Or have a look at my post volume and maybe realise that no one asks for evidence because I have always supplied them with copious amounts from highly legitimate sources?
And why am I not pleasant? Because I'm not impressed with modern women? That means I have standards, nothing else
But as sources, I'll give you something a bit more tasty:

or Hegel, the unhappy consciousness is divided against itself, separated from its “essence”, which it has placed in a “beyond”. Marx used essentially the same notion to portray the situation of modern individuals — especially modern wage labourers — who are deprived of a fulfilling mode of life because their life-activity, as socially productive agents, is devoid of any sense of communal action or satisfaction, and gives them no ownership over their own lives or their products. In modern society, individuals are alienated, in so far as their common human essence, the actual co-operative activity which naturally unites them, is power-less in their lives, which are subject to an inhuman power — created by them, but separating and dominating them instead of being subject to their united will. This is the power of the market, which is “free” only in the sense that it is beyond the control of its human creators, enslaving them by separating them from one another, from their activity, and from its products. The German verbs entäussern and entfremden are reflexive, and, in both Hegel and Marx, alienation is always fundamentally self-alienation. Fundamentally, to be alienated is to be separated from one’s own essence, or nature; it is to be forced to lead a life in which that nature has no opportunity to be fulfilled or actualized. In this way, the experience of ‘alienation’ involves a sense of a lack of self-worth, and an absence of meaning in one’s life.
Now take a guess when that was written?
So yes, wanting that Ipad, wanting that phone whilst ignoring your family is going to drive you into the ground.
