An article in Sunday Times Life! was the hot topic recently over lunch sessions with my colleagues. An article which wrote about how women over the age of 35 find the door to dating scene, slam shuts on their face. Women who are beautiful, successful and smart are also not spared. If you are over 35, you are face "Sorry miss, You expired liao!"
And I thought we are moving towards the 21st century ? Why are men still stuck in the old asian mindset that women are childbearing machines? No wonder the vietnamese mail order bride businesses thrive in recent years. Men over their prime (or rejected stocks) could still "buy" a young and virginal bride at a small sum of less than 10k. Women after 35 ? Doom to die alone with your dog.
Anyway, I totally disagree with the direction the article was heading. Women after 35 have a life of their own. Finding a mate could be just a icing to the cake. Like men, we also have our needs. Why need to marry? Just find one, stay together be happy. Not happy, boot him out and change another one. So Simple, Easy and Convenient.
Women like men have their dreams to chase. As long as you are contented with yourself, and lead a fulfilling life, does it really matter to have that man?

I guess men by nature have the dominating instinct...local women are daunting targets due to increasing educational stds and earning powerness...put these two together, its no wonder local men turn to foreign brides...it's market forces that dictate, :) , for want of a better term...sad but true, local women, due to their high educational stds, will INCREASINGLY find it difficult to marry local men...i dare bet the "35" no. will drop even further in time to come...hmm, its not an easy problem to solve...
