Another scared, wierd little guy sharing his skewed view of the world.
Can't get laid? Blame the economy.
During the most recent recession, Dave Ramsey many times told his audience that it's not how "the economy" is doing that matters, what's important is how "your economy" is doing.
The relationship world really does work in economic terms It's every man/woman for hisself/herself, trying to get the best product to show off as a trophy, to conform to social pressures of being attached, to take care of their sexual needs, to provide a personal sense of validation, or to provide some other type of utility. People have market values and they try to sell when their market value is at its highest. That's why women try to get attached when they're in their prime years of looks, the young adult years, and why men in those years who are moving up the income ladder want to wait and see what caliber of women they can score in the future. Tall men have higher market values than short men, period. People make upgrades when they have the opportunity to. People settle when they have to. Typically, people will try to justify their shortcomings by pretending like they didn't settle, like the person they ended up with was their first choice.
I know it sounds shallow to think in terms of market values and upgrades and the like, but that's really the way that things work. People are not drawn to each other because of love, but for a variety of social and psychological reasons. It's plain to see that the relationship world is just a sexual economy. Look around.
From your perspective it is.
You can't generalize all cultures to share the same world views and values you do.
