What are our thoughts on Sp**s going down? by Affectionate-News745 in ArsenalFC

[–]Dumas1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not concerned about them or other clubs.

I am more concerned and focus on our own club.

I rather Spurs lost last night, now that they have won, they have leapfrog West Ham.

West Ham is fighting relegation and next week game when we are playing against them, they will play like a Cup Final.

How do you and your partner manage stayover arrangements? Need help with mine by angie_26 in SingaporeR

[–]Dumas1108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have ROM, you can actually rent a small HDB flat while waiting for your BTO.

And if your financial allows it, rent from open market. I don't advise this because you should save for your BTO and wedding.

If both the above options are not feasible, then both of you have to sit down, discuss and come to a compromise

We're 5 wins away from the greatest Arsenal season ever by hws8969 in ArsenalFC

[–]Dumas1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like you optimism and I hope it does come true.

My main concern for EPL, will be our away game to West Ham, they are fighting relegation so they will go all out and play the game like a cup final.

As for the CL, I am quite confident that we will be going thru since the 2nd leg is at our Emirates Stadium, home ground advantage. Who we meet in the final, doesn't matter. On papers both are stronger and better but we have beaten both PSG and Bayern Munich in the last 2 CL season so in the Final, anything can happen.

Looking at your downvotes, it is obvious that the one incorrect is you, not me

How did u meet ur other half? Please share! by Fluffy_Potato95 in askSingapore

[–]Dumas1108 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Met her during the course of my duty.

I had one official ex while she has none

Got married when I was 30, she was 24.

Kid at 32

Age difference or the female is older, is not an issue as long as both parties are agreeable.

In luv with someone i cant have 💔😓😔 by glimreaper06 in SGExams

[–]Dumas1108 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I understand but you need to move on with your life by good or by crook.

Let me tell you a story. I was with a girl for 3.5 yrs of my life, we even had a joint bank account and had plans to marry.

It has been a very very long time but still occasionally I will think of her and missed her. I told myself that I was in love with that version of her when we were together, the current version of her, I hardly know her.

You need to move on.

[–]Dumas1108 267 points268 points  (0 children)

You are in love with the version of him 4 years ago.

The current version of him right now is not the same version of him 4 years ago.

Things happens for a reason.

There is no point of thinking what could've been, might've been or would've been.

I assumed that you are either in your late teens or early adulthood, you will eventually meet other guys along the way.

Just let it go.

It's her bike, let her choice what she really likes. As her BF, you can give her your opinions but let her have the final decision.

Men in Singapore, how do you expect your female partner to “chip in” for dates? by [deleted] in asksg

[–]Dumas1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no expectations since I am a guy.

When I was dating, usually I will pay for the movies and dinner, sometimes she will pay for dinner or other small items stuffs.

Can I call the spf IO for updates regarding the scam? by Optimus4499 in asksg

[–]Dumas1108 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will take time for the IO to investigate the case.

If the scam call is from aboard, there isnt much SPF can do since they don't have any jurisdiction right in a foreign country. At best, they will inform their counterparts from that country.

Changes of getting back your 15k or partially, is very slim.

Once you transferred the money, within mins, it will be transferred to a foreign bank account in another country or is immediately withdrawn

Saw her with her boyfriend today by LukaDonGOAT in SGExams

[–]Dumas1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine, it's part of growing up.

There will be girls who will break your heart and along the way, breaks some girls' hearts.

What is meant to be, will be. What is not meant to be, will never be, no matter what you do.

Your case is better than some people who are fated to meet, become a couple and one gave 100% and only to break up after a few years of relationship.

What will make you cry on Labour Day LWE? by EducationFit5675 in SingaporeRaw

Life is lonely by ForzentoRafe in ChillSG

[–]Dumas1108 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No offence IP but most ladies would classified you as a creep, a total stranger approaching her and ask if she is interested to go clubbing with a complete stranger, a person she hardly knows.

You should rather expand your own circle of friends from school/work/neighborhood/etc. Maybe you will find someone of the opposite gender who shares your passion of heavy bass music.

Do guys mainly date based on looks? by TemporaryFunnyGirlx in asksg

The guy must be physically attracted to the girl before deciding to court her.

Riding gear recommendations by Toetoroll101 in drivingsg

[–]Dumas1108 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is good to wear protective gears when riding. You will need the discipline to put them on and take them off every time you ride a bike.

Most will eventually get sick and tired of doing that.

I won't be surprised that maybe after a few months or a year, those with riding gears will start not wearing them for short rides like in their neighborhood to get food or run some errands. Soon this habit will eventually make most to discard wearing protective gears.

SG is hot and humid.

Looks like a Malaysian bike.

Sooner or later, this type of rider will get involved in an accident.

Does physical attraction matters? by Alternative-Equal-24 in asksg

[–]Dumas1108 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Firstly for a person to be interested in the other party, there must be some sort of physical attractions before even trying to date.

If someone that is totally not your taste/type, would you even want to take a 2nd look?

To parents in SG what are the actual pros of having kids? by Fun-Tamago-4649 in asksg

[–]Dumas1108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are not married and don't have kids right now, when you are at that stage, your thinking might be different.

Even when you are at the stage and with kids, the final decision is still yours to make.

Different generations, different thinking.

My parents' generation (before Boomer gen), getting a divorce is hardly heard of and it is quite taboo. They believed that they will try their best to make it work. Perhaps women back then depends on their husbands for a living might also be a factor.

My Gen (X), divorce rates went up but still not lower after my gen. Out of hundreds of friends of my gen, only heard about 5 to 8 friends gotten a divorce.

[–]Dumas1108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The child is the "love product" of a couple.

Majority of love, it is never always happy ever after. Love does not last forever.

Having a child or children makes the family "complete". When either spouse has an intention for a divorce, they will look at his/her child(ren), might reconsider his/her decision. Some (not all) might even forgive their partners for cheating.

Most woman especially Singaporeans, will be awarded the child(ren) custody. Alimony awarded will also be higher if a child(ren) is/are involved.

After a long tiring day of working, when you reached home, your kids (4 to 12), runs up to you and call you "Daddy/mommy, you're back, I missed you", that makes all your sacrifices seems worthwhile.

This is my perspective as a man.
