How sad that there are these men who can
Love grows. You don’t pay for it. You don’t gain it from obligation. I don’t think what they want is impossible, just unrealistic. They are setting themselves up for failure. Do they not realise that statistics are against them?
As a woman over 30, who is looking for a potential partner on dating websites, I’ve come to realise that most men have a pathology of not facing life, facts, truth about themselves. It’s an epidemic.
Most men who contact me are way too old, they are wishful thinkers who are not in my league. Worse still they bring baggage to others who have none.
Whats wrong with you men. Why can’t u date women your own age? Why do you have to look for women who are half your age? And are submissive? Women in Vietnam are just taking advantage of this.
it all comes down to the fact that we each of us try to find the person best suited to match our own range of interests and foibles, and the option of mail order brides simply makes the whole world part of our search rather than keeping us constrained to the people we might bump into on a trip to NTUC.
However, I’m a little disgusted by the fact that the bride has to be certified a virgin!
Often left on the shelf by local women, these men are looking for wives willing to have babies and help their aging parents
It’s not up to us to comment anything on this trade. They were not smuggled here. They did this on their own accord. Instead of blaming and flaming the men who start the trade, why not start with the women who willingly took part in this?
Men, you are better off going to orchard towers or paramount hotel. Aiyah, these men are not looking for companions. They are looking for maids that they can legally have sex with.
Pathetic.
Comparing this to asiatic women who threw themselves at Western men of riches, the idea is similar. Brassiere-burning ladies often miss this point. As long as you like what you do, you can find hundreds of reasons to support it. The same goes vice versa
if there is a choice nobody would wanna pay for love, get a life u haters. everyone got their own life to live, sometimes its the circumstance thats forcing them. be happy that u can do what u want.
What you see in the Video is pure human trafficking. No wedding, never meet parents and is the checking of virginity at the private doctor really checking on virginity or repairing of non-virginity?? It’s sickening to watch that agent just sending the lady to the buyer’s house. Look like a DHL delivery to me.
After reading some of the replies, it is very easy to see, why older men look for younger women. Women are in there peak between the age of 30 and finished by 40. By that i mean, the fat is normally piled on, their breasts are drooping, and their thighs, are normally a third larger. While men are still producing kids, and want sex more often. Older women are over the hill, past it! Hope that enlightens the few, who cannot see it.
To : Deluded & others
You are a woman of 30+ years and by all statistics, you are probably not desirable. If you are that beautiful with a slim figure, you will find a mate. Also, you should be of good character. Remember that there is not only one male in Singapore, but about 200K of them so, there must be something in you that nobody look a you. From my experience, if a woman, is so desirable, surely one of the 200K male will approach her. Think about it.
Don’t blame a career for you in not finding a mate. Don’t blame stuff like having to look after parents and younger siblings as the cause or for that matter, any other reason. It is just a cover or in simple English, a ruse to veil the stupid.
I am happily married and I see screw up men and woman everyday. I served NS and reserve and I have seen the lot as I extended my reserve up to volunteer, so I straddle different generation of people that pass my way.
Basically, in any society, just like statistic, there will be the good and the bad and in all probability, you belong to the latter.
Today, the Singapore male and female is generally one big screw up pots. Both are at fault, meaning 90% of them. The men are real screwballs. Their priority after graduation or the start of working life is to live in the fast lane – meaning buying a car, drinking at Mohd Sultan, massage at Marina South and a screw at Geylang. The girls are no better. Most will also smoke, drink and screw. Then, take note that both the male and female have little saving as evidence in the poor Mah Bow Tan having to give grants or building more rental flats.
In all, I must say that society in Singapore, has changed and it is for the worse. There are good boys and girls around, but probably 10% of them, the rest are just not suitable candidates. Take a look the next time in a food court and you will see them or take a look at 3 room flat HDB blocks and you know how irresponsible our Singaporean are.
Be realistic, be good, be fair and you will have a happy and financially adequate life to enjoy. That is my message to all, not just the mentioned.
Have a nice day.
Cheers
Generally speaking, divorces rates are going higher n higher in sin between singapore couples…it may be due to either party faults but from recently check up, the female party are mostly responsible ! As education level go up for them, they took for granted for many many things…they wants someone to love them, care them , do also the things with them together, financially support them..gosh is not cheap most of time! small small thing they can blame the guys! in all, the wanted to be treated like the empress dowager…the comng of simple n not materialistic vietnamese are in fact a learning experience for them to change !!
Wow i wonder what Muslim marriages are like then?
Doesn’t sound good if they don’t date.
Im very sure highly educated, intelligent and capable ladies in Singapore are as capable in everyway as the local guys.
everybody is entitled to the goodness and luxuries in Singapore to achive their dreams, I would like a singaporean wife if shes willing to sign the pre-nupt(if its even applicable in Singapore?) I would definately pay for the kids/children but not for anything else should she decide im not for her, not the one or i do not suit her lifestyle. Meanwhile if i do get a foreign bride i would still treat her with respect and not an extremist (so called sex slave or house maid) Just my 2 cents of whats feasible.No offences.
Cheers
