The attractive people involved are already coupled.

It is also extremely implausible that this is 100% true. Unless you were going to events that select for couples, you're going to find a mix of relationship states.

physical fitness has nothing to do with attractiveness. lots of unattractive people are super fit, and lots of attractive people are unfit.

People generally find healthiness attractive. Fitness is correlated with healthiness, and this somewhat correlated with attractiveness. Tastes differ. But generally, people are not going to find "can't run up the stairs without wheezing" more attractive than "can run"

I live in a city full of wealthy entitled people, who think they are superior to others by birthright and what college they went to, and who won’t talk to you if you don’t work for a fortune 500 company.

Very few cities are so homogeneous. Don't dox yourself but what do you feel comfortable sharing about what city this is? I find it extremely unlikely that the entire city is full of people who only talk to fortune 500 people. Do all the wait staff and service workers exist in silence and depart the city at dusk?

Sounds like you're putting up barriers blocking your own success, mostly.
