However, recently, I begin to feel that maybe that world doesn't really exist. Especially in the dating world.
Take me and my fellow gal pals at work for example.. we are not exactly the rich men's daughter type but we are not poor neither. On the average, we earn enough to live a very comfortable lifestyle. Nice restaurants, shopping trips (weekly, or maybe even daily!), long vacations, nails/hair treatment.. I hate to admit this but we are quite "high-maintenance".
It is not that we discriminate against guys who earn lesser than us. You think its romantic to live on nothing but bread and wine alone when you are in love. But reality bites when you realise that you are making the guy feel inferior about himself. He may not feel good when you want to go to a nice place and even offers to pay his share of the meal. He feels bad that the present you get for him for Christmas costs more than what he bought for you. The only places you guys go to for trips are to Penang/KL/Bangkok cause its much cheaper.
The only way for this relationship to work - Fairytales or Chick Flick.
Its not his fault that he earns lesser. But I want to enjoy my success and not feel guilty for it. Moreover, relationships are already very complicated without issues like money/marriage/religion/babies. So I guess, the only choice is to date people who financially similar.
Its hard to ignore this when we live in a world that is so unromantic. Most Singapore gals would want to see the guy's bank book before even saying "Yes". This actually reminds me of 2 equations that I thought of lately.
Cute guy + Ugly Gal = True Love
Ugly man + Pretty Gal = Gold digger
I'm not sure if the above is true. I could be wrong. But if thats really the truth... like what I always say, What kind of sick world am I living in?
Love conquers all, you say?
I don't think so.
Am i all alone in this universe?
There's no love on these streets.
I've given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway.
