Pretty much everything is a matter of opinion when it comes to writing.

Or perhaps that should be: When it comes to writing, pretty much everything is a matter of opinion.

Or: When it comes to writing, everything is pretty much a matter of opinion.

Still, anyone who thinks that "ever to let a woman in my life" is better than "to ever let a woman in my life" is someone whose writing I probably don't want to read. :)

Really? "than ever to let a woman in my life" doesn't sound at all awkward to me, whereas I think attempts to avoid using prepositions at the ends of sentences often sound INCREDIBLY awkward. So that's a "rule" I never pay attention to :-)
