There are infinite ways of dealing with a generalized lack of hope and respect, but most people only see a limited set of options: 1. Work harder 2. Work smarter, maybe invest in attaining a profession or a trade 3. Make other changes like getting a haircut, wardrobe, yoga, or working out 4. Give up The problem is when too many people see option 4 as their only option. Disgruntled, dissatisfied, broke dudes who aren't getting also tend to turn to crimes, pathologies, and distractions of despair that also increase morbidity. This downward eventually turns into a cost and burden on society. If you want a healthy society, make sure everyone has something to do and is getting some. Hell, the Netherlands has or had subsidies for disabled people to receive professional sex services. That's pretty damn humane.
