I found relationships unfrugal and am saving a lot more money now.

As a man I've discovered that a lot of what it takes to keep a relationship afloat involves more money than I'd like to invest--trips to Olive Garden instead of Micky D's, dates to the movies and stuff where I could have just waited a few months for the torrent and we could have watched it on my computer, stuff like that.

I stopped being heavily invested in women and I've found I'd saved a lot of money (upwards to $450 in 3 months!) by focusing on one-night stands and open, lose relationships than buckling down with any woman for a long period of time. My bank account has never been more secure.

Just an idea I'd throw out to young men that are at a point of their life where money is really tight and social pressures might drive them to spend more than they should.
