Was on the way home after spending some whopping amount on skincare, when I saw this newspaper headline jumping off at me. 22 yr old NTU 'rich' girl advertises for marriage partner on the net. What?! Am I seeing things right? Asked a couple of my friends what they think. Interestingly, 2 of my male friends just attribute it to publicity stunt, while 2 of my female friends said, if 22 yr olds do this, then what about us ?!
There you go, the difference between men and women. The men very rationally draw up a conclusion that its all for publicity (whether it really is so, thats another issue). Whereas women (including myself) thought emotionally about the age factor.
Skimmed through the lines from another fellow passenger's copy (my bad habit to read off others' papers on the mrt). The report also wrote ' If she is so attractive and young, need she advertise? she should have plenty of suitors, unless there's something wrong with her. '
But thats as good as saying, if one is so attractive, why would one join 'SDU' or dating agency , etc. Does advertising oneself invariably mean there is some lack in the person in the first place, hence the advertisement? And if one is old, then there is a reason why one should advertise.
Why do we think this way then ?
I dont have any answers. Can only point it to an inherent need for humans to procreate and the reality of the biological clock ticking away.
I am just amused at the difference in opinions.
