There's lots of reasons people might not be able to make it in the dating market. Disabilities for example. "Everyone who can't get a date is just disgusting entitled human trash and that's why they can't" is not a healthy position to take either.https://twitter.com/mountain_goats/status/989297058782830593 …

Its pretty natural for any mating species to experience depression from not finding a mate. As long as it doesn't become vindictive/antisocial it's something that encourages people to seek each other out. Telling people their loneliness is entitlement is messed up.

This looks like another case of handful of loud and insane people ruining an image of a larger group what ends with that group getting attacked for insanity and misunderstood by general population.

Nobody puts their hands up and ever says "you know, perhaps wildly stigmatising adult virgin males and putting the acquisition of sex on such a high pedestal wasn't that great a thing" though.

We're dealing with an unprecedented crisis of men and women no longer needing to make deadly sacrifices for their kin to survive. We worry about how many of us are having kids or not, but not that most of us would have never lived to have a mate or kids to begin with.

So the whole shaming of men for not finding a mate (when most throughout history actually didn't) is a leftover from a time when as long as you had 2 hands and a place to live you could get a wife so outliers did have something wrong with them.

Rampant Bachelorism has only showed up a few times in history, and nothing good ever preceded or followed it. This is the first time it is in anyway involuntary I believe as well.

Bachelorism isn't without its perks anyway, for those who don't require much in the way of companionship. It's just sad to see the demonisation of those who suffer.

People who are voluntary bachelors usually /could/ do ok in the market they just don't want to. Involuntary usually have a mental or physical issue that causes serious crisis trying to resolve it and date.
