unpopular opinion here. as a girl, i think it is not necessary to a guy to pay for first date.

a first date can be at hawker centre. tbh, hawker centre and coffeeshop food represent good value for money.
i dont think it is necessary to have a car too. in fact no car equal no liabilities. public transport works great. wedding can be small scale.
tbh nobody cares after the wedding. that being said, a 12k monthly salary for a guy is a deal breaker, as this is min salary to enable the guy to get a 75% bank loan for a typical 900sqft condo at $2000 psf.
Here are what netizens think:
- The question is not about what you want, the question is about what you can get. If all else is equal, and a man with options has to weigh between you and another woman. And you have the upfront difficult KPI to meet, you can be assured you will be placed lower on his priority list of commitment.
- 12k means each of you earn 6k can liao. Most importantly partnership & common goals, babe. If partnership fails, he earn 12k also won’t fork out a single cent
- While you are choosing people, people are also choosing you at the same time…
- HDB income ceiling is 14k. If he earns 12, then unless you not working, you guys can only buy condo. But to buy condo and raise a family with less than 20k, will be tough.
- In short, you just want a relatively rich guy, knowing that the super rich is probably out of reach.
- It is not wrong to fantasize about a rich guy. But what do you offer? The relationship has to be equal give and take.
