Steve was frozen for seventy years.

Bucky's been an assassin for seventy years.

Banner is like 50 years old. There was plenty of time for him before he was on the run.

Steve had plenty of time before and after being frozen.

And what about Thor?

Not remotely close to that, and he was borderline engaged to Betty.

Steve had no luck with women before the serum and missed his chance with Carter after. Then he spent a fair bit of time being an Avenger. He does have that one chick he'd be dating if he weren't an international fugitive.

Thor was a womanizing hedonist until Thor 1, then dating Jane.

I'm pretty sure Tony has lately.

Unless you mean laid to rest.

The studios are wise enough to realize the Avenger movies don't fucking need forced romantic subplots. Wanda and Vision is only acceptable between neither got their own movie or much character development so it's the quickest way to humanize them.

I feel like they've prety well covered the romantic pitfalls these characters have gone through over the course of the MCU (except for Thor, and only because Natalie Portman didn't want to do any more Marvel movies and had to be written out).

Yep, they learned their lesson from that horrendously forced Widow/Banner crap in Age of Ultron.

because they're all men

Remember when people suspected a romantic subplot with Captain America and Widow in IW? >_> I'm glad that didn't happen.

Hawkeye is married, but I guess he isn't relevant.

While I don't know if he's religious, I just think this was a oneliner and only for a oneliner as I don't believe Steve is the religious type. Maybe he believes in god but I don't think of him as religious.

More the opposite. You can do a forced romantic subplot with sweethearts, AND you can have some romantic tension if and when different comic love interests show up, or just for shits and giggles. It's not like Banner and Widow have even had much interaction in the comics, but hey, we need a romantic couple to please the shippers.
and they, talked for a few minutes on screen.

Though if anyone needs serious speculation:

Tony: serious womanizer. Kind of surprised he's never made an ex-wife crack.
Cap: not exactly in demand male before the war. After, too busy adjusting.
Banner: nerd devoted to his work
Bucky: Been a bit occupied since the war.
Dr Strange: Jackass and self important. Needs to be single for stories with Clea from the comics.
Widow: too much red in her ledger she doesn't feel she can be happy
Thor: Frat boy warrior. He doesn't marry, and let's not get into what he might have done if true to viking spirit.

They may be superheroes but they're deeply fucked up in the head people when you really think about it.
Hawkeye is the most normal of them all and he's married. Ant-man is pretty normal isn't he? I didn't see his movie but isn't his only issue jail time? I know he has a kid but idk if he's married. But it would fit.
