      The just world fallacy is about people getting what they deserve.

      That doesn’t seem to really apply to the statistical argument that there are enough people out there, the chance for any given individual to not have any shot is effectively (if perhaps not precisely) zero. Small enough to not be worth considering.

          Sure. But I don’t think anyone else is suggesting everyone deserves a relationship.

      I don’t see how that fallacy is relevant here though

          do you have anything actually to say?

              I mean you’re just crying about the world being unfair because you’re a virgin. I’d calm the pretentiousness here. I’ll give you a hint: that behavior is a cause as to why you feel that way. Does this need to be dumbed down more? Or do you need to ask a few more wastefully empty replies that add absolutely nothing?

                  The irony here is astounding. You started off insulting me, and in multiple comments now. The original statement of there being someone for everyone still remains true.
