I was born into poverty in a small family. I had no parents or family to take care of me, so I had to fend for myself.

I was determined to make something of myself and, when I was old enough, I decided to go to the local temple in search of a job.

I was welcomed warmly by the local priest and he gave me a job as a “medium”, somebody who would communicate with the gods and spirits. I was so excited and thought that this was my destiny. I was finally able to make something of myself and I was sure that I was going to be successful in this new role.

Little did I know what was in store for me. As soon as I started working, I was treated worse than a dog. I was given the worst jobs, the most menial tasks, and never received any recognition or appreciation. I was expected to work long hours and was never given any food or rest.

I was constantly scolded and chastised for the slightest mistakes or for not working fast enough.

I was so desperate to make something of myself that I continued to work, despite the abuse. I thought that if I just worked harder, I would eventually be rewarded for my efforts. But nothing changed.

My situation got even worse when I started hearing rumours about the temple. People were saying that the priests were using me as a medium to make money. They were using me to contact the gods and spirits and make prophecies that people would pay for. They were exploiting me and using me for their own gain.

I was determined to get out of this situation, but I had no one to turn to. I was afraid and alone and had nowhere to go. I was too scared to speak out and I felt like I had no choice but to continue to suffer in silence.

Eventually, I decided to leave the temple. I knew that it was not the life I was meant to live and I was determined to make something of myself. I decided to start a small business selling goods at the local market.

I was recently talking to a friend of mine about what he finds attractive in a woman.

He had a lot of great things to say about the qualities he looks for in someone he wants to date.

But the one thing that really stuck with me was when he said that the most unattractive women are those who are always insecure.

I couldn’t agree more. Insecurity is a huge turn-off, regardless of gender. It’s a sign that the person doesn’t have the confidence they need to take on life’s challenges. And in a relationship, that lack of confidence can lead to a lot of unnecessary drama and arguments.

Insecurity can manifest in many different ways. It could be something as simple as constantly seeking validation from others or needing constant reassurance that you’re attractive, smart, successful, etc. It could also be more extreme, such as being overly jealous and possessive or constantly comparing yourself to others. All of these behaviors are unattractive because they demonstrate a lack of self-worth and the inability to accept yourself for who you are.

The opposite of insecurity is confidence. Confidence is attractive because it shows that you know and accept yourself for who you are. It’s also a sign that you’re comfortable in your own skin and that you’re not afraid to take risks or put yourself out there. When someone is confident, it’s much easier to trust and rely on them.

Insecurity can also lead to codependency. If someone is always seeking validation and reassurance from others, it can lead to a situation where they are too dependent on their partner for their happiness and well-being. This can lead to a lot of resentment and anger and it can be hard to have a healthy, balanced relationship.

Finally, insecurity can make it hard to trust. If someone is constantly doubting themselves and second-guessing their decisions, it can be hard to trust in their ability to make the right choices. This can create a lot of friction and tension in a relationship, and it can also lead to feelings of insecurity in the other person as well.

In conclusion, insecurity is one of the most unattractive traits in a person. It’s a sign that someone is lacking in self-confidence and self-worth, and it can lead to a lot of unnecessary drama and tension in a relationship. The best way to combat insecurity is to focus on building your self-confidence and self-esteem. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be much more attractive and confident in yourself, and you won’t be so prone to insecurity.

 I remember it like it was yesterday. I had finally gotten the girl of my dreams. She was beautiful, smart, and had the most incredible eyes. I was so excited to finally have found someone that I could share my life with.

We started dating and I was so happy. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have found someone that I felt so deeply for. I wanted to show her how much I cared for her and we would often go out for dinner or on romantic walks.

It was on one of these walks that I first noticed the smell. At first, I thought it was just something in the air, but as we continued walking, the smell became more and more pungent. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn’t help but notice it.

Finally, I asked her about it and she admitted that she had a problem with body odor. She told me that she had always had this issue and that she was embarrassed about it. I could tell that she was really embarrassed and I wanted to make her feel better, so I reassured her that it wasn’t a big deal and that I still cared for her.

In the weeks that followed, we kept dating, but I started to notice that the smell was getting worse. I could smell it even when I wasn’t close to her. I started to wonder if she was doing something to make it worse, but I was too afraid to bring it up.

Finally, I decided to confront her about it. I told her that I had noticed the smell and that it was getting worse. She told me that she had tried everything she could to try to get rid of it, but nothing had worked. She said that she was embarrassed and ashamed of the way she smelled and that she was scared that it was going to ruin our relationship.

I reassured her that it wouldn’t and that I still cared for her. I told her that I wanted to help her find a solution. We looked into different products and treatments and eventually found something that worked.

It has been a few months since I first noticed the smell and things have been great since then. We are still together and I don’t notice the smell anymore. I am so glad that I was able to help her find a solution and that she was able to overcome this issue.

