I'm seeing three big generalizations there :

- Women want to have a baby
- Women want to be with a guy
- Money is important in relationships

Any one of those will alienate a significant part of an audience.

If you're looking for a variation on the old idiom "marry in haste, repent at leisure" (which avoids generalization of specific groups by being entirely general), a search on the phrase should give some nice alternative ways of expressing the same concept.
