 42, happily married, and can’t find/keep/make a friend to save my life. My wife is very anti-social/introverted and has a good number of friends.

      I cycle between thinking my interests suck, or I must just be un-fucking-bareable to be around and completely oblivious.

      Maybe both… Probably both.

        Man, I feel you. I am genuinely jealous of people who can walk in a room and be friends with everyone in a few minutes.
