>If you are the kind of person who can choose to remain single and lonely for life when you burn with passion for the opposite sex

Who said anything about choosing?

Assumedly the implication is that by not succumbing to the social pressure you are demonstrating the required fortitude to choose to also not succumb to a desire for intimacy with other humans, as op states this is an extreme outlier behaviourally speaking, completely regardless of how successful a person may be with human intimacy it's another thing altogether to actually purposely choose to disregard that intense natural urge for intimacy.

TLDR; it's not about not having game, it's about having the guts to tell the entire rest of the world to get fucked, big difference.

To transcend your genetic programming to create more of you takes a kind of self control few people in this world can muster, I don't even think I can do it. The problem is, the moment you achieve it, you immediately remove yourself from the gene pool, so your kids don't have your hardware. However, you do augment the fitness of your collective, as if they were your kids, then your ability to transcend desire to procreate is somewhat selected back into the genome because your presence enables human life (and continued reproduction) where it was previously not possible.

Wearing these electronics in front of your face makes you un-datable, and if you are completely OK with that, then you're a candidate for being a very-early adopter of the next thing that's going to be bigger than the invention of the Internet.
