An anonymous confessor has shared his woes about a materialistic girlfriend who wants him to get a luxury car in the future because she wants to show off.

He claims that she has tried to argue that they need a luxury car because they are safer, despite the high price tag.

"I am a quite down-to-earth fresh grad from NUS (guy) and I have a girlfriend who is quite materialistic (eg. want nice clothes, bag, shoes, big condo etc). I really love her and I understand that different people have different flaw and I am willing to accept her for who she is. Hence, I am trying my best to accommodate her wants whenever possible.

An interesting conversation happened recently and I hope to seek genuine advice. We are planning for our future together and she told me that she definitely want a luxury car in future (BMW, mercedes, Audi etc ). I told her that a car is a depreciating asset and given the high COE price, I feel we should just get an ordinary car (Honda, Toyota) because the primary function of a car is for convenience and transport. When I said these, she became upset instantly. I tried to convince her that the prestige and status of a luxury car is superficial and we can spend the money better to areas such as our child education, insurance or even retirement fund etc.

Instead of being convinced by my points, she countered my argument with a very tricky answer. She said that she want a luxury car not because of the prestige or status but rather its safety. Then she started to talk about how dangerous it is to drive on the road, how she care about me and our future kid's life etc. She denied that she want a luxury car to show off. She just value our lives alot because she love me. Luxury cars have better safety mechanics and the steel used is strong (ie. wont be less crushed even if get into an accident). She said my life is priceless and she wants to buy a luxury car to protect us from traffic accident and hence the money is worth spending. :rolleyes:

Given that I have known her for so long, I am pretty confident (99% confidence interval) that she just want a luxury car to show off but know that it is wrong. Hence, she is reframing in such a way that she cares more about my life.

My best attempt to counter her is that I told her "then you should get a tank right? it's the safest." However, given that she knows that we definitely cannot get a tank, she just play along and said "yes i will get it if it is on sale because it is so safe." I am dam sure she won't get it even tanks are really available for sale but I cannot prove it.

I really feel that in the current society, people start to condone materialism more and more. Hence, it is not viable for luxury car companies to market their cars solely based on prestige and status. Hence, they are coming up with a new tactic called safety to jack up the price of their car.

But anyway, hope that some smart people can give me some advice on how to resolve this issue? Any car guru around? Is it really true that there is no cheap and safe car?"

Wrong answer, in Singapore you don't need a car with well connected public transport system.

TS or whoever.... Just remember this....just because you are now trying your best to satisfy her material needs and succeeded, does not mean that you can sustain it going forward....the slut is obviously looking for some fool to satisfy whatever she wants materially. What happens when one day you are no longer able to supply to her whatever material needs she wants (condo in district 9, merc, etc, etc), will she still stick with you? ....undoubtedly NO.

At that time, wouldn't you have an even bigger heartache? Loss of face in front of relatives and friends?

A slut who takes the bf as the money tree....'to improve' her material well being is more suitable as a hooker than a wife....no money, no honey, man...

The wise thing to do is not to give in anymore to her tantrums for more and more material things....if not, just give up the relationship....

There are girls around that do not talk money and material possessions, all the time...these are the ones which a man can spent a lifetime with....

Good luck with your search for a better girlfriend rather than finding ways to satisfy the material needs of a slut....:smile:

This NUS fresh grad must be thinking out of his asshole. How much is a fresh grad getting these days? $3.2k? That is.... if u can find a job with so many graduates!

Let's assume he gets a nice offer, say $4k from a bank. U think $4k can sustain a luxy car? BMW 5 series easily $300,000+. This SG cheebye wants the man to pay thru his asshole? haha

Troll bait and and the using the usual bait. They should try something different for a change such as - my gf's mum is hitting on me and she is sexy as hell. A more serious one that used to be popular during Her World era was the subject about marrying your rapist or why I married my rapist.

This is one example of why I laugh when the universities here keep on boasting they are world class (crass maybe).

Also another example of the tuition culture from nursery up to university level-with no 10 year series/past papers (with model answers) to guide them-they are lost!

This guy should learn some better judgement to tell the difference between a girlfriend and a whore.

It's kind of contradictory to speak of love and materialistic along the same line. For me, it's sentimentally impossible to love a girl who I know is materialistic. You can lust after her body, but how can one possibly love a girl who is materialistic?

You can only fall in love with virtues, not wealth or good looks.

If you are emotionally weak, you succumb to loneliness and you end up mistaking your need for emotional support as being deeply in love with someone from whom you draw your emotional support. You find yourself being held to ransom by the girl you purportedly love, but in reality you are just a needy mangina.
