Thats the problem with many Singaporeans, always comparing. Its really not a question of looking down, but having the need to know that "I am more successful than the person beside me" mindset.
My mindset is to each his own. If my friend going some 3rd world country to settle down/earn money, that is his freedom. opportunities abound everywhere and we have no right to comment or judge anyone. Often, I noticed people are eager to know how much u earn, what type of car u drive, what place u stay etc....I say to hell with it, I never bother to ask my friends all these crap coz what they have does not concern me. Friends are for companionship and to enhance our social lifes and should not go to the realm of dollar and cents.
LOSERS, an interesting word in this thread. Coz many people consider us as losers coz we have vietnamese gf/wifes. It's like we can't find a local gal so have no choice find girls from 3rd world country. Funny that no one considers many singapore girls as losers if they hook up with expats here. Instead, we are told that Singapore man cannot "make it" thats why they (the Singapore girl) need to choose foreign men. Many do not understand that we genuinely like vietnamese culture and their women.
Sorry for the long-winded talk, but in short, i juz wanna say that we have no right to judge if others are losers or winners. And does my friend being a winner or loser makes a difference to our friendship? If that matters, that i'll rather not have such friends....

People like me who go vietnam to do business are considered LOSERS by most Singaporeans , who see nothing more than the shores of Singapore. But many years later today, i am confident to say that my assets are much more than theirs, both in Singapore and Vietnam.
To each their own, but one thing i know is never look down on others, you just will not know what they will achieve in the future.
