I figured it would be interesting/ enlightening to hear from users who have found happy relationships in modern society and how they met. I know how much we love to make hating posts on the stupidity of modernity, but posts from guys that have successfully found stable relationships despite the cultural zeitgeist is just as important/ informative.

And that percentage of people will equate to 70-80% of people according to recent data. Despite Internet lore, most people are in relationships and met in closed social groups online or offline. Those who aren't happy with their cards in life or have nothing to lose will of course air their grievances as they have the freedom to but the conversation around modern dating will focus on those who aren't in relationships, the promiscuous ten per cent and the other ten per cent of long term singles. Those in relationships just get on with it and don't have time to discuss in detail about it.
Where do you get the numbers that the majority of people are in relationships? All stats I have seen show majority of people are not in relationships, and birth rates have fallen hard.
The General Social Survey data that was released earlier this year. Most people have one partner in a relationship situation, decreasingly married but increasingly co-habiting.
Interesting. All the surveys passed around on the red pill sites show less relationships, with more men having less sex while women seem to be aggregating around a small percentage of men (or lying to polls and claiming they are in a relationship when they are not).
They focus on the 18-29 range of men where just over half of men are single. The problem is, it doesn't give the full picture as the numbers are higher with 18-24 men but much lower with 25-29 men. Numbers of single younger women are lower than men for two reasons - women date and marry older men on average and there is a larger surplus of men.
