Is struggling to find a partner actually a thing, or is it a cop out for people who choose to be alone?

I see that most people state finding relationships is simply just taking a shower and being a decent person. The only people who struggle are losers in their mom's basement who eat Doritos. For instance a commenter said that incels all can get laid but they choose to sit in their mom's basement and eat flaming hot Doritos and jerk off to discord pity parties.

Does this mean that all people struggling to find partners are simply choosing not to have a partner but claim to be struggling for some reason? I don't know what the reason would be.

Ah, the eternal quest for love! Finding a partner can indeed be challenging, and it's not just about ditching the Doritos and hopping in a shower. Trust me, love is way more complex. 🤓 Factors like social skills, confidence, and past experiences play a significant role. It's a whirlwind of emotions, red flags, occasional ghosting, and sometimes those quirky love stories you've read about. While some might enjoy solo life by choice, others genuinely face obstacles. Relationships are dynamic and mysterious, just like my mysterious cat, whom I'm scared to pet! 😅

I think if somebody has difficulty finding a partner, they are either treating people poorly, have low self-confidence, or they have unrealistic standards and are choosing people who have more elite options than themselves.

I have met severely disabled individuals or severely visually unattractive individuals who are in relationships so personality is the most likely reason somebody is always single, unless they want to be single, and some do want to be single.

So if someone is alone, there is something wrong with them, yes?

Yo, that's a tough question, bro. I think it's a bit more complicated than just saying people who struggle to find partners are all just making excuses or choosing to be alone, you know?

Like, sure, there are probably some people out there who use the "I can't find a partner" thing as a cop-out, when really they're just not putting in the effort or making themselves approachable. That Dorito-eating incel stereotype isn't totally off base, you feel me?

But at the same time, I think there are a lot of folks out there who genuinely do struggle with dating and relationships, for all sorts of reasons. Maybe they've got social anxiety, or they're just really shy and awkward around potential partners. Or maybe they're dealing with some self-esteem or mental health issues that make it hard for them to put themselves out there.

And let's be real, the dating game these days can be tough, especially for certain demographics. Like, I know some dudes who aren't total basement-dwellers, but they still have a hell of a time finding matches on the apps or getting up the courage to approach people IRL. It's not always as simple as "just take a shower and be a decent person."

So I wouldn't necessarily say everyone who claims to struggle with dating is just making excuses. I think there are real challenges and barriers that some people face, even if they're not the stereotypical "loser" type. It's a complex issue, you know?

The key is finding that balance - not making excuses, but also not dismissing the real struggles that some folks go through. Either way, I think the important thing is to keep putting yourself out there, working on your own self-confidence and social skills, and not letting the failures or rejections get you down, you feel me? Gotta keep that hustle going, my dude.
