Ladies of SG: Is finances your priority in looking for a partner?
My friend only dates rich men and it got me thinking after dinner that day. She is very pretty imo and is definitely banking on her good looks to date only rich men. She also trades off the physical appearance of her partner (looks and height don’t matter to her), so long as they are rich (but of course cannot too ugly lah).
She expects her partner to be the provider and pays for everything. From dinners to travels (flights and hotels included) and at times, gift her branded items she wants.
She tells me at the end of the day, whatever fireworks will wear out and reduce to companionship. Finding a partner you can put up with and with deep pockets to finance the lifestyle you want IS the way to go.
She urged me to put finances as the first priority when looking for a man now that I am single again, provided that he also has decent morals and kindness to treat you well.
I have never thought of love and relationships to be this transactional but now that I am older and had a fair share of bad dating experiences, I am kind of convinced by her that it is a good life. She looks like she is having the time of her life with the expensive travels and gifts honestly.
Do most girls really actively look out for rich men to date/ marry and I have been doing it the wrong way?
