This isn't written by me, I have just copied and pasted an essay this dude wrote to me. I read the whole thing and thought maybe some of the guys here could benefit from it. Younger guys especially, take notes, LTR/Marriage game is like bitch management on steroids. Here's what he had to say:

I've never known a happily married man, and I'm a middle aged man myself. They're not going to say it in front of their mates, it takes about 3 days away from her before the truth starts to come out (such as a hunting trip, when he'll start to remember how much fun it was to be free again). After you're married and that first or second kid comes into play, when she's in her early 30s, that's when the trouble starts. She knows how miserable you are, and will pour salt into the wound at every chance. She will brow-beat you into thinking that this IS happiness, and pretty soon you'll start believing it. She has a guaranteed income from you with those two kids under her belt. It's around this time that she'll start withholding sex, like you're a trained dog. And pretty soon it will be weeks or months between those sexual encounters. Her body has gone to hell and you may not even want to touch her anymore, prefering masturbation. The worst part of being married is that she'll demand that paycheck and give you an allowance so she knows where every penny goes.

If you have a good job and she decides "WE'D BE MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT DAD." (Oprah's never ending mantra), then treat this next piece of advice as if it were a stack of gold bars. Here it is: She will divorce you thinking she'll get a nice fat child support and alimony paycheck from you every month. T-bone her bullshit and quit that high paying job, then take a drastically lower paying job, like working at 7-11 or as a security guard sitting on your ass all night. The judge has to let you have enough money to cover a roof over your head, food, and basic essentials. Take a job that pays just enough to cover these. If you have to get food stamps, so what, do so (it's just a debit card now, no one will know). Same with insurance, Obamacare has you covered (even if it fails to go through, there will always be public assistance of some kind).

It's either the above or get raped every payday by that cunt, as she takes all your happiness away anyway-- meaning money.

For extra money you can always start a business off the books, sell your expertise. Don't do business with banks, use check cashing places-- I use Walmart, $3.oo no matter how big the check is. Even better, offer a large discount for all-cash customers. Don't keep records of any kind except inside your head. Preferably live in another state where it would be expensive as hell to have you watched. Do all of your business out of a post office box. Go to the DMV and change your address to this post office box. If they pry for an address either tell them you're homeless or give them the address of a homeless shelter. But you MUST do all of your business out of that PO box, and receive things like your food stamp debit card there and any correspondence with public assistance. I live in a southwestern state in the USA, where if you are chronically homeless for two years they will even get you an apartment. Everything I've talked about here is from first hand experience and has worked for me for over 35 years now.

If you're young enough then maybe you'll read this before it's too late and avoid marriage and kids altogether. From experience kids are just going to grow up and hate you anyway, so why bother. The kids who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths seem to end up hating their parents the most. To them it's a clock ticking, just to get those parents buried so they can get the fortune for themselves. They, in turn end up having kids of their own who feel the same way about them.

Perhaps you see me as a bitter old man, a scoundrel, a dead beat, that may very well be the case. But if I can save one young guy from falling into this trap and actually have a happy life, it's worth it. You have to think these dark thoughts to survive in life. Not everyone is born into money and the happiness it can bring.
