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

    If someone said “lemmy users with the word ‘empire’ in their name are unworthy of love and need to get gud at dating.” I think you might take their words a little personal even if the post wasn’t literally directly targeted at you.

      Lol, nah I don’t really take generalities personally, that’s why they’re called generalities.

      Why get upset at something that isn’t specifically addressed to me and doesn’t even make any sense?

        Racism is almost always generalities, that aren’t addressed to an individual person. Why does anyone get upset at racism?
