It’s a joke with a weak setup, not a social commentary about loneliness. Pointing out the setup is not factually correct is like pointing out horses don’t go to bars.
The joke is both, and I gave it as much attention as I care which is one sentence. Horses don’t go to bars but people do eat alone and some people do find that sad, so I don’t see the comparison.
I’ve tried explaining this to my wife but she doesn’t get it, because when she is alone she is lonely. When I’m alone I’m fine, I enjoy the moment or free time or however it unfolds.
She used to try to preset get together time with friends for me if she was out of town. Lol. Imma be fine. Movies, books, poetry, artwork, call a friend from 20 years ago, sleep,take hikes, sit on porch with cofeee watching leaves blow in the wind…etc
Lol. I don’t call people often. But when I have free time I sometimes think I should reconnect, however that is rare because I end up doing other things than phone calls.
Just saw my bestman from my wedding after not seeing him in 30 years. I should try harder to connect with others 😀
Assuming someone is lonely because they’re alone the one time you encountered them is dumb.
They are talking to themselves…
It’s a joke about a guy wearing a camo.
Ya I’m aware. The joke also says that it’s sad for someone to eat alone. Do you think I’m responding to that or the camo?

They must be fun at parties
Why the long face?

Are you sure you actually enjoy your alone time? Because that sounds like what an extrovert would say!
