A Singaporean woman is questioning why some men react with offense when women reject them based on their financial situation. She posted on the r/asksg forum, inquiring if these reactions are common in Singapore. The woman argued that marriage is the most significant financial decision a person will make, and therefore, when choosing a partner, people should consider their lifestyle and financial compatibility.
She questioned why this topic is considered controversial, suggesting that discussing money early on in a relationship could help avoid future issues. She invited married couples to share their thoughts on whether marriage remains the most important financial decision and if there are contexts where it might not be applicable. The post received mixed responses, with some agreeing with the woman's perspective and others arguing that it is inappropriate for a woman to ask a man about his earnings or filter him out based on his salary.
Some users suggested that financial capability should be discussed, but inquiring about specific income levels could be seen as overly intrusive. They proposed focusing on shared values and lifestyle compatibility instead.
