The truth is that the /hum/ part is kinda of a success. It's the history threads that are a complete joke.
Well, a cynic wouldn't be very likely to travel, whats the point, they need that money for something else.
A cynic isn't going to be well sexed because they assume people will just try and use them
And well paid, well whats the point in asking for a raise when your boss is an asshole, they won't give it no matter how hard you work.
Its pretty much stereotypes some truth to it but not always true.
And then people will argue a real cynic would have to be all of those things.

This is just an aspirational myth.
The people who have everything are extremely likely to fall into depression privately. Because they don't have the "if only I had X" delusion.
Solomon is a great historical example. He spent all his time studying and fucking a harem, and then wrote the most depressing part of the Bible. "All is vanity."
