I am a research fellow (31 y/o, 171cm, 56 kg) doing research in AI at a local university with a bring home monthly salary of $7.5k. The thing is, there is a shortage of ladies in this field and even the remaining few are either attached or married.

Moreoever, I do not want to use Tinder or other dating apps because I find those a waste of time and even if I get matches, the girls will show their true colors during actual meet up and exploit me for free treats. Anyone who is 30 yo and above in a similar situation as me? How do you guys find your SO?

Here are what netizens think:

Better to be single than u regret later. Let fate take its course better. Dont force it.

7.5k is not enough to survive. better stay as single

From your past experiences, we can conclude you deem to be single for good. What is wrong with free treats free holidays free gifts? A lady who earns double your salary won’t look up on you anyway. Grow up!

Why don’t you put your research skills in researching on how to woo a woman with your 7.5k salary… I’m sure you will be able to settle this in no time the rest of us here who had a partner are all just plain lucky 

It’s better to be single n happy n to be with a gold digger. or some high maintenance lady with princess syndrome. Usually such marriage doesnt last long. Just be yourself n spend time with your loved ones and what make u happy

I think we actually should be single in life.. what’s the point of having babies? The olds said.. have someone in futures.. but.. how sure u r to take cares of u?

In the old days…there was a term called “potong jalan” ….the rest is up to you…
