It's difficult even when you have had it. I was married for almost seven years so it was never an issue for a few years and my life was much easier then, not having to worry about finding someone or finding love.
Now it's going on 8 months since I last had sex with someone and no matter how many times you've had it just feeling like you lost the ability to attract a mate makes you feel like a virgin all over again.
I can relate to what it feels like to no be able to find someone. My work schedule makes it impossible to see my friends or even keep up with basic chores, let alone pursue any other sort of relationships.
It sucks not being one of the more desirable people and being socially awkward.
If you're patient you could try online dating. You are bound to go on a lot of awkward dates that lead nowhere but sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised.

Who is it that expects this from you? If there is any expectation from people, it should be that you find a way to be happy, either by getting what you want or accepting your circumstances.
Men considered unattractive for that long are just expected to accept their circumstances, not least to save the poor women around them from unwanted attention.
Their genes are earmarked for extinction, like the worker bees in the hive... so it's like how dare they have an uppity expectation for something more.
The whole thing about genes being earmarked for extinction is absurd. The men who have the most kids are usually lowlife drug dealers and thugs who live in the projects. If mating was based on evolutionary theory then they would be the one who had genes earmarked for extinction.
Getting laid is not easy for the majority of men. If it was there wouldn't be so many people making a fortune out of selling pick-up artist books.
