sound like taiwanese drama!Originally posted by Yunhaier:I had this good friend who once dated a rich girl. The parents despise him, thinking that he's in a relationship with her because of the money (and at the point of time, he wasn't very well educated as well, although he has now completed his private diploma). There was once his girlfriend invited him back for family dinner, which includes her family and some relatives. Of course her parents weren't very happy because it was the gf's decision to ask him, not that of her parents. Sensing the hostility, at the dinner table, he stood up and stunned everyone with his speech (In Mandarin).
(Translation) 'Uncle... Auntie, I know I am not rich and neither am I very educated. But even if I was destined to remain poor all my life, I would never take a single cent from your family. And if I were to marry her in the future, I would support her with my own means and promise that she and the kids would have three meals and a roof over her head... even if it means I must go hungry and have none myself.'
Everyone was shocked and his gf cried. Her uncle stood up, raise his beer and shout 'Hao! (Good in Mandarin), before telling him that he fancied his personality. Later he wanted my friend to work for him (they are doing construction business), but my friend rejected his kindness - telling him that he wants to depend on himself to make it big, not because of connection or her family influence.

Cheers
anyway, think the guy is lucky. but if anyone goin to follow suit hoping to get that kind of result, better think twice or thrice. some elders, esp the snobbish, may think that that is embarassing esp if it is done in the presence of relatives/friends. -
Sounds like Hong Kong drama. Your friend has a backbone and a real belief. Belief that he can carve a niche for himself and the gal. Its nice and beautiful in a sense. I am very sure you feel great to have a good friend like him as you are to him too.Originally posted by Yunhaier:I had this good friend who once dated a rich girl.

you actually will realise you're the minority.Originally posted by Vindictiv3:actually i dun agree with this...
to this day i still love my ex very deeply..
he doesnt earn very very high pay.
just enough to live comfortably.
but i love him..
and to make u understand this clearer.
I was born very very poor till mum married sum1 richer.
half my life was spents sleeping on floors, eating preserved veggies and fish sauce.
the other half spent in comfort and luxury.
once uve lived in both worlds, u find money so much more mundane.you will actually find it useless..
even though my ex and i arent otgether anymore. i love him for him..
i didnt need his money, my family was so much richer..
his was from a poor family.
but i love him for the moments i spent beside him..
after the break up.
i had a guy..
who was so deeply in love wit me, who offered and tried to give me cars and pradas, condos..
even then i turned him down because i loved my ex.
i couldnt find myself lovin just for money.
so not all women are like that..
not every one chose money over love -
lol,
Be it a rich guy n poor guy....
A guy must be able to depend himself and the other partner
