So I have this classmate, let’s call her Linda. Her perspective on life and relationships is completely brokened, I swear. In her mind, the absolute baseline definition of a “boyfriend” is someone who drives a BMW or a Mercedes. Anything less and you are basically invisible to her.
Where did this ridiculous standard come from? Back in Year 1, she started dating this guy. For the longest time, it was all “hearsay” and whispers along the campus corridors. But recently, she literally admitted it herself to a few of us. The guy wasn’t some rich young crypto bro. It was one of our actual poly lecturers.
I’m not even kidding. The only reason they broke up is because the lecturer’s wife caught them red-handed or something, so the uncle immediately cut it off to save his own skin and career. You would think getting played by a married hypocrite would give her a reality check. But no, instead it just permanently warped her brain.
Now we are in Year 2. A few decent, normal guys in our cohort tried to court her because she’s quite pretty. But she rejected every single one of them instantly with this super arrogant attitude. Why? Because she keeps comparing everyone to the lecturer. She will literally look down on guys and say things like, “He only takes the MRT, my ex used to fetch me in a BMW. Next guy must at least drive a Mercs.”
Hello??? Wake up can or not? You are 19! We are full-time poly students! Where on earth do you expect a 19-year-old guy to find the money to buy a continental car? Unless his father is a tycoon, most guys our age are just trying to scrape together enough allowance for cai fan and an MRT concession pass.
She is still stuck in her delusion, thinking a luxury car is a standard requirement for a relationship, just because she got a few free rides from a predator who cheated on his wife. Honestly, the second-hand embarrassment is too real. Every time she starts her “must drive BMW or Mercedes” script, the whole group just goes dead silent. Please lah, grow up.
