Woman gets schooled by SG men for saying, “If you’re too broke to own a car, please don’t bother dating us and focus on your work first”

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean woman ignited a social media firestorm after publicly shaming local men for not owning cars.

Posting anonymously on SGWhispers on Sunday (Oct 27), the woman expressed her frustration with men she met through dating apps who, to her disappointment, ‘did not have cars to pick her up for dates.’

Instead, they offered alternatives like public transportation or booking a Grab from her location—options that didn’t meet her standards.

She went on to say that if men couldn’t afford a car, they should prioritize their careers over dating.

“Seriously, what’s wrong with SG guys?” she asked. “If you are too broke to own a car, please don’t bother dating us and focus on your work first.”

The post quickly gained traction online, drawing a flood of reactions from netizens who found her comments entitled and materialistic.

One netizen sharply responded, “If you think it’s easy to earn S$100K to buy a piece of paper just to drive you around, then you should either:
1. Lead by example and show them how. Or 2. Go find a driver as a boyfriend to fulfil your want.”

Someone else added, “If they own a car, they probably don’t need dating apps. If you want to date a car owner, you should at least be on their level; focus on working to own one yourself first.”

Several others joined in, sharing their experiences of knowing wealthy individuals—
