theory is one thing....practicality in todays world is another.
most gals want millionaires for husbands,,,be it if gals are from malaysian small town or singapore.
i din read all of what u wrote but $$$ made must be sufficient to lead what gals demand.woulld u rather ride in a crowded mrt train or a taxi?gals also got better expectations of life like u and me!
sure we are livin in todays world where gals n boys earn almost the same or more...but still getting a good gal who is like what u describe is like asking for the perfect woman.ya be lucky she dun hiss and curse ya!
mod can consolidate this sort of bashing, flaming thread of the same topic to one thread. This is repetitive and waste space.
Sg men so full of grievances, sigh! r l l !

a job that earns about a million $$$ when u retire??its expensive in todays world.
so where is the job??not any cleaner job will do.....or end up in small room waiting for old age.
Minigun,
The practical truth is, money isnt everything. I've been there and know what's it like, to be fetted like a prince, dismissed like a beggar and had to crawl back to where I am to realize this. But who or what I am is not important.
The important one here is you. I had my share of women in life, to know that there are gold diggers, but more critically, women who are solid pure gold themselves. How much money do you really need? $100k, $1mil, $1bil? Is it ever enough? And for what?
The reason is only to support a lifestyle.
Do you need to be fed on abalone daily? I've known of friends who got sick of it and ended up feeding to their pet dogs. Holidays in Rome? Is it any different on TV documentary? Skiing in swiss alps? Trudged up in mud? Havent we have mud in Spore too?
A porche? nothing more than a box in 4 wheels to get to point A to pt B? Get you to your destination faster, but to do what? Fear crowds and mingling? Do we live on a secluded private island where no crowd exists?
I will not deny there are women who prefer the good life, but there are women who are realistic. All such women want is security and your sincerity, to take care of them. Some will not even mind sharing their last piece of bread with you.
However, you as a man must never take such women for granted. They exist and may be more than you realize. Similarly, they too are only looking for men who will take care of them, love them, cherish them, and never to take them for granted, regardless of his station in life.
The only problem is you - what are you really looking for? Cindy Crawford ? Paris Hilton? Without which you rather spend your live alone? Or suffer from the fate of fatalism, having low esteem of yourself and believing you are incapable of anything in life except for a small room? Even that, does a small room matters if you are kept sheltered?
If roadsweepers or cargo hands can get married and have kids, why not you? And where else in this world does any govt pays you money while you attend courses so that you can upgrade and earn more money, nowhere else other than our Singapore society today?
Sorry, Minigun, I am afraid I cannot rationally accept your excuses. You alone determine your actions and what you want, and its performances determine your rewards.
go read the book - cracking the communication book.
depends lah.. there are some who are not materialistic and they want faithfulness, honesty and basically companionship especially when they are stress or sad need someone to share the sadness with them..
but there are some who are bent on marrying rich guys..
To balance the discussion, given a choice and all else being equal, most guys would want to go out with a pretty girl only.
So what's wrong with girls wanting guys who are handsome, rich, faithful, kind, generous, caring, good tempered, well mannered and committed?
Oh yeah, and he needs to like kids too.
Really. ![]()

Really.
may i correct you abit?
most guys want to go out with a girl who appeals to them aesthetically. it's different from the desire to go out with a girl who is pretty.

Dislike the govt all you want. It's your personal freedom of choice.
But do know those money being funded is society's money - our money - yours, mine, our families, relatives and friends, and legislated/approved by our elected representatives in Parliament, not Ah Kong's money, to help the less well off in this real and critical dire times in a concerted effort to raise them up.

Normally i dont reply to snide remarks, but if you have to resort to allegations of unfounded happenings out of personal hatred, jealousies,etc, at least do have the courtesy to do it with more intelligence and more credibilitity.
I fear not for myself for i am insignificant, only sharing an insight, but its your own rationality at stake, and i have no wish for a fellow singaporean to be branded a fool, least of all a nutcase and let this thread be hijacked by you to serve your own deluded and foolish ego.

The reasons why it reminds me of government propoganda / speeches:
1) "Do you need to be fed on abalone daily?" - don't have to buy branded stuff, go for cheaper generic no name brands. It's all the same.
2) Transportation - Porsche brings you from pt A to pt B. Similar to asking people to take public transportation.
3) Don't be so choosy in terms of a life partner - don't have to look for Cindy Crawford or Paris Hilton. Self explanatory.
4) Government pays for your courses to upgrade. Self explanatory.
5) "You alone determine your actions and what you want, and its performances determine your rewards" - concept of meritocracy.
Ok, I will stop referencing your post further in order not to hijack this thread. ![]()

That's by a stretch that your dislike for the govt imagination playing out and linking to it, akin to seeing the devil's face in every passing cloud in the sky, or just a personal dislike of me, but I have no issues with it, for it is your perceptions and belief system and your right.
I guess i must thank you on behalf of other readers for not hijacking this thread further. Thank you.

Well said.
To all the guys out there like TS, I have one phrase for you -
"If you look in the toilet, why should you be surprised you found shit?"
Clearly you people are looking for "right" girls in all the wrong places. Or maybe you don't even know what "right" girls are like. And instead of acting like a man and stop looking in the toilet, you like to come here and grumble.
I am sure we have fair share of materialisic people (men and women included, dun always make as if only women can be materialistic), I am damn sure we have a lot of gold diggers girls out there, but there are at least as many good women as there are bad women out there.
As for you whiners, I think there are more of you than the gold diggers women. You either make a decision to stop looking in the toilet, or you can continue to eat shit for the rest of your lives.
Get it? You're looking for love in the wrong places, in the wrong people, and at the end of the day you only have yourselves to blame.

I guess you are quite the cassonova. You have already dated most girls in Singapore (by that I guess simple arithmetic you mean >50% of the girls inSingapore).
How glad I am my friends and I are in the minority to have not dated you!
