There is no such thing as luck. Probabilities yes. Yea people hit the lottery every day but this game is not Russian roulette.
You can create your own reality and frame.
Believing in luck tells me I am on the line as whoa as me I am the unlucky man.
Attitude means a lot in this world and I had to learn that the hard way.
It is luck though, or if you want to word it differently it's a numbers game, etc.
I saw a stat recently, which also made the headlines of mainstream media, where only about 1/3 of young women are single vs. 2/3 of men being single. Now, some of these women that claim to be in relationships are honestly just side pieces, FWBs, etc. but probably aren't aware of it lol.
So, let's take these numbers at face value. If only 1/3 of women are single/available that greatly reduces the number of women you could realistically date. Out of this many women, what are the chances that you'd even be able to cross paths with them in the first place to where you meet one another? OLD is trash and has abysmal success for men so I'm going to completely eliminate this option and stick to purely real life interactions.
Now, out of all of these interactions how many of these women are going to be in a place mentally where they are even open to dating? Maybe her grandma died last week, or she recently brokeup with her bf or maybe her mom is sick in the hospital......just about any variable can potentially take her off of the dating market in that given time period.
Now, let's say she is open to dating a man, what's to say she is even attracted to you in the first place? Women are far pickier now than they have ever been so there is a high probability that she will place you in the reject bin, as she does with the vast majority of men. Let's say she is interested, there is a very high probability that she is also talking to other men at that given period in time. You might click x amount of boxes but this other guy she met off tinder clicks even more and naturally he is placed higher on her list over you.
Now, let's say you actually do get her on a date, which is really when your chances actually begin to increase. You get her on a first date but it does not lead to a 2nd date. This could be for a million reasons, maybe she just wasn't really feeling there was any real compatibility. Maybe you have a particular quirk or mannerism that she did not initially pick up on that bothers her. I could go on and on. This also could even occur over the span of a couple dates that ultimately does not lead to anything.
With all of this said, we aren't even factoring in if YOU as the man are interested in this woman after all of this lol. It's not at all difficult to understand how there are so many young men that are single and frustrated with no dating/sex lives at all. This is a horrible dating market and the vast majority of men that you see that are in relationships got lucky. They were not spending a ton of time working on game, hitting up the gym or working tirelessly on self improvement. Most of these guys were just lucky to be in the right place at the right time with no real effort and things lined up for them. These guys aren't Chads or celebrities or pro athletes, etc. they just got lucky.
On the flip side, there are many men that are just unlucky with their dating lives. There are tons of men that have a ton of stuff going for them that put a lot of effort into bettering themselves that have little to no success. None of these things like being in shape, doing well financially, have hobbies, etc. guarantee that you will be able to land a relationship, though in theory they should greatly increase your chances. This is not how the world works. A guy could be 6'2", 210 that is active and fit, has a good paying job and does well for himself. He has no real issues that should be an immediate turn off (drugs, alcoholic, etc.) but yet is chronically single because he was unlucky in that nothing ever lined up for him in regards to his dating life. He could have crossed paths with women but just had terrible timing on each and every interaction. Eventually he gets frustrated, begins to place less and less importance on it and his exposure greatly decreases, which makes this issue even worse.
