I might even know more divorced people than married people, because I live in godless Los Angeles, where if you're engaged it simply means you're publicly announcing that you are dating a person monogamishly. I
Mindy Kaling humorously reflects on the nature of relationships in Los Angeles, a city she describes as lacking strong religious values. She observes that many of her acquaintances seem to be divorced rather than married, suggesting a higher prevalence of unsuccessful marriages in her social circle. This observation highlights the casual and often temporary nature of relationships in a city known for its entertainment industry and fleeting connections.
Kaling's comment about engagement implies that in her experience, announcing an engagement does not necessarily indicate a stable commitment, but rather a public acknowledgment of a romantic involvement. This perspective underscores the more relaxed attitudes toward relationships in her environment, where the concept of monogamy may be viewed differently than in more traditional settings.
