They say gays and lesbians should not be allowed to get married, because marriage is sacred between a man an a woman. And of course, money is holy.
Looking at those men, you can obviously tell that they would never find a similar girl of Ah Chou in Singapore. Many of our men cannot meet the high expectations of Singapore girls, this is the reason that they are marrying foreigners.
If you view the video, the guy instantly took a liking to the pretty and young lady and immediately placed a deposit. This only shows that love in the eyes of men is skin deep.
Ah Chou seems very decent and nice girl but she is very young and impressionable. I have heard of cases that these women who were hardworking and nice, came to Singapore, were badly influenced by our culture that in the end, they gave their husbands a hard time. I guess it is a risk that a buyer has to undertake.
Can money really buy love? Perhaps, in the beginning. A young impressionable girl, especially one from a very poor background, will initially be happy when her suitor plies her with gifts and money, which will go a long way to help her impoverished family back in the home country.
But what happens when she discovers after a while into the marriage, that her benefactor is only interested in her as a commodity that he has purchased, as a body to be used at will, and a mind that has to be subjected to his whims and caprices?
If she is submissive, she will put up with with it. But for how long?
A girl, subjected to such abuse of body and mind, will find a way to run away — back to her own country, if she has saved up enough money. Or perhaps, she will flee into the arms of another lover, who promises to rescue her from the hell she has found herself in.
Money can buy a man a bride from the Third World, but it does not guarantee that she will stay and be faithful to him. Care, understanding and commitment is also required to foster a lasting relationship. But do our men — who have long been single — understand such needs?
Life is cheap in China, Vietnam and in general Asia.
It is a commodity business.
Hoo ….hooo …..The only regret in my life is that I did not get myself a foreign bride .Those days when I want to marry a taiwanese or a korean,they told me that die die I must have a minimum salary of certain amount to marry one.Never know I can marry one without such demand nowadays or else I mati mati will wait .I have confident in foreign brides.For those bachelors consider yourself lucky ,get yourself one…….pretty ,sweet and hardworking.
s’pore has boys as young as 18 to offer too!
My neighbour from China was asking my mother the other day that she has a niece at 25 yrs of age & willing to marry a man not older than 40 yrs old in Singapore & ask my mum to recommend if she knows any suitors. Only need to pay few hundred dollars of air-ticket for her to fly to Singapore. I’m not sure if it is really so easy. Maybe after a while, she will start to demand more things.

Can money really buy love?
Well, yes. Unless you tell me you go on dates no need to spend money? You no need to buy gifts on her birthday or VD?
No guarantees though. (looks at divorce statistics)

The prudent thing may be to go to a country which recognizes pre-nups to register. After all, no love is involved at this stage, so nothing wrong with pre-nups, right?
Welcome to Singapore, foreigners. This town’s slogan is “No Money no talk. No Dough no show” So take what you can get and move on dude. Everything is on sale here, homes, souls, love, etc. You name it we got it. Uniquely Singaporean.
I am sure these young Vietnamese brides have been briefed about their rights under the women’s charter since the marriage is registered in Spore. The benefits to both party can be good provided the man can keep up with the young wife and constantly make her happy. lol
want ot own a vietcong beauty?

money to buy love because it is not quite possible for such men to find love from SG girls. so how? remain single or turn gay or go to geylang or worst, or turn sick?
Both of them are willing, both of them found what they are looking for (the man a virgin bride who can be a good housewife and the girl a husband who can care for her and her family).
So what gives us the right to judge?
Vietnamese brides are definitely 100 times better than scheming China girls and 50 times better than their demanding, arrogant Singaporean counterpart. They are honest, demeanor and have smooth skin (those from Hanoi). They do not demand much and are not materialistic. Most importantly, majority of them has good upbringing and are faithful.
No, I’m not referring to those tainted Joo Chiat walkers but even those are better than your Gelyang walkers.
Some says that they will change but do you really think that Vietnam is like a fishing village? Vietnam has a higher literacy rate than Singapore.
The only challenge you have.. language. And if you can surprise that, I guarantee you your Vietnamese mail order bride is not hard to love at all.
marriage is not as simple as a commercial transaction. lets see how all these developed in the next few years.

[[marriage is not as simple as a commercial transaction. lets see how all these developed in the next few years. ]]
Isn’t it ironic that you said that when we have countless matchmaking sites and speed dating companies doing good business.
What is so different between these two?
The girl has a goal, which is to marry a husband who is not from a village (which she perceived to be not a good marriage) and feels that a Singaporean man would have the qualities she needs, is that so different from our women wanting to marry an ang mo man for better socio-economic status?
@16) N on October 21st, 2009 7.20 am
That you are wrong. It’s not Vietnamese girls vs PRC girls but rather village girls vs city girls.
Village girls tends to be less worldly and more simplistic and most would end up being housewives. They are trained in simply farm work (which is back breaking in Asian countries) and house works.
City girls on the other hand, have seen the hustling and bustling of a city along with its seedier sides. Their aspiration would be some more than being a simple housewife. Perhaps a career woman or even a business owner.
Because of these, village girls are tend to be viewed with more innocence and city girls with more cunning.
I would not say whether either is good or bad. Some men prefer simple wives, some prefer more sophisticated wives. We should be happy there are different kinds of women. Else the world would be very boring.
Even Singaporean men don’t want Singaporean women.
The reverse is true as well.

