I'm open to the possibility of meeting a partner on WP, but it seems pretty unlikely. I've encountered very few women from Australia here, and I'm not sure that I've seen any who are in their 20s. Certainly none that are currently active on the forums. Even if there were some, distance could still be a barrier if they're not close enough to me that meeting up often is viable.

Even if there were women in their 20s from my local area on here, I'd have to be interested in them, and even less likely, they'd have to also be interested in me. I don't see it happening.


Yup.
Bloody complicated.

I’m a finically independent woman with a career and I expect the same from the men I date.

I'm curious. Would you rather date a lower class/working class man who has drive and works hard but doesn't earn very much, or a man who doesn't work because he's inherited so much money that he'll never need to work another day in his life?



I married such a man ( divorced now) he was as poor as it gets, working class, from a simple uneducated immigrant family with unbelievable drive.and ambition. He's a millionaire today, not all attained legally or with integrity but nevertheless. It is a persons' character that determines his fate to a great extent. Look for the qualities in a man that will make him a good partner, it is not necessarily correlated to money. In my case I didn't share his lust for money but I enjoyed a life of luxury for many years, though I liked the man he had become less and the qualities I really respect faded the more wealthy we became. Now he has all the money, I have none and I am much happier. It is important to be able to pay bills have medical imsurance and eat well, that's enough for me to be content.


That's not an inspiring success story, it's a typical story how people become millionnaires.

Exactly. Material success is meaningless. Advancing harmony and peace is meaningful.
The capitalist world is crumbling around all of us and corruption prevails. Integrity and mutual care and assistance will be important now to save the world. :D

I think I like Malaysian and Singaporean women; very well cultured and multilingual.

Oh this was so random.

After reading the comments here, posting anything further is unnecessary. Intentionally or not, it has been demonstrated why it won't work.


And you are an expert, with your 258 posts, because...? 8O :wink:

Yep, I lived in Malaysia for a few years and can vouch they like western men :D

Singapore they are snobs so you need to be earning big bucks to make them interested in you.
