British (F) seeking new female friends

Well, I've been here for a while and made some good female friends but now they are all leaving Singapore...boo:-(
Would love to hook up with some expat girls (native English speakers) who have either newly arrived or are in the same situation as I am. I'm here with my husband and we are both from the UK, in our 30s and no kids so I'm free to go out socialising!
Favourite things are going out for drinks (sometimes too many!), and doing girly things - spas, girly movies and just sharing our experiences of living abroad etc
Perhaps if there are a few of us in the same situation we could all meet up for a drink one evening?

If I offer you a long-term friendship, what kind of benefits will I get?

Yes. Benefits. Everybody has benefits from communicating with each other, otherwise there is no point to look for friends. Better to stay on your own. And stop bulshitting your own self that there are "pure" (???) relationships!

Well, different people have different "standards"... so maybe the "purity levels" in your relationship/s are directly proportional to your own standards?

Example of your standards, please.

Umm, is there a prize for the effort?
(Notice how I avoid using the word "benefit"

Yes. I'll buy you a beer, and we can take the topic creator with us.
Go on. Example, please, dear sir or madam.
Some people's values are all twisted

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Sorry, but this comes across as a thinly vieled attempt on your part to get the topic creator to go on a date with you
And, I don't drink beer. Oh and that ought to read Madam although I'd infinitely prefer Senorita to Madam (factoring in the "local" context of the term)!

Senorita, don't be jealous. I "invited" the topic creator out of politeness only - to give some tribute to the topic owner. I always dreamed only about you and wanted to go on a date only with you (and I also don't drink beer... at least, often).
So, are we answering my question, going on a date or doing nothing?

Senorita nice name :d
I also don't drink beer but surely take dinner?
