Why Are So Many Pokemon Gym Leaders Single?

thegamer.com:

According to this list of jobs that are most likely to leave you single at 40, bartenders, actors, flight attendants, and apparently brickmasons are among the loneliest professions, with bartenders topping the list at a distressing 70 percent. But all of these jobs should consider themselves lucky, because while love may be hard to find when you’re laying bricks all day, that’s nothing compared to the romantic plight of the Pokemon Gym Leader. They may have fame and success, but very few of them have someone to share it with. Why are Gym Leaders so single?

When we look at the other most-single professions, some clear patterns emerge. Those who work unpredictable hours or spend a lot of time away from home like actors and flight attendants tend to struggle to maintain relationships. A lot of hospitality workers like restaurant hosts, bellhops, and hotel desk clerks are unmarried because the long shifts and late nights - particularly on the weekends - make dating difficult. If you consider the demands of these jobs, it isn’t hard to understand why so many of the people that do them are single. But Gym Leaders don’t seem to face any of these challenges.

For the most part, Gym Leaders are allowed to make their own schedule. You know this if you ever arrived at a Gym to find the door locked, like the gyms in Viridian and Sootopolis City. Gym Leaders don’t seem to work long hours either. Teaching the people that train in their gyms and participating in the occasional Gym Battle are their only real responsibilities. Leading a gym is so casual that most of them tend to get second jobs or hobbies to help pass the time. If Elesa and Grant have time to become models and rock climbers,
