my 2 cents

I think i am growing up. Tonight's clubbing session seems to have little or no bearing on me.

In fact, it seems rather tedious having to dress up.

Argh...what am i becoming??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, on a more serious level, here's my opinion on mimosa's last post.

Firstly, i'd agree that love is conditional...women are especially practical in Singapore where everything is overpriced and most people are underpaid. However, i just cannot agree with the high-handed moralizing tone and sweeping statements that were employed in the post.

Not all women measure love in terms of dollars and cents. I do, also agree, that many good men are not rich.

Second, it's a natural progression that if you have low expectations, your expectations will be more easily met. In saying this, by requesting that "women were more lenient [to men]", would it not be tantamount to saying that the standard of Singaporean men are low so Singaporean women should lower their expectations so they can find a partner??? I don't think Singaporean men suck. But I do think that Singaporeans in general are rather narrow-minded, petty and penny-pinching. I simply abhor the kiasu mentality.

I think the overall problem is that many Singapore men are stuck in the outrageously outdated thinking that women should be the caregivers, the meek, the loving, the dumb and stupid. And also that they should accept men exactly the way they are...including their philandering ways, being men.

C'mon, move with the times. Why should women be stuck in the same rut as they were a few thousand years back when there is the opportunity to move forward?

The only reason why men don't want women to move forward is because they feel threatened. And you only will feel threatened if something instigates fear in you. So this brings us to the question of why men feel threatened. I guess the answer is obvious...they have finally (and only after thousands of years, and that's really slow if u ask me) come to the realisation that... women are not the dumb bitches they thought they were and are capable of much more apart from reproduction.
