> without men and women having reasons to be in relationships--especially long-term reasons--then relationships won't happen.

I'm actually fine with this. I'm not sure I want to be around the same person constantly for longer than a few years and I'm glad modern life allows me to do that. Leaving my family when I became an adult was the best thing I ever did.

I'm sure someone out there's thinking or about to say "families are the basis of a stable society" and that's incorrect. The basis of a stable society is having enough money. Without that, families are simply going to be a performative thing to satisfy angry people and/or busybodies.

I'm really sorry for you. I hope you will have someone to love you someday. No amount of money can bring that kind of happiness.
Many people love me, and I love many people. Love exists outside of exclusive sexual relationships and/or ones designed to encourage breeding.
