  Melbournite,

  Your kind of girl.. I've seen many.

  They don't go for money because they have plenty.

  The problem with these kind of girl is that.. after you married her.. and her parents cuts off financial supports to her.

  Will she be able to live a simple joedettes life with you ?

  A couple of my rich friends has divorced their husbands because they couldn't stand a lower standard of living.

  Because they are so used to being rich.. it's hard to live a life of poor.

  Easy to go from rags to riches..but tough to go from riches to rags.

  Just to point out to you .. that such kind of girl Singapore also have.

  Yeah. For this type of girl, you do need to consider to retain her high standard of living or problems will occur. Well, at least not at all bad if you do really love her as much as she loves you

  or

  1) She is able to support her high standard of living herself independently.

  or

  2) With help from her and determination, you gamble and build up your career.

  By the way, sad to say, love will fade. So, you do need to consider on " what if " cases.

  our love will not fade...also in Aus, its not like in singapore

   

  People who are rich are cash rich....and they also do not splurge on unnecessary things..In Australia there is not much we can do with our free time....

  do you want to stay an "average joe" forever?!

  why waste time on being concerned about whether yr wife from a rich family will stay true to an "average joe"?

  I would rather work my effort on breaking away from that "average joe" life.

  focus on yr own success so that you can giv yr woman a better life, don't ever be stuck with a self-deflating notion of being an "average joe" forever.

  Not true, me rich still work hard and not tempted to go for luxury. And certainly not go for average joe. Young is ok, old already, problem will arise.

   

  Aussie life are slow and boring, they are more lazy because they got lots of natural resources given the size of their land, sheeps and cows.

   

  In Singapore, if temptation is not created, the economy will not churn and our GDP will go down. We got no natural resources here, if we dun spent, everythin will come to a halt and most will be eating and biting bricks from govt flat and congested houses. Understand

  issit?

   

  if it is just to share joy, why must make value judgements of gross generalisations like

   

  " But just to point out that women in Singapore and other countries are different"?

   

  So he is happy loh... but since he is so happy liao why need to disparage all women in Singapore at the same time?

   

  I know a lot of happily married Singaporean women who don't go around telling other people: "I came from an upper middle class family but my husband is from lower- middle class family. However, I am happy to make the change from living from landed property to HDB flat with him because I am starting a new life with him. I am happy to share the chores with him now that we don't have a maid, and also share the expenses with him."

   

  You know why? Cos to them it is a fact of life - nothing to crow about.

  I guess this is what i was trying to say..Rich people may be looking for something more substantial in life than material comforts.

   

  Well my point is to prove that the joy of material comforts fade off after a while

   

  And i guess singapore women need to wake up as rich doesnt mean a thing.

  My Gf told me that rich but no companionship is worst than being poor and contended with human relations

   

  U can be poor but if u are rich in relationships, love , friends, U are not poor

  I love her too, not her money.

  she knows that, and that makes her love me more.

  FTI, in Australia, there are such things as "made up marriages" especially those of foreigners (Indians, sri lankans , Chinaman) who are trying to get PR

  What happens next is problems start cos one  of the party start to suspect

  their own life and they being duped. Such marriage will never work cos the man and woman

  are not into love but love of money or toher gains. They are not being happy their whole life.

  What I don't understand is why is it necessary to always keep on harping the comparison with Singaporean women?

   

  Don't tell me there are no 'money minded' women in other countries? Or

  do you assume that singaporean women are ALL materialistic?
  OR do you think that only women can be materialistic and men not so?

   

  I agree with you that money cannot replace relationships, friends, and love. And this belief should be put across to everyone - not necessarily only to singaporean or women or Singaporean women.

   

  Also it is unnecessary to put down people in order to put across this point.

   

  Besides love, relationship, friendship - there is also respect, unbiasedness, courtesy and consideration. What about these good values as well :)

  yes there are money minded women around the world...And its also the reason why men work hard to earn money too....

   

  My point is in Age old days, this works and now that women have been granted gender equality, its time to move forward ..But in Singapore, its still backwards..thats my point
