Wah lau eh, I swear to god every two days we must see this kind of brain-dead, low-SES question popping up on our feeds. Some strawberry-generation boy-boy get rejected by his polytechnic crush, then come here and start a philosophical debate about materialism.
Let’s be real lah, “some” women? Who you trying to kid? You change the word “some” to “99.9%” then we talk. The remaining 0.1% are currently undergoing treatment at IMH.
But seriously, what kind of basic-bitch question is this? You ask yourself first lah: If you are a guy, do you prefer a girl who looks like a Korean influencer with an hourglass figure, or do you prefer someone who looks like your secondary school discipline mistress? It’s human nature, bro. The sky is blue, the grass is green, Everyone wants the best option available!
And please hor, don’t come and talk about “six figures and a car” like it’s 1996. In 2026, a six-figure annual income is just $8,300 a month. After your 20% CPF deduction, plus renting a pathetic shoe-box condo or paying off a million-dollar resale HDB in Woodlands, you are basically living hand-to-mouth. And a car? With the current COE prices? If you need a heavy 10-year loan just to buy a basic Japanese bread-and-butter car just to attract girls, you are not a “catch”—you are just a Grab driver in denial.
The truly funny thing is the guys who think they are single just because they don’t have a car. Oi, wake up lah! If you are short, toxic, have zero personality, and your conversational skills are as dry as overcooked chicken breast, even if you drive a Lamborghini, the girl will only date your car, not you. Once you drop her off, she’s still going to ghost your WhatsApp.
Our mothers and grandmothers might have settled for a guy riding a rusty bicycle, but this is the real world now. No money, no honey. Love cannot pay for your $15 Acai bowl or your weekend trips to Bangkok.
If you don’t have the assets, then stop kpkb on Reddit, flush your phone down the toilet bowl, and go grind. Do sales, do Grab, or go to Batam. Don’t sit here and ask stupid questions just to comfort your own broke ego. Lim peh is tired of reading this nonsense.
EDIT: To the guy in the comments saying he has “6 Pokemon figures in his car”—you are the only legend here. The rest of you, go back to work.
