So I saw on my Facebook newsfeed today a girl I went to high school and college with got engaged. We're both 29.

She was an incredibly pretty girl in high school - short, skinny, blonde, just great genetics all around. I never dated her, and I don't think I even talked to her - I was socially shy and not good with women. A few years later, we went to the same college. We didn't move in the same circles here either, but I did at least attempt to talk to her once or twice, and she was always a pleasant sight to see - we'd talk once every few months maybe.

Then, in my junior year, I noticed she was gone. It was subtle at first, I wasn't really looking for her, she was just one of the people I expected to see as the months went by. Years went by, and I never saw her again.

Then, in the build-up to the ten year reunion (which I didn't go to), a bunch of people from high school add each other. At one point I see her recommended as a friend and at this point I had discovered game, so I think, "Sure, why not."

It turns out she had become a single mother from some AF in college.

She was still pretty, but you could tell her looks were starting to fade. I also noticed she posted a lot of pictures with a guy who was relatively overweight, but seemed to be in a lot of baller social situations and vacations - all of which he took her on.

I clicked his name, and it turns out he started a major business in the area, and he's pretty much set for life.

So now, this man who is absolutely in the top 1% (at the very least, the top 10%) in wealth, who can go on trips to anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat - is engaged to a former CC-riding aging single mother.

Don't be that man. He's slovenly and fat - but he doesn't have to be. He's taking care of a aging single mother's alpha bastard, and he doesn't have to be. He'll probably be divorce raped in a few years, and he doesn't have to be.

Always be vigilant, always stay in shape, and always guard your money.
