Yay I love eps where it’s just the 3 OG hosts! The past guests were nice, but I love how the chemistry flows with Hazelle Azura & Germaine
I just saw germaine at funan during lunch today and I was fangirling internally!! We slightly bumped into each other and the way she looked up and said sorry with that big smile.... *melts* 😍
🤔 Really glad that they mentioned a lot of key factors... ...
That are honestly... ...
Food for thought!!!
😌 Thank you for this video
Hopeful that this channel can grow
Woman lie about their age - perfectly ok. Men lie about their height or looks - totally not ok. You guys are really good at making everything seem like the guy's fault. 🤥🙄
would be good if you could bring another alternative view point from a man or something for episodes like this :) gives us both sides of the coin i feel
Hi! We'll keep that in mind next time :)
first
Isn't she cheated of her body too?! She slept with him also because he's handsome and charismatic... It shows how naive the lady was, doing it with a guy who she barely knew. I really don't have much sympathy for those ladies who just get scammed by handsome men.
Hi, thanks for your thoughts! The lady was perhaps seeking a genuine relationship with the other party. No one should be scammed of their feelings and we should put the blame on people who have ulterior motives that could hurt people.
@@itsclarityco absolutely agree with you that the perpetrators are still after all the scammers who cheated these ladies of money, bodies and love. Don't get me wrong that I am blaming the poor victims. No sympathy is not equal to blaming.
But I will add on that ladies in the midst of finding love will have to be more mindful not to place their rationality aside and plunge into the love whirlpool. They ought to take a step back and wonder why is that man still single and available if he's so eligible. Is it too good to be true? There must definitely be a catch. And the person's flaw might be well concealed or overlooked by his charisma and charm. Or the flaw might only appear in a long term relationship. So lady must still thread a newly found relationship carefully and not give everything of herself to a rich, tall, handsome and charismatic fellow.
Agreed. If you walk around blindfolded and step into a pothole, then it's your fault; don't blame the pothole. Doing it with some random guy without further due diligence is just asking for trouble, no matter how hot the guy is.
Whew the stench of victim blamers in this thread... no wonder mental health isn't taken seriously in Singapore.
