SINGAPORE: A Singaporean woman took to social media to share that she got upset when her boyfriend gave her a Dyson hairdryer he received as a perk for signing up for a credit card.Initially, she said she was thrilled and surprised by the gesture, as she knew the hairdryer was expensive.
One Redditor thought the woman was being petty and ridiculous, wondering if she didn’t like the hair dryer simply because it didn’t cost her boyfriend much. A third Redditor took a jab at Singaporean women in general and said they are ‘some of the most materialistic, pampered and self-entitled women one is likely to meet anywhere.’
One netizen pointed out that her boyfriend was, in fact, a keeper for thinking about saving money. He then sarcastically asked the woman if she preferred to date some dumb man who would spend a lot of money for her gift instead.Another asked the woman, “Is it something you want? If yes, then why the fuss on how he got it?”
