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

Meanwhile I find I get unwanted attention from women, at a work event they kept talking to me. For some reason pretending to be interested in my clearly boring story. Why won't she leave me alone? I just want to eat the free food and go home.

I even talked about Linux and that didn't drive her away.

I feel like, as an average white ~40 year old guy in a major city, getting dates and sex wasn't that hard. But from what I've heard, the bar is extremely low. Like, all the woman I talk to (and the men who date men) have horror stories.

I think my worst dates were like... they mildly insulted me.

Neither of those come close to, like, various threats, violence, boundary breaking, and unsolicited dick picks that seem too common.

I got the opposite problem. I'm tall and fairly well built, so I have plenty of luck on the apps. But since I moved states, I can't be fucked to find a friend. Literally just tried to arrange a "play date" and got cancelled on the moment I was about to knock on their door.

Maybe I'm just not likeable?
