Hey, I'd rather than work but I don't have much of a choice.

Everyone has time for a relationship. I know of multiple people who work as Wall Street investment banking analysts and associates (85+ hr a week job), medical doctors currently in residency (70+ hr a week job), lawyers at Vault 100 firms (60+ hr a week job), and entrepreneurs running pretty successful small businesses (60+ hr a week job) and all of them still have time to date and go out at least one night per week.

That said, if you're truly interested in a relationship, make time for a relationship. This usually involves developing better time management skills.

You make time for what is most important to you.

You're just mad because no one wants you as a booty call.

People can do what they want, and they shouldn't have to deal with people expecting them to center their lives around them. It's needy and if some can't understand working for your future, they need to find someone else.
Ditto. What's so wrong about having ambition? That's the issue I have with most people, they're too content with mediocrity. Don't want to do better for themselves but are jealous of those with drive. Pathetic on so many counts. I'm at a good place in life in my career and goals and that's my focus; if a woman can't respect my hustler mentality, she can make use of the exit.

As if having a relationship and making time for sex and a love life means a person lacks ambition? As if people who work hard and long hours and also have a great personal live are "content with mediocrity?"

Nonsense. People who work 100 hours a week and have no one meaningful in their lives would be considered by the vast majority of people to be mediocre at best, lonesome losers at worst. Take your pick.
