Closely related to Hollywood Homely, and a subtrope of Informed Ability. This trope is a reference to those Sitcom characters who are constantly referred to as being totally inept with their preferred sex and never scoring, when we've seen them with more beautiful people on their arm than most people have ever met, and are sometimes quite attractive themselves. (A 2007 survey indicated that the average American man has seven sexual partners in his entire lifetime. The average American woman? Four.) Examples of Hollywood Dateless include:

As well, in general it seems that if you don't have sex at least once a month (let alone a date) then that constitutes as a pathetic social life. The big thing to remember is that the solitary nature of only a few dozen episodes a year means we are only seeing a small fraction of the lives the characters lead. Two or three dates over the course of a season can still indicate a lot of empty weekends. Also bear in mind how many times the characters actually "score", as it's entirely possible they got their reputation from getting all these dates but perpetually screwing them up. The flip side of the Cool Loser and Attractiveness Isolation. Often results from Negative Continuity. Contrast Urban Legend Love Life. Can be used quizzically in combination with Everybody Has Lots of Sex, Failure Is the Only Option, Moment Killer, Derailing Love Interests and This Loser Is You.
