> You don't have a safety net when you get dumped. You know, if your girlfriend dumps you, you don't get another girl to give you blowjobs, because otherwise you might get depressed and suicidal. You're expected to figure it out on your own and you might not do it - you might end up lonely, without dates and maybe even commit suicide because of that.

So maybe think outside your own box and figure out if there's any cheap social policy that would improve the lot of such people? I come up with: legalize prostitution, shorten copyright terms for pornography. Maybe lower emphasis on marriage and greater acceptance of polyamory, though that could go both ways. Try to culturally de-emphasize sex, and provide more life paths where singledom is accepted or expected (e.g. I've heard it argued that monasteries used to serve this function).

> So, why not hold wage earners to the same standard?

Huh? That's backwards. If giving everyone a decent dating partner was as easy as raising taxes a little bit and subsidising a few government-run services, of course we'd do it.
