You expect to find a girlfriend on the job? I don't mean it as a snark. But in office means that work and communiting takes even more of your life. Unless she comes from the job, which is unlikely in male dominated profession, being with team won't get you girlfriend.

The parent didn't say this. He probably meant it as in "if I had a girlfriend, not having friends wouldn't be as rough".
