people I know

It would be if it were true. Is it really the case that 80% of the guys you know can't get laid? At all? Really? Most of the guys I know can at least get laid. Maybe not every night, and maybe they can't all land an HB9 swimsuit model, but boo fvcking hoo. Nobody promised everyone their own swimsuit model.
I work in an industry where the work is boring, and impossible for most women to understand or relate to, but where low to high six figure salaries (in USD) are common, lots of my circle are in their 40s and up.
I have heard of them settling:
a) one guy back with his wife who divorced him years before, they are in their 50s
b) two guys in mid 40s single for 1 & 2 years respectively, I know the ex of one was unattractive, the other's ex never seen, both struggling for dates since
c) one guy in early 50s divorce-raped a few years ago, can't get a date
Even myself:
Struggled for years, then put it all together in the last year and a half.
Two counter-examples:
a) two different guys, one in early 50s, the other in late 30s, with good looking wives - but surprise, surprise they are tall and good looking themselves
And here is one thats worrisome: one guy is immensely successful (we are talking multi-millionaire), in his late 50s, tall but bald, struggling to get quality dates (I guess we are talking 8+ is what he goes for given his immense success and wealth, but still).
Could be my industry is too "responsible" (and therefore boring and not sexually exciting enough), and my circle on the old side, to get action from the young hotties.
