Dating is literally not enjoyable. It’s sucks. Dying alone is the sane option. >

Dying? Bleh.

dating is completely voluntary so it is easily avoidable. job hunting can be avoided also by joining military or going on disability or just being homeless >

Still important though, which is what OP said.  The two biggest factors in your long term happiness and success are going to come down to relationships and finances - who you spend your life with and how you make/manage your money.
You can avoid building a good life for yourself, but you'd be shortchanging yourself, it's a waste.
Aside, it's super odd that schools barely even pretend to offer financial or relationship education, given how much they matter.  If you rolled snake eyes on the parents you got it will be so much harder. >

just... don't date its that simple, half you're problems are solved!
