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
Idk about other but for me, perosnally its about a romantic relationship.
I started trying to solve my lonliness like 8 years ago now, i followed the advice, i worked on myself as a person, my hegiene my appearance, bot my mental and physical health, i picked up some hobbies, got out of my shell, made some great freinds that i love and love me... but still no romantic partner. Im happy with myself but say when I travel no matter how much i enjoy it theres always that thought in the back of my mind that i dont have anyone to enjoy it with, im not going to have anyone to look back at these times fondly with and it really gets me and puts a sour mood on oretty much anything i do and it feels like my time to find someone is quickly running out.
