Modern relations seems like a health hazard

Going the lone road is perhaps somewhat typical of INTPs for a myriad of reasons. That said, after some extensive and long-term analysis of modern relations, I can’t seem to not think that romance in this day and age is more dangerous than playing russian roulette. Why? Most governments nowadays seem to have made it so a woman is actively encouraged and rewarded for breaking a marriage contract, and punishing the men even if they did nothing wrong. Whether through alimony or child support, the system seems rigged to actively harm males. What man who’s not a delusional idealist would take such a risk? Why? "Innocent until proven guilty" is also gone now. Most people will believe a woman over a man if she claims he did a horrible crime towards her, without proof. And even when a man is proven innocent, his reputation is still destroyed indefinitely. This is just a couple out of dozens of reasons to not engage in romance. Whatever hope I once had of one day having 4+ kids and an old-fashioned, rural life is essentially non-existant. Why hedge our bets on such terrible odds? Vast majority of marriages end in divorce, and I can only assume that half of those that don’t are still misserable. Anyhow, this was just some random 06 am thoughts after a night of no sleep. The list of red flags people have to look out for nowadays is long enough to reach the moon and back. And before anyone goes "Just don’t get married", there are laws in several nations that will still come after you if you’re in a long-term relationship or cohabitating.
