Men need to give up the battle. Go full celibate and ignore women. The world is just better.

Can I ask though what that has to do with ignoring women? Do you mean all women altogether or just dating options?

My recommendation would be not to see it as some kind of battle or trying to enforce any kind of relationship. Try to be healthy and active in live. Learn to love yourself. If you love yourself, so will do others. You won't find a partner necessarily but the more you work on your individual life, the higher the chances to find good friends or a partner.

I'd argue against giving false hopes.

Learning to love yourself is good. But people should be aware that there's a good chance they'll never find love in their whole lives. That's a reality some people need to prepare to.

It's not the end of the world. No one wants to live without love but it happens even to the best of people. The best someone can do is just learning how to live by themselves and enjoy that kind of life.

If love eventually comes, good luck, but it's not a guarantee. And if someone has been single for a long time (I mean the better part of their adult life) chances are they will just be single for life, or at least without proper love. And people need to be prepare for that, because it's not easy.
