Rise of the 3S Women

Author: lyinmei

3s women refer to single, stuck, and 70s women in the society today that are generally born in the 1970s, have decents jobs, and well educated.

After reading the article on The Sunday Star on the 14th Dec, 08. I started to ponder alot.

The article talks about a well groom women-Guo Xiao that is labelled as 3S as the age of 34 years old, working in a foreign bank as a mid-level manager in Beijing. She is turning down dates and believe to have past the’best marriable age’which is commonly known bwtween the age of 25 to 30 years old.
Thinking back that she met the wrong guy at the age of 26, whereby the guy was talented smart and wild yet not ready for marriage or even settling down.

In order for her to get over the heart breaking relationship, she persue her studies further.

The number of well educated single woman is increasingly. According to the Shanghai Municipal Statistics Bureau in 2007 stated that there are more 60% of the 500, 000 asingle people aged 30 to 50 in Beijing.

Guo does not intent to get into any relationship unless she meets the Mr Right, she is not rushing into marriage as today is no more as what the saying says for woman: “to marry is to live”. Better education and jobs are giving career women better financia status.

I believe this is not only happening to woman only but also to man today. People today focusses more time and energy on their career and tend to let alone than into getting involved into relationship.
Some men today are not even ready into a relationship and are not ready for commitments. Some might get into relationship and not taking it seriously.

I was back in my hometown and heard a news which apprently was a GOOD one! My cousin bro in UK got a girlfriend already, and the girl was from Butterworth too.
I think this was the most delightful part to her mum as she was overly worried and wanted to matchmakes her own son with some neighbourhood ladies. HAHA

Throughout the whole conversation, his mum and dad was so happy to talk about it. They were laughing all the way through when they was telling me how long they have started the relationship already. haha

Marriage has been taken much lightly as compre to the olden days, today you see the couple tying the knot. Two years later, you see them in the law firm divorcing each other.

Are people today getting harder to satisfied? Are they changing too much until their partner could not further understand them?
What is in the mind of them about MARRIAGE?

I have my goals that i want to achieve, in terms of career. I’m much inspired to work towards what i want. At the same time, I am a much dependent person.
Judging from now of me not having a boyfriend, and is not planning to search for one in Australia.

As my aim now is to study and score extremely well to not only make my parents feel proud, but of course- self achievement.

Would I even to let alone a relationship in future to chase towards my goals?

Some of you would say no- definitely!!
With Yin Mei’s personality.

What about you? (girls)

would you let go everything or leave everything behind and follow a guy.
would you merry a guy if you’re in a higher ranking career than the guy of course with better financial status.

But love is really blind, everything surrounded you is really dark. What you see is only him/ her in front of you.
Thus, choosing the Mr Right is definitely a must thing :)
