Being young

Youthfulness..It really appeals to men isnt it?

Men do like it young. One of the reasons why one would have an extra-marital affair is that the other is young and attractive. So why not? No such thing as love or whatever deep or even try hard to come up with superficial reasons others would give. The only reason is "she's young". There is no reason for men to come up with other reasons. Why should they? They already have what they wanted - a family. Money, not an issue. So, basically they dun have to think of any reasons.

I wonder if it's really true that women's value do depreciate in the eyes of men as they age. Jobs in society does place a value on women's age. Certain jobs hold women of older age in high esteem as that is associated with valuable experience that places them as expertise in that fields, while other jobs see older women as undesirable.

I've grown up in a society where women are gaining more recognition and having more rights that it is as if it is given that women should be allowed to be on an equal footing as men. Yet when I learn more and more about the culture of other countries, I realised how far Singapore has gone and how fortunate (or unfortunate?) we are. To some, it seems that once we have gotten married, we would quit our job and be a housemaker, making the home a comfortable place to live in, waiting on our husbands. I am not saying this is not good. In fact, if I am really happily married, I would want to do that. It's a luxury to be a housemaker. Of course, an attractive housewife yeah. Heh. But yet, that is not an option that I would take or seriously consider as of now. I cant imagine not working and just being a housemaker. perhaps it's because I've grown up thinking that it's not a right path for me. The feminist side of me does not allow that. Perhaps, when i meet the special right one that would make me choose that path.
