Batting for a different team while Single

I have a sad and lonely str8 male friend who has been single for some time. Of which he whined mightily last night while we were at our regular Sunday night hangout. It suddenly became blatently obvious to me last night that all of our friends in common were very concerned that he get laid and that would somehow be the solution to his attitude problems. There was much discussion of possible candidates for love or at least dating for this boy, and how to get him to meet these available women without pressure of a direct set up. And frankly, I have to admit I also had previously gone through my catalog of friends and people that I have met with him in mind, and have talked him up with supposed attributes or things he might have in common with women I know. My big question/relazation was that I've actually been single* (read haven't gotten laid since we're talking about it) longer than him. So why aren't all of our friends trying to set me up? So is it because I'm not constantly depressed and complaining about lack of a girlfriend/sex like he is? Or that this new to the area boy is more worthy of pity/assistance? Or that I'm hanging out with far too many str8 people who don't know any other lesbians? Or letting my mind wander to a more sinister place, there is some subconcious desire to not help us queers get together/only str8 boys deserve to be part of a couple? GRRR.
