also men: “WE HAVE A LONELINESS EPIDEMIC!”
When offer to go to lunch with someone you haven’t seen in 15 years and they respond with as long as its not within 100ft of a school
Me: um I’m sorry I think everywhere I can go is within 100 ft of a school. But best of luck to you with your future and stuff.
SNL did it
As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much
Keep in mind they call each other bro because in 45 years they don’t even know each others names since they met.
Would die for each other tho.
I learned someone’s name at work yesterday. We’ve been at the same location for like 8 months… and we have nametags…
I enjoyed the stereotype to laugh it but I feel obligated to state one thing. Relationships require maintenance, that’s it regardless of boy or girl. Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
True. But I’ve had some great friendships grow after years of just “hi” in passing. We weren’t friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.
Idunno I have quite a few friends where we only interact like every 4-8 months ish. But when we do we talk everyday for a month or two, then go separate ways again. Lifes busy we all know that. Not being in contact does no mean losing a friend.
True, but I also don’t want to be friends with you if you get upset because I’m not constantly sharing my whole life story with you at all times.
I’ve had my share of high maintenance friends, and I burn out so quick.
But if you’re an incel and a Chad says “hi” back then yeah, it’s a big deal for those weirdos
When people watermark memes. SMH
Weird incel memes at that
I’m genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?
The high maintenance example is women, while the low maintenance example is men, but that does seem to be a bit of a leap.
Girl boring guy quirky.
And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.
I don’t know how serious one has to take themselves to find this “ultimately insulting”. It’s a silly meme and it’s funny because most men can relate to it.
Lmao you could have just written “it’s not that serious bro” like the worthless bottom of the barrel dumbfuck you are. Now tell your moral and intellectual superior how serious an idiot has to take itself to respond like you did.
Do we have an IAmVerySmart community on Lemmy? Because you would fit right in over there. Over here everybody just thinks you’re a smug asshole.
Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.
If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.
I’m not even that other person, just letting you know you’re an asshole.
It’s not my problem that you deserve worse than prison.
Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️
I’m no psychoanalyst but it sounds like someone is insecure in their ability to love and be loved and would prefer to guarantee a balanced reciprocity of low effort on both sides.
Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.
Men who don’t marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.
The guy didn’t explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.
Real
My first thought ^^
Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.
I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.
What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.
Good for you!
Thanks, it’s kind of weird how much change this made in a few months. It also really changed my relationship with my parents and made it less superficial. Can highly recommend to dig in your own past a bit and see what you pushed way down, and actually deal with it.
Don’t you cry or I’ll give you something to cry about.
And we wonder why there’s a male loneliness epidemic
It’s because of women hating all men of course.
Something something space lasers!
He is gay, married another bro.
That’s the least possible gay thing he could do.
How about transitioning to a woman, then marrying their female best friend? I feel like that would at least be slightly less gay
It is a little weird when you meet an old friend and they are now trans
I respect but it was a culture shock
Shit, that reminds me I should text my best friend, he might be a father by now.
When was the last time you texted him?
It’s probably been two years. Ever since he got married and moved out of town this has been normal for us. Also he works during the day and I work during the night so it’s difficult to find a good time to talk.
Uh just the standard interval, 10 years ago
Damn, really easy to spot the Americans in the comments
We’re all Americans here right? That’s why it’s called lemmy.usa, duh.
Ah yes assuming sexual preference based on martial status, just like friends do.
Oh, friends assume sexual preference based on other things too. Like the way you eat a hotdog, what kind of car you drive, how quickly you can recognize that the song is by Kyle Minogue, how long you hold a sloppy french kiss with your homies, wether you you sit with your legs crossed or slow down on a yellow light.
Damn, I can never remember how long to french kiss my bros either! Have been called gay so many times for it.
My one homie always wants me to hold eye contact while I’m blowing him. I’m like, bro that’s so gay just cum in my mouth already.
waahhhh there is a loneliness epidemic and nobody cares about men

This is something I don’t like about guys, as a guy.
