Doom-Scrolling Erodes Male Social Skills
- Sadia Khan argues modern loneliness in men is self-inflicted by doom-scrolling and sexualized content reducing real-world social skills.
- She says this creates fear of approaching women and erodes motivation to pursue long-term connection.
Be Present When You're Home
- You don't need to quit work to be present; when home, be fully present and undistracted to satisfy your partner.
- Prioritize focused, device-free quality time over constant availability to maintain connection.

- Khan reframes marriage as a skill, not merely romantic love, requiring tolerance for monotony and dependency.
- She warns prolonged independence builds novelty-seeking habits that make later monogamy harder.
