I guess your answer is NO.
Stigma to go for Cupid Service? -
No, I won't pay to find the other half
-
I would only go IF it was free and there were lots of other membership privileges, eg. generous discounts at restaurants, boutiques, etc.
And oh, they must also convince me that their database is not comprised mostly of ah beng ah sengs, ah lian ah huays!
Nope, haven't joined one before. I believe 'You3 Yuan2 Qian1 Li3 Lai2 Xiang1 Feng2'. -

i will love to go and try out cupid services. It seems fun and lots of goodies, like cheap oversea trip etc.
unfortunately, i read the T&C, i am not eligible. furthermore, i just wanna go there to have fun, not to get hooked. ......scare later all the ladies flock to me how.... -
guess that is what happen here....Originally posted by binZ:this is common in countries lik us and japan.. but in singapore... u just kana laughed at. ....now still have meh?
my Indian Colleagues....quite a few of them still practise arranged marriage.... one just got married last year...another is going back to India to look for a wife....
it is a culture thing... -
No, i wouldn't
-
indians are still pretty conversative lah... do u know for an indian lady to get married, the woman's family is supposed to pay a dowry to the guy's family?Originally posted by kops21:guess that is what happen here.... ....now still have meh?

Last time chinese also like tat mah... time change everything.. incluing cultures and customs. 
even now.. the stigma of finding dating services is something a lot of us wont tahan de wor. = ) (tat includes myself ) -
That will depend on the Indian family. There are the traditional indians and the modern indians and the way they carry themselves is so different!Originally posted by kops21:guess that is what happen here.... ....now still have meh?

The modern ones won't stand for arranged marriages -
Firstly, you asked if we would join, so I said only if it's free. Just answering your question also get criticised!Originally posted by kops21:Y everyone want to be FREE then join Nothing is free in this world, u know.......

And btw, some things ARE free in this world!
And, excuse me, I don't think I'm 'left on the shelf' nor do I subscribe to the 'expiry date' theory. It IS better to be 'left UNTOUCHED and IN PEACE on the shelf' then just go and get married for the sake of marriage. If I wanted to just get married, I would have done so already. The truth of the matter is, there were opportunities for me to get hitched but I chose to pass and walk on, so kops, welcome to the 21st Century where there ARE the few of us who consciously choose to be 'left on the shelf', and high high up on the shelf too, far from reach! 
And... 'expiry date'? You're talking about the biological clock, izzit? Well, that has never bothered me. So what if I get married and have kids? So what if I get married and don't have kids? Married or not, with or without kids, I'm going to be happy and have fun. And btw, husband and wife makes a family unit too, with or without kids. There are also so many unfortunate kids who are in need of a loving home and I'm really open to the possibility of adoption IF and WHEN I get married and we both want kids.
For far too long, this society has imposed its expectations on us. Study, get married, have kids, etc etc. Y'know, the 'perfect' life. Just too bad, cuz I'm going to do what I like.
And, why is there this stigma that you attach to females remaining single? It's NOT as if I have committed a crime, y'know, kops! Marriage, or the absence of it, in no way determines a person's value nor contribution to society!
So, yes, leave me alone on the shelf where I shall dangle my legs on the edge and cross them and swing them along to the tempo of the music of life. Que Sera Sera! -
Yeaa, the person can come from a totally different continent, a country home to less than 2 million people, all the way to Singapore, and you meet.Originally posted by Rhonda:Nope, haven't joined one before. I believe 'You3 Yuan2 Qian1 Li3 Lai2 Xiang1 Feng2'.
Or in my friend's case, she went to NZ to work, met a guy who's from Croatia.
How come you don't meet and fall for the neighbour next door? -

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Now I have Children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera, Sera -

Or, imagine this, maybe when I migrate to Melbourne, I'll meet a nice Singaporean guy there! That'll be funny, wouldn't it? -
OK! OK! I will step down from the soap box... if you'll stop singing!Originally posted by kops21:i just love to read ur long response.
