Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't know about everyone else's opinion, but after being screwed over by several women, I've either learned my lesson or something has kicked in. Always wanted a good looking woman, I mean REAL BAD, and now that I got one, it doesn't seem to matter to me that much. Guess it's that situation where you always want what you can't have.
You can only eat so many blue M&M's before you want a red one!
Here's an idea. Start puttin so much money away a couple times a week, like money you would have spent on a date or flowers, etc. In a few months when you have a couple hundred racked up, you might realize it's not so bad.
One last idea, get a new hobby. When me and my buddy rode our horses into town (we live in southern IL), through the DRIVE THROUGH of a fast food place, we had 2 cars follow us to get our phone #'s. And another chick just stopped her car and got out and started talking to us, she was probably one of the hottest girls I've ever seen in that town. If riding horses isn't your thing, try motorcycles. I bought a CBR 600 F4i, and most women will definately turn their heads when they see a sportbike. Those things are so fast and fun to ride, you'll forget you are chasin girls and just have a great time riding.
