'Gold Diggers' in Our Society

For the record, I am NOT talking about Kanye West's rap song.

There's the Optimist, Pessimist, realist and then comes the Opportunist (a.k.a the Gold Diggers). We like to think our Asian women are less materialistic & demanding than Western ones. The reality is however, quite different. Just look at our society in the Indian subcontinent: most parents prefer their daughters getting married to someone based in a first world country over a local "candidate". Just because a girl is pretty (even if she is insecure and has zero personality, & is a nuisance & a pain in the arse), she thinks she is entitled to the very best in the world. It is very hard to feel sympathy for gold diggers in our society, but the way our society is structured, the gold digger always progresses in life, whereas the fiercely independent and secure woman always treads her own path in life, never fully appreciated by society.


Our society is brimming with women who'd much rather lather themselves in make-up from head to toe, have a sorry excuse for a career and have their intellectual prowess extend very little beyond 'Novels' and a good command of the English Language.

This sums up things pretty nicely.

The men in our society also play their part in this debacle with their mercenarial tendencies, frail/fragile egos, their dependencies on their partner. In today's world, it's not enough being a "nice guy". Doing justice to yourself:your mind, your body; & to others around you is imperative. And when issues of commitment & strength come, our men are weak defeatists. They prefer having a gold digger companion as they can't handle a strong, independent,secure woman as a partner.

As a result of these factors, the relationships in our society become transanctional; it is the basis for everything wrong in our society. The West has its fair share of gold diggers as well, but there is much less 'institutionalized gold-digging' and entitlement in the West than there is in the East. Institutionalized gold-digging & entitlement in the East starts the day the girl finishes school, & her parents"sell" their daughter to the highest possible "bidder",usually quite a few years older than her. 

Western women also exhibit a lot of insecurities about their physical appearance, but the average Asian woman (coming from a less privileged background) is more insecure about her social standing and status (how she is perceived in society) than a Western woman and will do all kinds of things to improve her situation, even if it means 'sailing ship', or deteriorating an unsavory relationship (this does not excuse the defeatist and weak attitude of the men in our society).

These are some of the reasons why our women are backward,

do not exhibit strength and independence. In reality, there is no such thing as entitlement, you have to struggle and fight for everything in life.