1 thinggie for sured..pinoy filipinos made the best housewives…as good as gold all around the world…sam miguel beer please…
i’m at a lost for words.
i guess we can’t fault these potential vietnamese brides for being money-minded; after all, isn’t our society largely pragmatic too? it isn’t wrong to fall in love with a vietnamese, either, if it is indeed for love – and not lust.
imho, singaporean men who seek such… alternatives usually fall short the expectations of singaporean women. isn’t it logical to deduce that these men either lack in monetary wealth, charm, age, or any other superficial attributes? (actually, it was quite evident if you’ve viewed the above video) would it not be horrendously unethical for such… flawed men to marry foreign women? i guess it’s more carnal hunger they seek to sate than actual matrimony bliss.
yet we cannot generalize; there are some who aspire genuine love, and what entails it.
their true intents, who can tell?
kudos to you, toc, for pointing such incidences.
it’s funny how virginity is still such a huge consideration. we are supposedly a modern nation but somehow these local men have the mind of an iraqi when it comes to choosing brides…
What the hell is wrong with you people who discuss brides like cattle?
City girl, china girl, why don’t we go all the way and start calling them by product codes instead? People who ‘buy’ brides have their reasons, we may not like the idea too much but as long as both sides agree respect should be given to all parties. Singaporeans (esp men), please don’t pretend to be innocent victims being fleeced by sly foreign girls, being able to speak (something that passes for)english does not make you superior , if you have been cheated by a foreign bride before perhaps you should ask yourself if you bothered look beyond face value and tried to understand your potential soul mate as a person before making a decision.
@24) youn on October 22nd, 2009 12.47 pm
Would you want to know or mind if your future wife has slept with countless men before?
While we should not over value virginity, we should not devalue it either. It should be cherished but not worshipped.
I remember when Jade Seah announced she is still a virgin, people were rolling their eyes instead of congratulating her.

[[yet we cannot generalize; there are some who aspire genuine love, and what entails it.]]
What is “genuine love”?
Romantic candlelight dinner? Years and years of movie and dinner dates?
OR
To be there and take care of that person no matter what state that person is (be it sickness, ugliness, disability, etc…)
The vietnamese girl may not have the former but if her new husband can take care of her and vice versa, then they would have experience genuine love.
After all, isn’t this what marriage was for the past few thousand generations? Did you think our forebears have “dating”? No, they too met their spouse on their wedding nights and they were able to raise families for thousands of generations that way.
The concept of romantic love is only very recent. And judging by the high number of divorce rates, I doubt it is really “genuine love”.
Singapore girls still waiting for Prince Charmings with 5Cs.

“Would you want to know or mind if your future wife has slept with countless men before?”
Please don’t get me wrong :) I highly respect my friends who keep their virginity for marriage.
What I was implying was that what if a lady was the sweetest person who would make a perfect wife, but because of that single insecurity of her past, it creates a barrier for an otherwise happy relationship…
I think as a modern nation we should have progressed further than judging the “faithfulness” of a spouse based on her past. Again, I’m not referring to virgins bound by choice or religion, but specifically men who expect their brides to be virgins.
27) btan on October 22nd, 2009 1.51 pm,
genuine love was simply taken to be actions of love and affection deemed desirable and acceptable to both parties involved in marriage. surely, there is no definite or absolute meaning to the term since the variable changes with every era, age, epoch, etc., as you’ve so rightly put it yourself.
if society operates according to the theory you propound, then there would be no use for dating, or courtship in today’s modern world.
you cannot liken such a day and age with the past, where women held little rights and, if i may use the rather crude description, were but cattle and commodities. when they knew not emancipation, or liberation; when the concept of equality was unheard of, even alien.
you cannot expect vietnamese women to expect less from their husbands than singaporean women do; regardless of race, a women is a women and it would be unethical for us to separate women by race and language types.
therefore, i strongly believe that genuine love is a subject of great debate and little can be done to distinguish an accurate definition.
and 29) youn on October 22nd, 2009 9.22 pm,
i find your point valid.
we have failed to identify that the fundamental cornerstone of marriage – one that transcends race, religion, language, even chastity – is ultimately love.
Whether is an indian or italian wedding, we always pay attention to the smallest detail. When it comes to planning a party, all details are to be looked into with the outmost attention.
Stupid that Chinese men are complaining about their own country’s women and yet, they go to Vietnam? What’s the difference? Chinese women are independent, so what? You marry for love and not anything else, right? Talk for yourselves, men of China. You are a constant nuisance to the hard working people including the Vietnamese because you are bothering them!
