30-year-olds cruising bars for no-strings hook-ups are less a sign of cultural decadence than of pessism, visionlessness & desperation When people are doing what you’d expect if an asteroid were going to hit the earth in 24 hours, it’s not because they’re too happy

Idk. If I wasn't married, I could see myself living moderately happy as a bachelor who sporadically hit up a bar here and there to try to get laid. Relationships are a lot of work and if I wouldn't have fallen so hard for my wife, I could see myself not settling down at all.

"Living moderately happy" and avoiding hard work is not an excellent strategy for the only life one has to live

Yet it's miles better than a ton of people in longterm relationships do. If you can find moderate happiness in life, you're doing pretty damn good imo.
