[iam7377]

Those uni grad women are so picky and difficult to please nowadays.

Men got money can already. U didn't read the Thai kopi King news?

70 year old coffee king married 20 year old lady...

 

[PixleRavenix]

Why does she restricts herself to only university graduates?

But when it comes to marrying AMDK even a high school GED would do.

 

[Johnpierpontmorgan]

waiting? you are so wrong...

they just go for the A+ studs who earns big bucks and drive a nice car. might even give it up on the first date. unfortunately such a stud would usually have a huge backlog of women.

as they get older they will think "i used to date A+ studs so i'm deserving of one, my standard is A+ studs and they must be willing to marry me too. "

unfortunately the A+ studs will be dating the younger ones out there who will give it up without talking about marriage, like she did in the past.

you will see some at 30+ finally settling down with an average joe with an overused **. those average joes that doesn't have a chance with her in the past. then that joe will get hit by WC later when the woman think of her glory days and goes back to her old ways

Lol

I wouldn’t give past 30 any chance.
Pump n dump max if they still look ok

 

[Johnpierpontmorgan]

Nope nothing wrong. But males have no issue marrying lower educated woman with less income. Can the females do it?

I know of some female grads, minimum requirement is partner need to have a degree from NTU/NUS

Heng I got ntu degree


But it’s worthless compared to SPU, uptron, IIM

 

[Tabbycat in grey]

Aiya males no worrries lah ... just pay $8000 can get mail order bride. Can choose skin Color, face and age somemore. Like my friend, second day the friend’s friend who is vietbu sleep on his bed Liao after coming to Singapore for sight seeing

 

[Tabbycat in grey]

Exactly lor. Reminds me of the thread, female complaining the handsome guys she dates are superficial the irony right? Call people superficial but she herself want to date handsome guys

Ugly males not Superficial meh. Not only ugly but also superficial ... of course choose handsome lah

 

[GundamG]

they can try selling themselves to amdk countries.

 

[xiaosinsinful]

Ugly males not Superficial meh. Not only ugly but also superficial ... of course choose handsome lah

just saying, she chooses handsome guys and then calling them superficial. its basically the pot calling the kettle black?

 

[Arbosana]

FTs can fill the gap, they are not picky.

 

[Surrealz]

What's there to panic about ? Lame leh

According to a Marriage and Parenthood Survey conducted in 2017, 83 per cent of singles in Singapore aged 21 to 35 years old intended to get married.

But out of the singles (aged 21 to 45) surveyed, 59 per cent were not dating seriously with a view to getting married.

And out of these (people who were not dating seriously), four in 10 preferred to leave dating to chance.

S is a 31-year-old Singaporean university graduate working as a fund manager. What’s interesting about her, however, is her clinical take on dating, and discipline in searching for a partner.

She explains that according to demographic data, female graduates aged 25 to 35 will find it very hard to settle down with male graduates because there are just way more females than males in that sub-group.

And so, in order to “beat the odds” and find a partner, she apparently nearly finished swiping all the Tinder profiles in her demographic.

My interest was piqued. And so, I decided to meet her to find out more.

Those who were approaching 30 and still single started panicking

Like me, S tells me she never thought much about settling down while she was studying in university. She assumed that it would all work out somehow in her late 20s — she would easily find someone, date for a bit, get married and live happily ever after.

By the time she was in her late 20s, though, she realised this wasn’t going in the way she envisioned at all. Panic ensued.

She wasn’t alone in this experience, she said. Many of her female peers, who faced the same issue of still being unmarried by the time they approached 30, were feeling anxious about being single.

So, why are these women having difficulty settling down?

There could be a wide variety of reasons. However, S had an insightful statistic to share.

Far more uni-educated women than men, aged 25-34

According to data from the Department of Statistics (SingStat), there were 76,000 graduate females aged 25 to 29 in 2018. In the same year, there were only 60,300 graduate males in the same age range.

And if we look at the university graduates in the age bracket of 30-34 in 2018, there are 79,000 females but only 70,100 males.

The SingStat data dates back to 1990, and tells us that there have been more female than male graduates, for the age bracket of 25 to 34, for at least the past 30 years.

The data does not provide further breakdowns on the proportion of those who are married or single, but the fact of the data is that there are far more female university graduates than male university graduates aged 25 to 34.

Okay, cool. So what does this mean?

Assuming that female university graduates in Singapore are looking to marry male university graduates of a similar age range to them, the prospect of dating and marriage appears to be skewed against female graduates.

All waiting for their AMDK.

why even marry in the first place? foreigners after localized can still hit you with the WC

there are young virgins out there who don't mind staying unmarried and have your child if you can support her family. i'm talking pennies like 200-300 a month. go for those instead.

 

[Illusionist_85]

Because the females only want to marry males of equal or higher standing.

Nothing wrong but they should offer something that is equal or better too
