What do you guys think about this?

I see a trend amongst my male friends and family, of stumbling blindly through their love lives and ending up financially neutered by the divorce/break up. Whilst the kids must be protected, it seems the wives become savage and the courts lean their way more than would seem balanced.

So what to do? I have no intention of getting married in the near future, if at all frankly, but eventually I will want to settle down with one girl. I suppose part of the value of self development is that you gain a certain wisdom about types of people that you involve yourself with, rather than trusting in "fate".

Any guys on here who suffered this and ended up studying pickup? Would be interesting to know your take on it in retrospect. I don’t want to get so cynical I shut the right girl out and it's not like I'm a squillionairre, but on the other hand I’ll be fucked if I’ll jeopardise the stability I’ve worked my bollocks off to create over the last decade.
