undateables
Perpetually single ones
People considered romantically undesirable or unlikely to find partners, whether due to appearance, personality, social awkwardness, or circumstance.
The term gained currency from reality television programs featuring such individuals seeking love.
It can be self-deprecating or dismissive depending on who's using it: I've accepted my place among the undateables.
