laughable freak story..Pls go and make frankenstein..better still...Originally posted by SpecOps87:Correct me if i'm wrong...but i've heard of some of the older generation saying that Mr. X once had this policy or like STRONG recommendation for people of the same calibre ie. ITE with ITE, POLY with POLY, JC with JC, Deg. with Deg. sorta marriage so as to ensure the offsprings are of higher calibre and not cross-bred to end up having freaks. Is that true?
come on, this sort of thing is not proven to be true..
u heard of families where parents are not so educated but children are distinction grade graduates? -
Haiz, the pursuit of happiness.
A man in love is incomplete until he has married -- then he's finished.
I never knew what real happiness was until I got married and by then it was too late.
All the marriages are happy; it's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.

if this is the case, i prefer to remain single...Originally posted by charlize:Ok, ok, you win.
Go get married, have 3 wonderful kids, get a small car, get a small HDB flat with a low paying job.
Make sure you save up some money for your kids tertiary education in 20 years' time and also some money enough for your retirement. -

who said poly must earn less than degree? There are always exceptions.
Blame the guy for not working hard/change job, get promotion and earn more.
Blame the girl for being too practical.
or simply blame that their love for each other is simply not enough. -

Anyway, I believe the theory is true (at least to me) womenfolk my age (18-21) prefer guys from well to do families. I'm embarrassed to be privileged that my parents gave me platinum supp. credit cards. Recently I went out with a girl whom I had known for quite some time, but didn't have the opportunity to date at all. Her expectation of a guy is must have looks, brains and $$.
So on our outing when I paid for our meal with the card, u could see that her eyes widened. And she asked to see the card as well. From then, she has always taken the initiative to ask me out etc.This brings me to the deduction that sadly....and most tragically...money is a big motivating factor...at least for that girl. Ps. I'm not flaunting or anything, in fact I'm embarrassed to be privileged and have left my cards at home since that experience and kept this particular girl at arms length, limited to only MSN conversations.
I mean, I'm only 20 and what I have is what my parents give me. If she wants to be well off...she shud go after my dad man, not me. -

some unsincere rich guy is gonna come and jilt her or use her for his own ulterior motives. lucky she met u -
Yet another discussed to death topic
-
the ideal couple
Sincere witty, strong willed man who is eager to be well trained in life
nurturing loving woman who is sincere who has the love of life
this has been found in ancient times. During those times u can find Intellectual women of a higher society falling in love with male servants or soldiers who exibit male characteristics
but over the course of history such ideals were distorted by the invention of the biggest scam in the world - paper money
people now just dont believe in this sort of things anymore -
Now you have the advantage, why not use her and then give her the boot, like throw away old clothes?Originally posted by SpecOps87:I dunnoe man...till now I wonder who was this influential Mr. X...tsktsk.

this girl is maybe 18-21, still young..Originally posted by googoomuck:Now you have the advantage, why not use her and then give her the boot, like throw away old clothes?
when she grows older she will realise she will have to give "something" in return for the money. she will know that there is not much difference between her and a prostitute -
Actually why should I even be bothered? I will waste time, money and ultimately end up with nothing. On top of that, given her character, she will definitely badmouth me and I will end up being the brat that took everything from her and left her with nothing. I would rather be the guy that has every characteristic a female wants and desires in her guy, but am unable to get, only for that lucky one girl. Besides, I make it a point to pay back what ever amount I swipe off the card though my parents are still concerned if I have enough money to spend. Its simply a principle...being given the card is a privilege and not an entitlement. So I won't take advantage of it by busting a big hole in it.Originally posted by googoomuck:Now you have the advantage, why not use her and then give her the boot, like throw away old clothes? -
Money is usually a long term issue that cannot be solved as easy or quick as differences or disputes.

$$ will always be part of the thing to be discussed on the table.
the girl may love you for initial part of your inner self, but when her practical side comes into the picture, well nothing much can be said.
Most of the time, it is always peer pressure.
"look at my LV bag"
"my husband buy big diamond ring for me on my birthday"
"my husband got me a maid so that i can relax after my work"
"I no need to work cos my husband can make a lot of money"
I have already seen a few of my friends who are in agony now due to money matters. Too much money also problem, too little also not enough..
So best is to understand more of your other half before committing into a marriage, do not make innocent children of yours to suffer because of your wrong decision. They do not deserve to be in a broken family.
Cheers. -
I totally agree with your above 2 points. I mean...come to think of it, not that I'm being a total MCP, but is it just me? Or is it that we men never succumb to peer pressure of the above variety. And yes...to girls out there whom think that just because your friends have luxurious overseas trips, LV bags, big ass diamond ring etc.etc...do think of the fact that have guys ever complain that you look horrible, ugly, say that you're fat?Originally posted by sLeEpWaLkErInG:$$ will always be part of the thing to be discussed on the table.

Anyway...this problem will only get worse...it won't improve because society is driven by money. In school it may be the kid with the highest grades that speak loudest, but at the end of the day, in life its the one with the biggest bank account and the biggest spending power that speak the loudest.
So yes...let's just face it...man is selfish,but society just aids the process of us showing our true colours.
On a side note, this particular Mr.X's plan on Graduate's Mother's scheme...isn't that no different from what some German guy tried to during WW2? To purify the world by having a pure Aryan race? -

look at the ecosystem: there are many plants and animals whic are so different with one another yet so similar and they contribute in a similar fashion to the survival of the ecosystem. ...trying to make them the same in all aspects will just backfire cos in the end its this diversity which drives nature's ecosystem and its a safeguard to prevent a particular species from gaing power to control everything else.
Mother nature is brilliant. She knows what she wants -
that mr. x's plan is the dumbest piece f sh&t i ever heard..

'If you don't include your women graduates in your breeding pool and leave them on the shelf, you would end up a more stupid society. The men don't believe me. Every year, I produce them the results. You marry that kind of a wife, you get this kind of a result. They close their minds. I think we are not going to become as good a society as we were with each generation...This is the basic stock of success. If you don't have this, you can have the best human resources programme, but your human resource is poor.' - MM Lee

.. he should have gone into Farming instead of politics... -
It would be amazing if people believed what he had said.
He has a great mind no doubt because his pet theories took a long time to be proven wrong.
He said that in the 80s. Now it's 2008. We can see that it has not gone anywhere.
For example, we have Hairdo Lim, Bargain Hen , The Horse, Georgie Boy, BioTech hub Yeo and many more....
And his own family? Good genes or bad genes? We all should know by now. -
Wah...I never say Mr. X is who hor...I just heard lah. Not confirm...just heard. Don't liddat leh...skali ISD come catch we all siah. Tsk tsk...Anyway...who say Mr. Lee's family no good genes? All CEO, Director, Chairman...where got no good? How many of you can be CEO, Director and Chairman in your life? I think at most people become their CCA chairman only. But right...I dunnoe man...mebbe The Man and ERP King...how they get their statistics? I think all must study accounting to give this type of fantastic figures...tsktsk...I should have studied accounting too so can anyhow also pluck nice number, but tell people that we are not making money.Originally posted by googoomuck:It would be amazing if people believed what he had said.
