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

    The problem is we live in a society pause for laugh track

    Where men are told they have to get laid or their personhood is questionable and women are told they must never get laid or their personhood is questionable.

    The result is that heterosexual men are frustrated, cisgender women everywhere are afraid of anything with a penis, and dating men as a transwomen is pretty fucking easy because men are tired and desperate.

      Trans people always have the greatest insight into these issues. Thank you!

        I guess it comes from being between the typical roles.

        The same predjudice also appears to apply to gay people.

      Personally I’ve just opted out of the whole ordeal and don’t care what anyone has to say about my choice.

      Do you have any idea how many femboys just went for me? I have to reject them all as it won’t work out, but I appreciate it I guess.

      Meanwhile, a handful of women went for me. Like, I’m fine now with whatever happens. I simply accepted that people are different, and we don’t all have to have the same lives.
