How is that different from going outside and looking for a date?

You don't actually go out and look for friends, though. You make them in your everyday surroundings.

What is the correct thing for a heterosexual male to do if he is a firm believer in the pillar theory, but all of his friends are male?
Should he carry on living like he has thus far, leaving it to pure chance wether or not a person of the virtuous womankind would enter his circle of anquaintances or should he take matters into his own hands and venture out into the world and seek out the bonniest lass of all?

Then he is either blind or at an all-male boarding school. No one only has male friends.

Or maybe he prefers the company of men?

Or better yet! Let us say that there are female friends, but none of them are compatible or they are already in a relationship with someone else while the hero of our story was too busy just being friends.

It means they're not interested in him. So why bother?

Then he should either wait to get more female friends or just forget it. Remember, part of pillar theory is that one does not actively seek a relationship - if one happens, good, but going out of one's way to have one is worse than not having one.

It'll be a lonely death for our brave little protagonist.

Ah! But this is a matter of personal priorities and preferences. One likes apples, the other likes oranges. One's purpose in life is to chase after fruit while the other thinks that a few fruit are nice, but there are better things to strive for.
At this point it is established that the pillar theory is not generalizable and applies only in some cases.

And that's fine, as long as each is happy with what he has. But the problem is, people chase after relationships and frequently end up unhappy. And, too often, the advice is, "Just keep trying."

Pillar theory is right you can not have more time then you have ( so you can't have too much pillars the the numbers of them will exceed you capacity) so..... you can suppport only limited numbers of "pillars" so there is question about quality or quantity in your socialised life....

Such is the case in many facets of life, but does not struggle build character? Or are you going for the buddhist thing about craving?
