Yes, I agree with TS to some extent but I beg to differ that SG girls would not cast an eye on you if you earn below S$3000. Well, it all depends on how old you are when you earn S$3000. Are you earning this much as a 25 years old or 35 years old? It makes a world of difference. If you are earning this amount at the age of 25 as a freshie or with 1 year of working experience then I'd say that it's quite a great achievement because the market pay rate for freshies in SG ranges from S$2500 to S$3500. So you wouldn't be considered as a lower bracket income earner.
In order to make USD6000 (or X 3.4 = MYR20400), hmm....I guess you will have to be a Cisco or SAP certified consultant with 5 years of working experience to attain that. That's if you are into IT line. If you aren't, then I guess you will need to be a freelancer in graphic design or event manager before you could make that much. If you are specialised in engineering then my take is, you have to work for an oil & gas company to rake in that much. And usually your employment type would be contractual (subject to renewal) instead of permanent.
I guess if TS wishes to pursue a 2nd diploma/degree in some course, it would be a good idea to study at a polytechnic in SG where the intake does not include guys who have been enlisted for NS for 2 years

. You would be seeing more than 90% girls in all courses. The ages of the girls there would usually range from 17-19 years which is good since a guy can have a better chance of knowing girls who are way younger than him. Since they are still students, I guess their expectation on your salary would not be as high as S$3000 a month although I don't deny that some of them are pretty spoilt and materialistic sluts. The difference is, you are working and earning your own money while they are still taking money from their parents. You can even afford to support them partially and they would look up to you for that. That would separate you from the rest of their male counterparts who are also still depending on their parents for financial support.
Think about it and let me know your take. I rest my case for now.

Added on November 16, 2009, 12:50 amOne more point worth considering is, our Malaysian government should make it mandatory that all guys of the future generations serve in NS and spare our girls from it. It should be a 1 year stint. This would give older guys the opportunity to look for younger girls in varsities while having less guys to compete with.
Secondly, to ease the gender ratio imbalance in this country, the govt should approve the establishment of more agencies that supply foreign brides from Vietnam, Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Make sure that these agencies don't charge exorbitant rates for the service rendered.
Thirdly, encourage more foreign women from 3rd world nations to take up permanent residency in this country but don't allow them to work as it will deprive the locals of job opportunities.
I know this is kinda far-fetched but the govt may want to consider employing such measure to satisfy the insatiable desperation of most men here.
PS: Perhaps the Ministry of Human Resource should have gone ahead to allow maids from China to work here without heeding the objection from MCA Wanita when UMNO Wanita did not give 2 hoots about it. After their contract is over, they should be free to look for husbands here.