I am so thankful that I was able to look past her body odor and still see the amazing person that she is. I know that it is not something that a lot of people would be willing to do, but I am so glad that I did. I love her and I am so thankful that I was able to help her overcome this issue and still be together.

Do local guys face a lot of competition when it comes to finding a partner?

So I just had this discussion with one of my friends who said that local guys have to compete with each other and foreign guys for a partner.

Being a single male I’ve been in the dating scene for quite a while but I don’t think the competition is that cutthroat as my friend made it out to be.

So it got me thinking about how other guys/girls feel about this question.

Thoughts?

Netizens’ comments

1. Think the primary issue is less about finding “a” partner but rather finding “the” partner. Think you need to know what you want first because “a” partner is very vague. Some wants a life partner, some wants a fling, some wants quiet lifestyle, some wants power lifestyle, some wants a religious lifestyle, some wants to stay far away from religious lifestyle, some wants to build a home, some wants to build a life.
2. There is a larger pool of men on dating apps. If you are a male , you will be competing among 18 year olds to 50 year olds.
3. I feel it’s only tough if you don’t have a “self” that has been crafted for your own. Yes looks matter, but you can have the chiselled jaws of a Greek god but if your dressing is poor you aren’t going to have much luck also. It’s not about whether you wear Uniqlo too, but rather whether you know what works for you. As for interests and hobbies, I think it’s important to have something that really shows your appreciation for life. Like yeah travelling is fun but what about it? This goes for guys and girls. Like don’t just tell me you like to eat and sleep. It says nothing about yourself.
4. If you’re good-looking and have a solid personality and career, you won’t have anything to worry about.
5. That being said, lots of my female friends have told me they prefer dating non-locals now because of the stereotype that SG men are boring and not adventurous.
   I don’t necessarily agree, but if you everyday stay at home play Mobile Legends and then holiday only want to go JB or BKK for massage then not very fun for most women in an increasingly globalised society ah.

I was lying in bed with my girlfriend, exploring her body and admiring her beauty. I was in awe of her perfect curves, her soft, smooth skin, and her beautiful, round breasts.

Everything was perfect, until I noticed something strange. I noticed that her left raisin was black.

I’ve been with my girlfriend for a few months now, and recently I noticed something that’s been bothering me. Her left’ ‘raisin’ is black in color, while her right is pink.

I was curious why this was the case, and so I decided to do some research.

At first, I thought it might be a birthmark, but upon further inspection, I realized that her left ‘raisin’ was actually darker in colour than her right. This made me even more curious, so I decided to ask her about it.

She refuses to answer me.

At first, I was confused. Why was her left nips black? I asked her about it, but she just shrugged and said she didn’t know. I didn’t believe her, so I kept pressing until she finally revealed the truth.

Turns out, her ex-boyfriend had been sucking on her left nipple so much that it had become black. I was shocked and disgusted. I couldn’t believe that someone would do something so disrespectful and damaging to someone they supposedly cared about.

My girlfriend was embarrassed and ashamed, but she was also relieved. She had been trying to get her ex to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. Now that her nips was black.

My friends told me that it could because her ex always suck on it until it changed in color.

Just venting to the void about money problems, like everyone else.

My kid hates me, or so it feels anyways. She had a birthday party to go to today and I had fully planned on her going but woke up today and surprise… refrigerator doesn’t work.

We are a paycheck to paycheck family like many people here and also like many people here we have 0 in savings.

So, now I’ve got a crying kid because she was looking forward to arcade party but we can’t afford it or a gift for her friend.

I’m just sad and frustrated and stressed. She knows it’s not my fault and she doesn’t blame me but she is still so sad and it makes me feel like shit not being able to afford something as simple as a kids birthday party.

And I don’t even have time to really try to console her because now I’ve got food going bad in a broken fridge that I need to replace ASAP and HAVE YOU SEEN FRIDGE PRICES? Holy schmoly the stress is real today.

Sorry for the ramble, just need to vent. On a side note how long will meat stay good for in a cooler full of ice?

I am a 24-year-old Vietnam girl living in Geylang. I came here a few months ago, hoping to start a new life and make some money.

I was working in a massage parlour when a fat oily man came in. He looked like he was in his 40s and he was so creepy. He asked me to give him a massage and I reluctantly agreed. But, when I started giving him the massage, he suddenly jumped out of the bed and started biting me.

I was so shocked and scared that I just ran out of the room crying.

The man followed me and kept trying to grab me, but I managed to escape. I was so scared that I ran home and locked myself in my room. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone what had happened and I was too scared to go back to work.

I eventually decided to go to the police and report what happened. They took me to a hospital to get checked and the doctors told me that I had been bitten by a human and that it had left some marks on my body.

I now understand why it is so important to speak up if something like this happens to you. I was too scared to do anything at the time, but I’m glad that I eventually found the courage to report what happened.

I still feel scared and anxious when I think about what happened. I try to stay away from Geylang and I avoid going out at night. I’m also more aware of my surroundings and I always keep my phone with me in case I need to call for help.
