Don't be married to your jobAnd because your finances matter less to her, and your friendship matters more, she isn't likely to be impressed by your long hours in the office.
In 2010, she wants you to be more committed to her than you are to your career.
"The majority say they want a partner who'll be there for them
at home, not at the end of an office extension number," says Taylor.
All of which is pretty good news. The woman of 2010 isn't expecting Johnny Depp or Donald Trump (or even a combination of their best bits). She wants emotional security, stability and a comrade in arms. She wants a real future, not a fairytale one. She wants a romantic, not a show off.
In other words, she wants exactly the sort of stuff most of us can offer.
No Milk Tray man
If thoughtfulness is in, so is real companionship. In difficult times, we all want someone on our team. It may be a cliché, but we want someone we can depend on.
"[In times of anxiety], we know that people will perhaps start to value the things that are not so materially obvious... There's nothing more empowering than knowing someone's watching your back," says psychologist Dr Cecilia d'Felice.
In other words, the woman of 2010 isn't looking for an alpha male offering promises of a fairytale future. She's looking for someone who'll be there when she needs him.
According to Kate Taylor, "what they're looking for is real-world romance - a partner they can count on day to day, not one who drops in like the Milk Tray Man then scarpers. It seems that what women are looking for in 2010 is a good old-fashioned bloke - reliable, dependable, and safe.
So keep your word and you'll keep your woman."
Class not cash
Don't get us wrong. Nobody is saying that the woman of 2010 would throw glitzy gifts right back in your face, or rip up those weekend tickets to Paris and storm off to Bognor.
But, as Kate Taylor says, none of that will really impress her anymore. "Gone are the days of bling - instead, a girl would rather you noticed her particular tastes and catered to those instead."
It's the same if you're just at the dating stage, says Taylor. Forget expensive restaurants - she's more likely to fall head over heels for walks in the park, picnics and home-cooked meals. She wants simple pleasures, and a bit of thought before a lot of expense.

Signs of the times
The Lovegeist report confirms that love and relationships are at the mercy of economic conditions like everything else. The recession has stamped its mark on what women are looking for in men.
But don't despair if you haven't got a spare bob or two. None of this means that women are looking for sugar daddies to shower them with gifts. Economic woes have led women to focus more on emotional security and less on grand romantic gestures.
In the study, just 14% of daters aged between 25 and 40 see a high income as a deciding factor in picking a potential partner, whereas 96% believe that feeling emotionally secure is important.
When it comes to wage packets, size isn't everything for the woman of 2010, it seems.
"Today's women have realised that true commitment is something that money and a wedding ring can't always buy," says Kate Taylor, match.com's relationship expert. "Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but they may not be her best choice for a life partner!"

Brad Pitt need not apply
Perhaps predictably, the woman of 2010 is not looking for a certified salad dodger who gets a sweat on climbing off the sofa. But nor does she want some skinny waif.
According to Lovegeist, 38% of modern women would choose a slender man, but nearly the same number - 34% - would be happy with a man carrying a few extra pounds.
As we'll confirm later, the woman of 2010 is a realist above all. She might lust after Brad Pitt, but in real life she's not looking for perfection. Thank goodness.

What do women want from men in 2010?
This is a question that has kept men on their toes for millennia. Read on to find the answers.
By Hugh Wilson,
MSN
It's a question that has kept men on their toes for millennia.
What on earth do women want from men? Do they want chiselled and buffed metrosexuals, as familiar with the inside of a gym as they are with the contents of a Jamie Oliver cookbook?
Do they want reliable breadwinners and nest builders, the sort of men who are not only around for the long haul, but can pay for it too?
Do they want hopeless romantics, hard-nosed realists or a confusing mixture of the two?
These questions would be easier to answer if women's preferences stayed the same. Like everything else, however, they change with the times, and often reflect them. What women want from men in 2010 may bear only a passing resemblance to what they wanted 30 years ago.
No wonder we're confused.
Happily, help is at hand. The company behind dating site match.com has just released the Lovegeist report, a study tracking changing attitudes towards love and relationships in the UK.
It's a document that covers all aspects of dating and relationships, but if you boil it down a few patterns start to emerge. There's no doubt that the woman of 2010 is a girl of her times - smart, savvy and realistic - but what she's looking for may not be as obvious as you think.

