I don't need someone else in my life to be spending my hard earned cash. Scarily you may find that women these days have (sit down for this) jobs as well! And their own money! And in some countries they even have the vote! If this keeps up they will be just like us, wanting equal relationships and fun times. Goddamn them! However...my wife has her career and I have mine and we both make an equal contribution to our relationship in emotional terms. I think basically viewing women as money grabbing fiends that want to ruin your life and take the time you have for 3d, is excluding something good from what you can have in life. As Adl said you can work, do 3d and be married / date; people do things like that all the time, and some of them are even women. And being married / dating doesn't make you unreliable, bad at your job, or your hobby, you just improve your time management skills. Most of the people I know who are at the top of my profession are married and I don't think it has made them unreliable.
