“I’m a millionaire. So who wants to marry my money me?”

I read with amusement in today’s papers about a South Korean woman who is a millionaire (worth some US$18 million or so) who’s looking for a husband. She used the service of a matchmaking agency in her plight to look for a man to marry her. According to the agency, she is too busy with her business to find herself a husband.

So far, some 400 South Korean men have applied to marry her. And according to the agency who filters out the applications, these men range from the average man to the professionals like lawyers and doctors. Only 8 will be shortlisted from the hundreds of hopeful applicants and the bride-to-be will meet these men over the next few months to determine who she will marry.

I sometimes wonder if she will find what she is truly seeking. I’m sure what she wants is a man who loves her as her lifetime companion. But will any of the man really love her for her after that few short months of “courtship”? I’m sure they were attracted by the money in the first place to put in an application to marry the millionaire. Will love prevail in the end?

For her sake, I hope it does. What do you think? Are you optimistic that she will find love?

It’s one thing for women in the corporate world to voluntarily sleep with their bosses for a chance to get promoted, quite another when you are forced to have sex with the boss to get your rightful salary!

What’s the world coming to? I thought as we grow as a community, people become more civilised. Instead, it is showing that these days people aren’t really trustworthy anymore. What kind of employer forces his female workers to have sex with him before he pays her? This is not only sexual harrassment but may even be considered as rape!

I hope people like these are brought to justice. It is inhumane of them to do such immoral acts, to ruin people’s lives. These women only want to earn a living the proper way and he has turned it all into some prostitution act! The fact that the man has turned himself in to the police doesn’t ease the situation any less and he still should be given maximum sentence for the awful things he has done to the women.

I read a recent article that talked about the reasons for divorce amongst couples and found it interesting that couples of different races have different tolerance levels for common reasons causing divorces.

Have a look at the result that was compiled and see if you spot any surprises.

• Indian couples cite in-law inteference as the main reason causing marriage break-ups.
• Infidelity also rank high in Malay and Indian couples as a reason for divorce. It was surprising to read that the Chinese do not find this to be a main reason for divorce! And I’ve always thought otherwise.
• For the Chinese, health and gambling addictions are more prominent reasons for divorces.
• Indians would also take to divorce where there is abuse, but not so much with the Malays and Chinese.
• All three races agree that non-responsibility of a spouse is a cause for divorce.

What do you think of those reasons? You can read the full report of the study here.
