Episode 823 of “You Want to Date” caused a buzz thanks to a Thai ethnic girl, Luong Thi Thuy Lam (25, working in Ho Chi Minh City). She caught attention by demanding an elephant as part of the groom’s dowry. Host Quyen Linh quickly joked about “borrowing an elephant from the zoo” to help the groom, Phan Huynh Anh Khoa (27, Ho Chi Minh City).
Recently, Thuy Lam’s thoughts on cooking and housework shared on “You Want to Date” have won strong support and praise from netizens for her confident mindset.
Thuy Lam said, “If we get married, when it comes to cooking, I can cook. Sometimes my sister says I cook well, but I don’t think I will spend too much time in the kitchen. Because if I spend too much time cooking, I think my vitality will fade and I won’t be in the same cheerful state as now. Like you can see, my energy is happy and abundant, right?
Suppose we get married, I will hire a housekeeper, and I will cook when I have free time and when I feel like it, like on weekdays or weekends. Or maybe my man will make me happy, then I will cook. During the week, I have to work and he has to work too, so we will hire someone to help with these chores.”
After hearing Thuy Lam’s sharing, hosts Quyen Linh and Ngoc Lan agreed with her and said she is a woman with a modern lifestyle and mindset. Many viewers also strongly agreed and supported her views.
– From my experience as someone married, I think she’s right. If you do too much, they start to think it’s your job and don’t appreciate what you do.
– First time I’ve seen a girl who’s both pretty, smart, and sensible.
– She shared clearly and stood her ground from the start.
– Makes sense, if you have the money, hire help to make life easier. That way both can rest and travel.
– I support her opinion. Not everyone has the courage to say it out loud, even though many think that way!
Luong Thi Thuy Lam has won admiration not only for her modern lifestyle and mindset but also for boldly and honestly expressing her thoughts. That’s something not everyone can do, because to think, speak, and act like that takes real courage.
