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
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I’ll think about it more for sure, but I still very much wonder if there is more to it. Vr porn and dolls and ai girlfriends and the rest of it, i feel, rarely leave the users fulfilled so i wonder if there might be a hierarchy of needs here. But i dont disagree that there is certainly a special place for intimacy around the 20s and 30s where this is especially important
