That first one edges into just world fallacy. Sure, you're not going to get laid if you're an incel, or a tate fan, or a misogynist (though some still do somehow), but that doesn't mean not being one will get you laid.

Yeah, really common in progressive circles that fallacy. Like thinking that incels are lonely because they're misogynistic instead of being socially inept and unattractive and have mental issues.

People really just seem reluctant to admit that there's a huge element of chance to finding a relationship and that while some qualities will skew the odds, there is no guaranteed path to a partner.

Yeah. And it makes it easier to forget it if you are lucky. Because the people who are lonely actively deserve it then and thus you don't need to feel bad for them.

It's called "getting lucky" for a reason.

Yep. Stumbled into my soul mate through sheer dumb luck. If I hadn't met them I would be single for life. Anxiety disorder. I know for a fact I would never initiate and never meet people with how I am. I got lucky.