GENTING SP AGM 2010 and EGM 2010 at RWS
Big group of PIONEER GENTING shareholders were there loyally holding on to GENTING shares through thick and thin for more than 30 years.
They proclaimed that GENTING is GENTING and there is nothing comparable.
Even though the dividend had never been attractive or even not a consideration, they still go for GENTING LONG LONG LONG.
Since Day One till now, great majority of analysts were ALL WRONGS and MORE WRONGS.
I had met several investors who attended paid public investor seminars held by individual analysts who cautiously advised them to STAY CLEAR of GENTING SP at S$0.33, at S$0.68 ........ and some were even warned to NEVER TOUCH GENTING SP.
NOW, they ALL regretted that they had mIssed theIr FORTUNES.
GENTING TWINS have their own KARMA and so do their management as well as their shareholders.
It takes the PIONEERS mOre than 3 DECADES to knOw GENTING

Alcohol-coffee mix ‘dangerous’
NEW YORK
The drinks are dangerous, doctors say, because the caffeine masks the effects of the alcohol, keeping consumers from realising how intoxicated they are.
A brand called Four Loko — a fruit-flavoured malt beverage that has an alcohol content of 12 per cent and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee — has come under scrutiny after students who drank it in New Jersey and Washington ended up in emergency rooms, some with high levels of alcohol poisoning. The drink is only sold in the US.
“This is one of the most dangerous new alcohol concoctions I have ever seen,” said Dr Michael Reihart, who said he had treated more than a dozen teenagers and adults during the past three months after they drank Four Loko.
“It’s a recipe for disaster because your body’s natural defence is to get sleepy and not want to drink but in this case you’re tricking the body with the caffeine.”
The Food and Drug Administration is currently reviewing whether the drinks are safe.
— Mixing alcohol and caffeine is hardly a new concept but a rash of cases involving students and others who landed in hospital after drinking beverages that combine the two has alarmed college and health officials in the United States.

How Health Minister Khaw paid $8 for his heart bypass ...
Neo Chai Chin
chaichin@mediacorp.com.sg
In order to reiterate the importance of adequate coverage [who covers for him ? emplOyer ? persOnal ?], Mr Khaw said in his latest blog post yesterday that his operation, at the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), was mostly paid for by MediShield and a private Shield supplement, while Medisave helped in the co-payment of the rest of his hospital bill.
According to figures on the Ministry of Health website, the bill for heart bypass surgery is less than $30,000 for nine in 10 patients staying in an A class ward in NHCS.
Those covered under MediShield — a basic insurance scheme for CPF members — can choose to top up their basic coverage by supplementing it with plans from private insurers, while Medisave allows members to dip into its accounts to pay for hospitalisation expenses.
Recounting a recent meeting with health insurers, Mr Khaw also flagged the possibility of extending MediShield to cover mental illness, congenital illness and neonatal treatment.
Mr Raymond Fernando, whose wife suffers from schizophrenia, told MediaCorp such a move would “greatly help in relieving my financial burden… and, hopefully, lead to other insurers taking the cue”. It could also reduce the stigma of mental illnes and encourage more patients to come forward, said Mr Fernando.
Another idea f loated during Mr Khaw’s meeting with the health insurers was to raise the MediShield claim limits on outpatient cancer care, which stand at $300 per weekly treatment cycle and up to $2,800 for radiotherapy treatment.
Mr Khaw added that there was also discussion on raising the monthly payout for ElderShield — a severe disability insurance scheme — to extend the monthly basic payout of $400 and to extend the payout period beyond six years.
SINGAPORE — Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan paid only $8 from his pocket for his heart bypass in May.
