how does a girlfriend drain your resources more than a wife? you can walk away from a girlfriend and move on like she never existed whenever you want
your wife can cheat on you and get impregnated by another man, the court system will still take her side and make you pay

Oh yes, that is correct considering in this mommy tyranny/female dictatorship/matriarchy, we have a degenerated court system in which a woman can wake up tomorrow, announce that she's "bored", head for a divorce lawyer and impoverish a a man.
However I was speaking in a context of a would-be normal system.
Unless a man is having the same interactions with a "girlfriend" that he would with a prostitute, literally just fornicating and nothing else is involved, he typically spends enormous amounts of time with this woman, sometimes living with her, and spending money on her with no outcome or future in sight (no children, no wealth building). If middle-aged men wish to engage in this scheme, sort of like an adult who plays with toy trucks, they can do so. But it's a hefty price for sex and that oh-so coveted female validation that men desperately want these days.
Having a girlfriend usually involves infatuation and romantic nonsense that will end. And after it ends there is not much there. Whereas if a man has a normal wife who will not be fleecing him, there will likely be children and a time-tested bond made, along with relationships with in-laws and friends made through the marriage.
I understand there are men who constantly want new girlfriends for intense romantic feelings, hence the "serial monogamy", and female validation. They want that versus a prostitute because "bro, a prostitute doesn't really like you."
