-Women in their prime are encouraged to go to school - instead of having children first and then going to school. Women are even less likely to get married after schooling
-women are encouraged to play male roles and brainwashed into hating female roles
-rampant obesity
-rampant cultural polygamy
-divorce culture and alimony
-welfare
-abortion
People play life like a game according to the rules that are in place. Our current situation doesnt allow ~70 of society to succeed at marriage anymore.
Some people succeed and thrive still. But not many. It really doesnt look good for most.
All of the issues you've listed are directly related to conservative policy, except the first one which is just you being an incel.
Obesity is directly caused by farm subsidies making HFCS dirt cheap.
Cultural polygamy has literally always existed.
Divorce culture has literally never existed.
Welfare is an objective good and the problems with it stem from conservatives cutting the most important parts to kneecap the program as a whole.
Abortion is directly caused by conservative sexual education policy.

happiness isnt always a worthwhile goal. if it were most would live in 2 bedroom apartments work part time jobs and collect govt subsidies while binge watching whatever is on the netflix top 10.
the desire to better one's self rarely gives a pure drip of happiness, nor should it.
Depends on your definition of happiness. I think a feeling of accomplishment is definitely a factor in whether or not you are happy for most people. If I won the lottery I'd probably stay at my current job, and if anything I'd donate some to the lab so we could afford more techs.
I was absolutely miserable for the past ~14 days, but I'm over the moon since I just got an email from our pathologist that all of our slides are finally looking good enough to interpret.

I prefer the choice where 80% of society works. And women were happier ironically.
Your point is true though, and it is why its so hard not to laugh at atheists whose premise towards marriage is “wed be better off behaving like animals”.
Even china is smarter than us on this subject with their culture of 剩女.
I've literally never heard a single atheist say we'd be better if we behaved like animals, or even come within a 10 miles radius of it. You're just dumb.
