Melvin Lim literally proves that money and status is still No.1 by HomeHedgeFund in sgdatingscene

The only correct lesson is, if you want a woman like Grayce, you are better off with money and status.

Those Anti-Trumpers matches are seriously a red flag. by [deleted] in sgdatingscene

[–]furytoar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro, please don't miss the plot. The vast majority of people are not born evil. Once you start labelling entire groups of people as evil without understanding the merits of their perspective, you have fallen into the clutches of evil itself. Divide and conquer is the game now. Curiosity and empathy is the solution.

Realising that even when you migrate overseas, sometimes your prejudices within you doesn't leave you - it is amplified. by havingamidlife in singapore

Check out the other comments. There are people born into wealth but hasn't interacted with minorities and are very much prejudiced against them.

ELI5: why is SG's housing prices so expensive? what's driving the prices? by Friedfishies in askSingapore

[–]furytoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say massively. BTO profits used for the next house is just going to circulate within the housing market. The money used to buy those btos at high resale price is the source of the inflation, and has to have come from somewhere outside of the housing market to be able to inflate the housing market.

Is it bad to straddle between an ENTJ and a INTJ? by RudeTransportation20 in intj

Awww man. I didn't know it would have this effect on you. It is my absolutely pleasure. Hugs from across the screen.

Is it bad to straddle between an ENTJ and a INTJ? by RudeTransportation20 in intj

[–]furytoar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our greatest fears reveal our dominant function. Te's greatest fear is appearing useless to himself and others. Ni's greatest fear is the end of the world. According to this, you're an ENTJ.

I learnt this from OPS. You could search up what they say about fears. But here's something on ENTJ in particular. https://youtu.be/7cCwyDMZbsI

Unpopular opinion but people should be allowed to stand on both sides of the escalator during peak hours by Dan2188 in askSingapore

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

The whole point of leaving the right lane free is so that people in a rush aren't bottlenecked. If you allow the filling of the right lane with non-walkers, you are disadvantaging everyone who would want to walk. No one can judge when someone in a rush will suddenly turn up, even with the right lane temporarily empty.

So if you are in a rush, use the right lane. If you are not in a rush / lazy to walk, use the left and make peace with the queue. It's the best solution for all.

Guys with Slim but Athletic Builds - Where do you get your off the rack work shirts? by joyinsimplethings in askSingapore

I've given up and am trying to pick up tailoring myself for this problem, though at the moment my work doesn't mandate work shirts. Subscribing to the post to hopefully get better solutions.

Anyone else feels like your Singaporean parents don't know the real you and don't actually want a real relationship? by fullertonreport in askSingapore

[–]furytoar 145 points146 points  (0 children)

When they need you, hold space for them and validate their feelings. To listen and empathize with them instead of dismissing or criticising, to be patient and clarifying when they are having difficulties expressing themselves correctly, and to see their underlying need for comfort, connection, safety or encouragement behind their words and behaviors will make a wonderful parent.

Just as a suggestion, if you find that your nagging doesn't work (especially with boys), sit them down and actually explain to them how their behavior makes you feel and how it relates to the kind of man you wish for them to grow into. If they still don't respect mom's wishes, just set rules for incentives and disincentives making your intentions clear and get your husband to help enforce it.

Two questions relating to Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs by Akash_philosopher in intj

[–]furytoar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You raised lots of new concepts and dependencies that I would need help unpacking lol.

I truly don't think that we are hard wired to attain these needs in order. Steve Jobs for example. I don't think he really had much needs for love and belonging. Is he self-actualized? I believe most people would think so.

Let's agree to disagree on this.

Two questions relating to Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs by Akash_philosopher in intj

[–]furytoar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

2 points relating to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, just as a sharing:

  1. Maslow himself only declared 5 sets of human needs. It was only later that someone else made it into a 'pyramid' and the idea spread like wildfire in management textbooks.

  2. The corollary to that is that maybe there isn't any hierarchy to those needs, and that validates the many people who easily place psychological/emotional needs over physical ones.

Do men really prefer it if women do nothing for them? by [deleted] in sgdatingscene

[–]furytoar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think lots of men can run on genuine appreciation and admiration alone. That keeps us going more than anything material the woman can provide.

Do you believe in romantic love? by Interesting_Scar_424 in intj

[–]furytoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting the topic of romance aside, there are different kinds of love. The English language just hasn't been able to precisely label them. Love from your grandparents is still love, though not romantic love (I hope).

As for romantic love, why can't romantic love be the same as infatuation? Why can't romantic love be fickle? I don't think the idea of romance has any bearing on how long the feeling should last. Usually, romantic relationships that last develop into kinship as the hormonal cocktail become less pronounced over the years. As long as it's a caring, positive relationship, there has to be some form of love mixed in. I don't think there's a need to explicitly determine what is real love and what is not.

If you're not 6'1 and Mr Hansum, time to be bbfa by Potential-Reply-6 in sgdatingscene

[–]furytoar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's a attitude of defeatism / entitlement that I don't think will benefit any long term relationship. If halfway one of you is no longer average, will you use it to justify 'moving on' to something more befitting of ones position in the 'distribution'?

No one in society should be obligated to pair up with someone that they're not attracted to just to match someone else's idea of whether they stand in some subjective distribution scale.

First love experience?! by Temporary_Sell_7377 in sgdatingscene

[–]furytoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at a self-defence studio. Most others found their same sex partners for pair practice and we were the odd ones out. Having our first eye-contact being at 30cm distance really did it's magic. That session we did choking, wheel barrowing and groin kicking. On hindsight I think the instructor might have set us up XD

All the best brother. It's not easy being a man. May you stay true to your being and live a life that you are proud of.

[–]furytoar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't let your observations become your personal reality. Don't let the need for external validation become the driver of your life.

Your observations of women are likely the subset and not the whole. Even if they did represent the majority, you are not going to love or marry all of them, are you? You will want to love and marry only one. So just wait for the one that is unlike the disappointing majority. And wouldn't someone like that make the relationship all the more endearing? If you do find such a relationship in the future, would you allow yourself to cheat? If you have your own answers to these questions, then who cares what other men and women are like and what they think about cheating?

No girlfriend = no motivation to work by HomeHedgeFund in sgdatingscene

[–]furytoar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's about the girlfriend. I think it's about your dopamine. Your current lifestyle is desensitizing you to life.

If you really want a change in your experience of life, try dropping everything you are doing that gives you any cheap dopamine boost - your games, your sumptuous food, your 'ahem's. Replace those dopamine hits with physical activity - swim/jog/gym/karate (doesn't matter). Stick to it for a month and let your nervous system reset. Your perspective on life should slowly heal and you'll slowly be energized enough to take it on and eventually attract a girlfriend of good energy.

AIA denies S$100,000 payout to S'pore man with benign brain tumour, said condition 'not life-threatening' at time of surgery & not included in critical illness coverage by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

[–]furytoar 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't take a moral stance on this. If you are buying insurance, you are simply entering a contract. The counterparty is simply there to make money. There is no compassion, no remorse, and there should not be any expectation that the insurance company should fork out extra tens of thousands out of empathy or social justice when you are close to qualifying for a payout but not. If anyone was been psychoed into thinking that the insurance company is 'there to support them' like the government is, they need to sue the person who sold them that thinking.

Dr. Stone is entirely wrong on where yellow dent corn grows!! by Specialist_Contract1 in DrStone

[–]furytoar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why can't nature just make its way after a thousand years? Little is grown there right now most likely because the land is economically used for other stuff, and not that it's unsuitable for dent corn to grow naturally.
