A lot of dating frustration comes from men using the "Jeremy Meeks" defense: "If he can get away with it, why can't I?"

The answer is simple: You aren't him. It’s the same as an unhealthy person demanding the world view them as an athlete. It’s a refusal to acknowledge the baseline requirements of the social contract.

Instead of asking why women won't "make an exception" for you, ask yourself what you’ve actually done to earn that status. Most people are "alone" not because of a rigged system, but because they refuse to do the basic maintenance—socially and personally—that everyone else is already doing.
