Confessions of a City Slicker

"Why don’t you hook up with a financially stable guy?  Someone who is more mature than the guys you hang out with?  They are more down-to-earth and can help you out a little with your financial burden so you can indulge in your shopping sprees and partying ways.  Whichever way the relationship progresses, you’d have scored some benefits in the process.

Of course, if you are interested, Datin will endeavor to help you out through her vast connections."

This suggestion was made by a couple of old friends.  Don’t get me wrong, they meant well.  I guess they just want to see me settle down with a nice guy who can provide comfortably for me.

And no, said Datin is not a real Datin.  We just call her that because she dresses like a Datin when she attends dinner functions :p

Hook up with someone capable of taking care of me, you say?  OK, that’s reasonable enough, I guess.  There are just a couple of flaws in their plan.

Do I look like the type that will be contented with domestic bliss?  Read my previous post and you’ll learn why.

Their definition of someone "more matured" is UNCLE.  Bleck!!!!  I do know of a few friends who hook up with uncles purely for the financial benefits that they can get.  Of course this also means embracing Auntie-dom, something these women seem to have taken to their stride.  Uh uh, NOT for me!

Heck, I don’t let the neighbors’ kids call me Auntie.  If they do, I turn a deaf ear :p

I have to admit, when I was younger, I was like that.  I mean, I don’t look for rich uncles to snare.  I just look for "Sui Yees" or "Water Fish".  You know, a fool to be the chauffeur, ATM, slave, whatever in exchange for my company for Saturday nights.

Me and a few other friends, we’ll hunt in a pack around Internet chat rooms.  Well, I’ve grown up a lot since then.

Now, I’m proud to say that everything I own, every cent I spend, is all MINE.  I’m proud of the fact that I can stand tall as a woman and declare that I don’t need a man to care for and provide for me.  I don’t need a sui yee to chauffeur me around or pay for my dinner or movie tickets or anything else.

I do that for myself very well, thank you very much!
