5 C's in a man; Cash, Car, Career, Condo and Credit card. Are these 5 C's important in determining the right man in your life? I wonder if Singaporean women are still using this 5 C's to find their other halves.

Well for me not all of the 5 C's are necessary. I would say that a man should have a stable career. With a stable career, your life would be secured. You don't have to worry since there is a source of income. Women want stability and security from the guys. And with that stable career, of course he would have cash. But of course, I would not depend solely on him. I would have my own career. With a combine income, it would really help a lot.

I also think that a guy should have a car. It's important especially when a guy has a family of his own. Travelling would be a problem especially when there are children. It's a hassle to bring them out by taking public transport. I've seen so many couples bringing their kids out. Some would push the pram and just occupy so much space. Having a car means convenience. You can travel anywhere you want to.

Personally, I feel that living in a condo is not a good idea. I know it's nice to live in a condo where you have all the facilities available. But then again, so much money is involved. You have to fork out so much every month to pay the maintenance fee. Buying a condo is not even affordable. Not all condo are nice. Some are too small. I rather stay in a 4-room/5-room flat. As long as there's a roof over my head, I'm contented.

I think it is not wise to have credit cards. Unless, you don't spend much and can pay the bills later on. Having credit cards can be a nightmare. If you are those type who shop a lot, be careful when comes to credit cards. Yes, it can be addictive sometimes. You just have to give your card and sign. You would be very happy for that moment but when the bills come, I think you can faint just by looking at the amount you have to pay back in return. Credit card acts like you buy first and pay later. And if you don't pay your bills, you can be declared as a bankrupt. So it's best not to have credit cards. But I think it's alright to have one just for emergency purposes. Let's say you don't have enough cash with you and need to buy something urgently. So that credit card would come in handy.

So my question to all the ladies out there, which C's are important to you? Or you wouldn't even consider any C's. Maybe personality, character or looks play an important role in choosing the man of your dreams.
