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

    No it isn’t. For example:

    If the original poster said “It’s a skill issue, all you need to get a partner you need to shake their hand”.

    And then the imaginary fckreddit was like “I didn’t ask to have no arms. I didn’t ask for an inability to do a shake hands. I can only be me…”

    Do you see how it this was not targeting imaginary fckreddit. It can’t be a skill issue on imaginary fckreddit’s part because they have no arms.

    Just like it can’t be a skill issue on the real fckreddit’s part because they lack the ability that most people have in that area though no fault of their own.

    OP can’t literally specify all the possible exceptions to their advice. The post would be 100 pages.
