Very interesting question - I looked up the meaning of both words to try to be as accurate as possible.
To me I don't think you can say either because it assumes that it happens to everyone and I am fairly sure there are people who could go through life for whatever reason not experience love.
I have no idea of stats but I assume that number is quite low but probably a better word/phrase for me would be "Love is aspiration" where it ties into your question is the adjective you apply to this aspiration "I deserve love cos...", "If I found love in the right circumstances, it would be nice" "I hope love will find me"
What I am saying is love will find most of us lets for arguments sake say 95% of us then break that down to where it works out you obviously get lower percentages.
In my view it is pure luck/good fortune etc - I will get complicated here and say I believe totally in free will and predetermination. What I mean is I believe all our futures are predetermined but we just don't know what they are, the "Free Will" decisions we make along the way are all mapped out whether we stay on the same path or change course.
In a perfect world "Love would be a right" and a privilege to work at with the right person for you but in the great scheme of things, I can just hope it works out for me, you and everyone who reads this if not for all, most of us.

It depends on the type of love, it's never a right but gaining a friend is a form of love and not nearly as difficult but a relationship is a privilege what's sad is families expect it as a right. They wonder why you are still single and wonder what's talking you so long you are not getting any younger they say... That's when it's hardest of all because while people have choice others are judged because people have the freedom to say no
I think people have a right to be with whoever they want without outside interference, provided it is mutual and are both of legal age.
Love comes naturally, it's not a privilege or a right

It's a privilege for rich men and beautiful women.
That's why rich men have 4-5 women. And poor men starve to find even 1.
That's why fake photoshopped Instagram models get swarm of thousands thirsty men following them.. While valuable.. Nurses and teachers who are actually caring and won't manipulate men, struggle to find a decent men to be with..In the sense of between women and man , it's a privilege , as you must make yourself worthy of being loved first. Some people , a minority , can do just fine without that type of love , myself included. Even love from children is conditional as they get older , the only true unconditional love , is from ferrets and dogs , lovable creatures in their own right.
Good question. What can we do to deserve love, right? Love is where we come from, or the union of a man and woman. So I would say it is inheritence, which is a privilege. But we all have the right give love within reason and to expect it for ourselves within reason, therefore knowing what we want/how we want to be loved, if that makes sense.
It's more of a gift than either of those. It's certainly not a right - nothing that compels other people to do things for you is a "right."
I think everyone has a right to give and receive love ❤️
I would say neither. It's a gift from god to allow us to feel such a beautiful emotion.
A rare privilege you may not get even if you deserve it
It’s your right to hold out for true love if you want
Someone on here said that it is a break because it is mentioned in the preamble to the constitution that is patently false. God given rights do not come from the state Duh!
To love, and be loved is a human right, and a human need. It's recognized in the American constitution under; 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'
It's a gift or a blessing.
Love between two partners is an earned privilege, certainly not a right.
Neither, but we are entitled to love and to be loved.
It’s just a fact. Privilege or rights have nothing to do with it , in my humble opinion.
Even though everyone deserves to find love, not everyone will. So unfortunately, it’s a privilege.
It's a privilege, obviously. And that's the way it should be. You first have to be a decent person. And then you also have to be attractive enough to have someone actually want to be with you.
Its a privilege. But pretty much all of us need it in our lives.
It’s a chemical in the brain or whatever it’s just a thing.
Despite what politicians might say, no one has a right to that which belongs to another so love is a privilege.
I don't think it's a right, but at the same time, I'd like to think I deserve love just like everyone else.
