Yes I know many many couples that are the picture perfect advertisement for marriage. Don't we all? But I don't know the shadow side of these couples; only they do.
And if everyone met "someone really great today" well we'd be closer to contentment. This style of pedestrian thinking I have issues with. It gives this egocentric tone that, it works for the majority, get on board. Stop complaining & be the proverbial lemming.
I said that in MY observation and experience in real life (specifically mine) only two categories of people are complain that marriage is some kind of scam.

In my observation people who are relatively content with their life, either single or married, don't complain about society shaming them or conspiring against something single people and marriage is a scam. It appears than what people complain about is a projection of their own struggles and lack of satisfaction with their own lives rather than some kind of universal truth. That's my observation of people making generalizations.

It's just my observation in real life

Overall we can agree to disagree. You think marriage is society scam and I think it's a choice.
