If you find a stingy hot woman, I don't see how you could use more money.

Many women are stingy... with their own money. Hot women get tons of advances from guys. Guys with money. Guys who offer to spend that money on women, and hot women can afford to shop around. If somehow you end up marrying one of these women, she will still be stingy with her own money, but she'll spend yours like she stole it... which she did.
When you as a man get married, you give up a lot of things...
-The final word on how your money is spent (denying your wife money is now considered domestic violence).
-Your independence. Kiss your friends, hobbies and fun cars goodbye.
-Your money. What you don't realize is that after the flowery ceremony, the two of you form a government-approved corporation. If this corporation is dissolved, not only will you lose at least half of your assets off the bat, but you'll be responsible for maintaining her standard of living as yours is turned upside down. Even if you never get divorced, good luck finding a woman who understands economics, saving, investing, stocks, etc. Most women are emotional spenders and advertisers know this. She won't care that driving a used four cylinder is more sensible than a BMW SUV, her friends have one, and she should have one too. Does she care that it might delay your retirement by 4 years? "2 can live as cheaply as 1" does not apply to marriage, it never did. It's true for male roommates, and true for female roommates, but never for married people. Nobody is more concerned with keeping up with the Joneses than American women. Sorry, but it's true. Mr. Jones is leveraged up to his eyeballs. You really want to keep up with him? Then you have to worry about the vast social network she brings with her, inlaws, friends, nephews, nieces, etc, etc, etc. Don't worry about your weekends, you'll have plenty of weddings, birthday parties, graduation parties, baptisms/bar mitzvahs, anniversaries to attend and buy presents for. How exciting! If you work overtime to pay for all these things, you'll be "emotionally unavailable" and "neglectful". If you don't, you're "unmotivated" and "lazy". The Arabs had a saying... "Women want fried ice".
-Your kids. Father's rights are not respected in this country (whether you're married or not). Unless she happens to have a needle in her arm while in family court, SHE WILL GET THE KIDS and there's nothing you can do about it. Look on TV, women are considered the more parental, responsible sex while men are walking wallets and doofuses. The courts feel the same way. Don't be fooled, just like your money, your kids belong to her and you'll see them only as long as she's gracious enough to extend you the privilege.
Also, if you think you'll get a fair shake in family court because of the gender-neutral language, think again. It's gender neutral in theory, but if you want to see the practice, read that book I recommended. Like I said, it could save your life (I'm talking to you, tasdrouille! There's still time, man.)
So after all these huge liabilities I've listed, I challenge someone to tel me: What benefits does marriage give a man that he can not get while unmarried?
