You are treating a handful of deliberately provocative online comments as if they were a reliable census of "lonely men" and asking whether it's okay to blanket dismiss all such men because of it.

In this case specifically, it's just more sexism from men for other men to laugh about. It doesn't matter the platform, real life or not. Sexism is always there.
- Bots.
- People can be vain.
- People (not just men) tend to automatically acquit attractive people of wrongdoing. (Halo effect)
Jensen Huang is a horrible person who deserves prison.
Now, with that out of the way, Tech Bro appears to be satire and furthermore I don't think the moral implications have anything to do with the fact that many if not most men would cheat in that situation as a matter of fighting against instincts and the average person being a selfish moron.
"explain to me why should I ever feel empathy"
You can just stop there. You've already said everything that needs to be said.
I have empathy for men who I'm sure are good. The reason I’m angry is that I want to find a good man whom I can take care of. But since I’m an ugly woman, it seems I don’t deserve any men other than the likes of these.
Conditional empathy is weird.
What's kind of like telling every man you meet to prove to you that they are worth you giving a single fuck about them.
Like, obviously, something has gone different in your life than it did in mine, and that's fine, but, like, I've always provided basic human decency and basic respect as the default, and given people the opportunity to add to that, or take away from that, based on their actions.
And bringing up your attractiveness on a text-based forum isn't really adding to the conversation. It's kind of more like a sympathy plea. You could be lying. You could be a 73-year-old diaper wearing white guy.
Or as the older saying goes, "everybody is a dude on the internet", so I can't say much to address that at all.
I am sorry that you feel unattractive, but I've seen literal shugoth hag beasts like my sister land good-looking, decent, upstanding guys based off of the force of their personality.
Consider that the posts and comments might be from propaganda farms deliberately trying to sow division and loneliness. We are all being manipulated on a unprecedented scale. Some men you meet might have those beliefs, and once your aware of them, run. Some are just poorly socialised men.
All that said, I would hate to be a woman dating these days, collectively, men are pretty terrible.
Because you're applying a statement from one guy to all men, doesn't sound like a fair opinion to me.
Actually, I am from silicon value, and I’ve rubbed elbows with the Huangs on several occasions. Once I started chatting with Mrs. Huang in a line at the buffet, turns out she is an extremely witty, charming person, engaged in many interesting projects. She also runs her own business, but is mostly socially active. We discovered that we both share the same hobby (extreme ironing). Weirdly enough, she referred to Jensen as “the hand puppet”.
Some people have no morals and in the current Western climate, it's okay to flaunt one's lack of ethical standards and heart because that's what powerful people do. Disregard them, like God will disregard them on the Day if they continue this way.
