I don't see it as a put-down.
I don't see how "You were ruined by your upbringing and don't deserve love" isn't a put down.
that's not what was said. everyone needs and deserves love, but nobody is entitled to a partner. those who have had harmful socialization need to go to therapy to make sure they don't end up hurting others. really, everyone should go to therapy. it's good for you.
The person is talking about the dating pool they are exposed to. I don't see this as a personal comment about any individual person. I certainly wouldn't take it as a personal attack, and I don't think anyone else should either.
