this is so fucking funny

scientists, seeing dudes learn how to make actual friends: ah fuck how are they gonna use women for emotional labor now

this made me cackle

Every day I find a new reason to thank god I wasn’t born straight

Because the thought of being a straight woman is literally the single worst thing I can imagine

Some quotes from Dr. Stefan Robinson in the article:

“These
heterosexual millennial men cherish their close male friends, so much
so that they may even provide a challenge to the orthodoxy of
traditional heterosexual relationships
,” said Dr Robinson.

“Given that young men are now experiencing a delayed onset of
adulthood
, and an extended period of adolescence, men may choose to
cohabit as a functional relationship in the modern era.

Because heterosexual sex is now achievable without the need for
romantic commitment
, the bromance could increasingly become recognized
as a genuine lifestyle relationship, whereby two heterosexual men can
live together and experience all the benefits of a traditional
heterosexual relationship
.”

Look; I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I Suspect that perhaps this man might have an ideological agenda(!), independent of his study(:O SHOCKING, I KNOW!!), which may have, in a small way, influenced his conclusions 😐
