They limited to a group of men that happen to be divorced (but escaped unscratched) and happen to have some level of wealth/high_salary.

Would I rather be married for 5 years to a cheating psycho that takes 50% of my net worth after the divorce OR never being married? The answer is simple: never being married.

However, would I rather “never being married” or formerly married that escaped unscratched and happen to have some level of wealth? It doesn’t matter in this case.
