I've experienced my happiness dependent on a girl/what a girl does. What you say is pretty interesting to me. I forget what kind of person you are (cause that could easily answer my question), but how is someone supposed to ever find a partner (i.e. for marriage) if they rarely ever invest much into the relationship. I mean, I understand you point that the more you invest, the more you lose. But how do you know when to invest the correct amount to where, if things don't go south, things will go fantastic, but on the other hand, if things do go south, you don't lose a heck of a lot? Where's the mean/middle ground? If you're not much of a 'marriage' kind of guy, that explains it, I think. I'm just curious of what you think the ideal amount of investment in a relationship is. Personally, I'd like to know, since I have no idea how much of myself I should be putting in a relationship.
