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.

To gain anything useful from this question, it is necessary to define what criteria are being used to determine if a relationship is "successful". The question and the resulting responses are useless otherwise. There is quite a difference between "I'm not very happy in my marriage, we never have sex, my wife nags me constantly, I work 60 hours a week and have to do all the housework, but my wife hasn't divorced me and taken the kids and my house (yet?)" compared to "me and my amazingly hot 10/10 wife have sex everyday, she is perfectly obedient to me, as are our ten home-schooled children who are in perfect in every way".
As if everyone's definition of success in a relationship is the same - only a fool would pretend it doesn't matter. Some men are happy if their relationships produce children, others want their wives to support them in some way, others are focused on sex lives. It's autistic to think that there is some kind of universal definition of "relationship success" for everyone, and not only that, everyone just knows what this is without needing to talk about it.
