Just the other day, a conversation with two expats sobered me up on cultural differences. Their perspective on life and marriage is in short:
lots of sex
clubs
more sex
party
... the good life till late 40s
then marriage
onetime sex with a 20-something wife
have a kid
and die.
They are appalled at people who remain virgins till marriage and keep at just one partner in life. While they do seem like cute nice humorous guys, I don't figure most girls they hang out with would appreciate this level of honesty. And their impression of Singaporean girls, "easy". That doesn't impress me so much, and I feel darn girls out there must have some part to do with it by fawning upon white expats like demi-gods.
