Hi everyone,

Making this post to get some feedback from all the bros.

Recently there has been increasing pressure from parents and to some extent peer pressure to find a girl, settle down and all. One of my friends mentioned that marriage is a sign of success because it represents a man increasing his capacity to not only take care of himself, but also his family. He would go on to mention that those who remain single do so because they "lack the capability and ability"

I am no stranger to the dating game, but after a couple of failed relationships, I feel more comfortable mongering as it provides choice and variety as well as the fact that I don't have any added responsibilities. Furthermore, ever since I broke up, my savings per month has increased and I am able to put more time into my other hobbies such as gaming and travelling.

After my 30th birthday, my parents have been hounding me, going as far as to suggest getting a mail order bride just to get a "married" status. My friends would organize "family outings" and decline to invite me because I am single. Encouraging me to get hitched so that I can hang out with them again.

Just want to ask the married and non-married bros for some opinions and feedback. I personally enjoy my current life, working in the day, piaking in the night and am very reluctant to get back into the tangle of relationships. However, I feel the need to address the constant hounding and peer pressure to "fit in" and to supposedly climb the ladder of life.

What do you guys think?

i used to believe this word "love with all your heart and relationship will succeed" in reality that is not the case.

i have previous post about compatibility and external factor. even you really love a girl and the girl also share same. external pressure such as Parents requirement etc

my parent demand me find a girl that is a Buddhist/ (not christian), ask me find a malaysian girl, dont find local girl, and etc.

fuck my life hard!!! i feel the pressure of this. end up i told the girl we cannot be together because of my parents demand.

i guess the bad reason to keep on in a relationship is when your parents dictates who you will marry.

Getting married in Singapore will be your worst nightmare come true because of the fucking WOMEN'S CHARTER!

One of my fellow taxi driver whose daughter is a research assistant at MCYS told me that there was surveys done but was not released and kept hush hush by the government.

In the surveys polls showed that on hindsight :
- 80% of divorced guys regretted getting married, and
- 95% of divorced guys are not happy with the resultant outcome of their divorces.

Of those guys still married :
- 70% of the guys regretted getting married, and
- 90% of these guys want out from their marriages but are afraid of the consequences of the Women's Charter.

These figures are scary and not surprisingly the government shelved the surveys and kept the data under wraps.

So dun destroy your life by getting married in Singapore.
I gave the same advice to my eldest son too when he brought his girlfriend home for dinner during his NS.
He is now studying in UK and dun intend to return here after graduation. :)
