Haha... I lost count on the number of times I held doors for
females (strangers) who walked pass without even saying "thank you"
or a nod to acknowledge the kind act. Soon, I will throw away my
suit of shining armour and have it rust somewhere...
My friend and I was going up an MRT escalator during rush hour. You
see, when you go up the escalator, most people will file up and you
step on when it is your turn. We were sure it was clearly our turn
to step on when an office lady (wearing a jacket and those tight
office skirts) just cut into our path. Know what she said?
[b]LADIES FIRST. We were left stunned. This is an incident
that I will keep repeating to my friends till they are sick of it.

Well, an Australian post-doc (how ungentlemanly can he be?) in my
lab complained he received the LADIES FIRST
treatment while he was boarding a bus. He too, was left speechless.

I am sure most of us here has come across materialistic women in
one way or another, directly ot indirectly. There is nothing much
to elaborate. There are, however, some comments I wish to
make.
Guys, if you are attracted to (I will not say "fall in love" ) a
woman who is materialistic, please be realistic lah. If you can
afford to let her squander off your money, go ahead and whack. You
will help take these woman out of circulation and protect most of
the guys
But if you cannot afford,
eat a humbe pie and back off. There is no need to struggle to meet
her demands. The end will not be pretty.
People are marrying later compared to one generation ago. To those
who are married, I think you can say "whew, I am passed this
stage." To those who are not, well, good luck 
There are more and more guys joining the bachelor club as a
permanent member. 3 of my close friends are signing on as a member.
They are well educated and earning quite a bit.
Women will always say men here "Cannot Make It" when asked why are
they unattached, or unmarried. I always simile when they give that
answer.

Ladies first?( translated as "unreasonable ladies first" ) so
the men how? last always?
Let's say you are waiting for a taxi and a lady cuts your queue and
say the above, will you be happy or angry ? 
I wonder how many guys will agree with this statement and allow a
lady to take the taxi first, assuming both are in a hurry.
