    Don’t get married or have kids and you won’t have to suffer through this crap. For the man, there’s no benefit to getting married. None. Better to stay single and become a serial dater. Better for your career, your wallet, and your long-term sanity.

    Harsh – and sad – but that’s what the system has created.

    (Refer to “Leykis 101” for the new rules.)

    Just a thought.
