I'm not sure but whenever I see posts in Aunt Agony or Chit Chat about how to get girls people always mention money as being one of the most important things.

Thanks and don't flame me please because I'm admitting ignorance on the subject
I don't know if I can be considered as a local girl now since I have been out of Singapore for a while. Was born and partially bred in Singapore.
My expectations is that my potential partner can match up or have the potential to match up to my status. If he can do one better , then it is a bonus. This is because of Australian laws regarding separations -50/50 splits since I am in Australia now. Singapore - I think the same also.
Why would I want to get a guy who take my hard earned money and my assets? If he is a match to me , that way when it comes to split - nobody ends up with more or less on the financial front.
If he has a potential to do well but poor, I think I will be able to assess it for myself. Big ideas from men don't count until they actually start implementing it. I know one guy who dated me - he used to be damn poor but he had ideas and he went to another state to carry out his ideas. He and I are still friends because I was the only girl who believed that he could make it ( and he also eat off my leftovers to scrimp his money). He is now moaning about the same thing I am talking about. He is a millionaire working on his 6th property and he cannot find his match because most women are after his money.
It is not materialism . It is pragmatism on my part and his part. Most relationships have a money factor in falling out.
