One huge problem is that young people aren’t learning the interpersonal skills their parents and grandparents did.
They can’t make small talk. They can’t stand feeling awkward.
At the least bit of discomfort, they retreat to their phone to find an online person to talk to.
The fact is, you have to push yourself to be a social person, and sometimes you will get shot down, or say something dumb or even trip over your own feet, and you have to be able to get past that without self-soothing on a screen, or retreating to your room.

The electronic culture feed they privately receive each day makes them think they are not worthy.

Ingesting what they think are perfect lives off a screen makes them much more insecure than healthy, God given insecurity. (Humility)

Without family and unlimited exposure to the faux world, it can be hard to overcome.

I have the odd problem of being unable to meet single women. If I meet a woman who is someone I would be interested in fostering a relationship with, she will already have a husband/boyfriend. 100% of the time.

And the ironic thing is that people are then advised to hide behind a screen and use online dating…
 
Romantically attached/married women have lower guards and therefor are much easier to approach.

Could it be you know or sense this and shy away from the all-in challenges of a available woman?

I don’t think that’s the case. Unless they’re wearing a wedding ring, I would have no idea if they have any kind of relationship. I meet so few women regardless, it’s just shocking that they’re all in relationships.
 
Learning to fail is required before one learns to fly. Kids are no longer allowed to fail, ever, at anything.
