Here is an interesting topic that I wish the host can expand a little bit about dating a partner with a different working time. Ze Liang mentioned that his work started at night and I would like to know what are his thoughts about having a partner that can accommodate to his working shift hours?

Interesting!! Kinda hoping that you guys share on how to approach a person that you actually like because after this pandemic period yk, it has been so difficult and awkward to approach someone and start a conversation especially a stranger. Yeah it is kinda hard at least for me with the confidence and stuff.

Ladies.. you guys think too much. Guys ask for lunch because the whole day lasts longer with you. If it's a dinner date, you only have a few hours and it's bye bye. But if it's lunch, you can really plan to do a lot more things together. And if the lady wanna spilt the bill, then you can tell her she can do so the next date or be responsible to plan the activities for the second date. Oyah, my wife planned to propose to me and fortunately I did it earlier than her. Lastly, regarding salary, does it matter that much when both have aligned values and belief system? A lady or man who earns more don't have the right to request for a bigger say. If both parties bring food to the table. And if they keep it to certain percentage of their salary, then both are equal. And the truth is how much you earn depends on which industry you are in. There's a certain cap for certain job and certain industry. Success isn't defined merely by salary. Period.

traditionally, men provides and women take care of childrens. now, women want to be equal and got it what they wanted, jobs, career, rights to vote. Now they should share the responsibility to provide too. Extra gender in the work force, extra supply of workforce, lesser demand, lesser pay

2 weeks = 2 years for girls. My bros we gotta take note of this. I usually take 2 months of texting before asking a girl out, safe to say half of them ghosted me way before that.

I agree with another user in which I don't see this ever becoming more common, as in, women asking a guy out or women being the initiators in starting a relationship

Q back at you Sonia: What if your bf was super rich and he’s like, all about his money? Splurge on you, buy you all the nice things. But the con: He only knows how to express his love for you via his $$. All other departments to express love = 0, looks = 0. So yeah, you’re settling with a walking ATM. But there’s no love there? Perk for independent women, you might get a lot more time than most to explore your own identity. 😁

If the guy agree or ask me to split bill, I know he doesn’t like me. If I insist fervently to split bill even if he rejects, means I don’t like the guy. But first of all I prefer guys who wants to foot the bill even after I fake ask to split - very gentlemen of them. Bottom line, guys who foot the bill is gentlemen regardless whether the girl likes u or not

When the day comes that men can give birth, i think gender roles should be nulled. A lot of sacrifice (permanent) comes in being pregnant and giving birth. For women, getting married has a lot of sunk costs (I personally know many men who look for sex outside the marriage because they're not attracted to their wives anymore. They claim they love their wives but they need more. So there you go.). A divorced man doesn't face as much judgment and their attractive score is still the same as if they have never been married. They can start over easily in a new committed rship is what I'm saying. Have you ever seen stretch marks and excess skin on a mother's body? A lot of women have hormonal problems and other health issues after childbirth and they're permanent. Imagine a baby going through your penis hole. Yep you'd probably cry. Post partum depression, low self esteem, stress juggling kids and job. Don't be so calculative, that woman chose you and not someone else to wreck her body with. Surely that accounts for something. Women have always been nurturers and caretakers and men as protectors and providers since the beginning of time.

1 year of effort does not equal to 10 years of providing. Also raising a child is a two person work. Women just want to receive as much benefits as possible while contributing the least.

Not true. If a woman want a man to pay, I always believe that the woman should then do traditionally household duties. You can't have your cake and eat it.
