What I feel wrong in all the sentences: either use singular forms only or plural forms only, do not mix. For example write A Young man with a girlfriend is generally happier than a young man without a girlfriend. A Young man who has a girlfriend is generally happier than one who doesn't have a girlfriend.

- Also it is better to write the last two sentences like this: A man with two girlfriends lead s a double life.
- A man who has two girlfriends lead s a double life.

You mean to say that the last two sentences make it sound as if there are only two girlfriends and a bunch of men?It is better that way. In the original sentence a reader could easily conceive that you are talking about men in general, and they will pretty much understand what you are trying to say. Who knows? Maybe it is even acceptable in practical usage.
