Figure and money come first? Why S'pore women aren't having more babies

Are Singaporean women so concerned about maintaining their figures that they choose not to have babies? A recent RazorTV report shows the views of some local women on this topic.

The report itself highlights how a previous post by STOMPer TrueSingaporean highlighted that younger Singaporeans should change their mindset and have more kids.

STOMPer Priplanning made a comment on that article, saying that 'Singaporean women care more about the shape of their bodies', and that they 'want a condo, a car, a maid and LV bags'.

The comment also stated that women wanted to enjoy themselves when they are young and choose to get married when they are old.

Razor TV interviewed both women and men about this view.

One woman who was interviewed stated that although maintaining their figure was a concern, if the woman truly loved her husband and maintained a healthy lifestyle, then they would be able to overcome such obstacles.

Another woman said that not just women, but also men choose to get enjoy themselves at a younger age and then settle down much later in life.

Of the men interviewed, most agreed that while they felt the comments had some truth to them, they would apply to all young Singaporeans.

I don't understand why there are so many post stating women are selfish and all. We are not the only one that cause birth rate to drop just because we are the one that give birth! Pls learn your science, you need a sperm as well to produce a baby!!
Is not like guys in Singapore doesn't care about look and getting a better life.

Glad you know women are selfish. They have had the better share of everything, it is time to have the tables turned on them.

femmefatale: "A career is much more stable than love." You just proved my point and the thread. No wonder singapore birth rate is dropping. Women like this want everything to go smooth for them, short of demanding that men give birth and not them. What happened to the notion "marriage is forever"? Not just working hard at it (this is very subjective and only valid from each individual's standpoint and not necessary the sacredness of marriage). Thank you for proving my point. Get the women out of schools and the workforce!!!!! You will see birthrates rise again.

Don't get what is so selfish about woman for caring about their looks and future. It's is not easy to fight strive for career with a child. Who doesn't want to look pretty and have a nice figure. Instead, th man who are saying all these are indeed selfish! A career is much more stable than love. You can work hard for career and results can be shown, but not all love when you work hard, it shows result.
