I'm actually with you as far as the missing empathy and a lack of will to even listen is concerned, but I must say I too find the bit about the girl friend odd and I think it distracts from the (IMHO) good points you made. Look at it this way: This is an "outlier" statement among everything you said, so a reader's brain is going to pay more attention to it then to the rest.

Here is what you could have said (the very short version):

You could have made a good point that part of the problem of getting a girl friend is the freakin' amount of uncertainty in our lives. You can't be sure where you live and where you get an income from. That is a big problem for stable relationships.

After reading more of your comments I'm not sure if you actually meant it literally though, meaning your own personal issues instead of the wider political picture, which I would not want to comment on.
