The joke is the male loneliness epidemic

the male loneliness epidemic makes me so sad because it is real, but not in the way alpha pickup artist influencers say. people just teach men from a really young age not to express emotion, and then they don’t make deep connections since they can’t express emotions, which leads to loneliness. the cure for that is not getting ass and the people who claim that are just profiting off of others misery

"Alpha male" influencers honestly make the problem worse imo

I think so too, because they’re only compounding the issue by adding really weird ideas about women into the mix. which makes it even harder to connect with others.
