58. Do very many women really wonder that?

You said you raised one, which sounds to me like you had one (sorry if something bad happened)

For myself, not only have I not had a date since 1998, it seems like in the last ten years I have not even met any women to ask out. That was not true in the past. Heck back in the 1990s I used to get rejected by at least two women every year.

Then again, it is not like I miss THAT.
