I have an assumption, and perhaps I’m not the only one, that most girls already have boyfriends and that those who don’t are likely to lie about it.
1. Why assume this?
So why have I come up with such an assumption? I believe the answer is to protect my ego. A girl could reject me and then that begs the question ‘why the rejection?’ for which the ego would offer many reasons. I could be ugly and not know of it. Beyond that, there are reasons at different levels of the personality. In addition to physical appearance and personality, other considerations are social standing and wealth. The reasons are varied and the ego will take many but, at the core, the message given is that you are not worthy.
2. But the assumption is flawed.
Obviously, it won’t prove to be true in all cases; it is unlikely, perhaps even impossible, for every girl to be paired up and/or to lie about their status. Certainly, some girls are single. However, it may seem that most girls already have boyfriends when you take into consideration that those who don’t will probably lie, and the very few who don’t have boyfriends and don’t lie about it are probably not interested and/or are lesbian. So, practically, it is almost the same as if the assumption was true. In both cases, the possibilities are infinitesimally small.
Perhaps a lot of guys can relate to the following video:
3. So if there is next to no hope of a relationship then what do you do?
I have a few different answers for that question. Interpret as you will and take your pick.
~ In the end, why bother? If you pursue your hopes they may lead you down a path of expectation and frustration. However, I could similarly state: ‘why bother not bothering?’ If you find that you are not worthy, you are deficient in your ways, you are nothing, then what is the fuss, what is the worry? If you are nothing, a nobody, then who is there to be harmed?
~If you're really not sure what to do, you could put it up to a coin toss. Then if things don't work out you could just say it was bad luck.
~ If nothing you do matters then all that matters is what you do. Anything that can be gained can be lost and will be lost eventually. All that remains is your actions; your actions are the ground on which you stand. Care about your action but don’t care about the outcome; just enjoy the process.
The greatest experience in life is when you simply give without any conditions, without any expectations of even a simple thank you. On the contrary, a real, authentic love feels obliged to the person who has accepted his love. She could have rejected it.

This is such a misconception especially that all the hot girls, with their plethora of insecurities, have boyfriends
You mean, most super hot girls already have boyfriends, right?
Most girls are hot, so yeah, it's still the same.
no... most girls are not super hot.
Most girls are average, hence why it is called average. But I doubt you are talking about average looking girls. Just judging by what I've seen and heard, most girls do not have boyfriends. I constantly hear people complain about how they are going to be alone forever and how no one wants to have a serious relationship with them and blah blah blah.
Oh, I overlooked the word 'super.' No, most girls are not super hot.
I do mean average girls. In general, girls are hotter/sexier/better-looking than guys which is how 'average' girls can be hot in my opinion. Though, being straight, I may be biased in saying that; girls may find the average guy hotter than the average girl. I hope I'm explaining this well.
From what you said, I wonder if some girls make the opposite assumption that a guy is taken and already has a girlfriend? Wouldn't that be something if a single girl and a single guy liked each other but neither would approach assuming that the other was already taken.
