Are people to quick to assume that? Where are you getting that information from? Are you assuming it?

Honestly, its a trope and a pretty common issue, as well as something I struggled with when I was young.

If you look at incels, its the reverse: a whole bunch of people convinced they lack something specific which others are singled out for to attract a lover, regardless of personality or character. They convince themselves they have nothing to offer but their "entitlement to sex", to the point they eventually become right about the nothing to offer part.
