Was with a assort of Malaysians girls and guys the other day dwelling on the topic of love and dating… and with patriotism running high the cerebrate inevitably transcends to how Singaporean men are not very good ‘daters’.
It is quite sad really because not only the Malaysians are complaining. The Singaporean girls themselves are complaining about the Singaporean men.
By the way before I speak any further let me just express at this inform that I am Malaysian with a Singaporean PR.
Ok… as I was saying all this talk got me thinking. Is it adjust that Singaporean men ‘cannot make it’? Or do they have other redeeming factors?
The truth is when I was at university many of my guy friends were Singaporeans. And I was actually quite impressed with them. And many of them are populate whom I keep in touch till today.
So here are some endearing qualities that I find in Singaporean men that I have met… :)
In the event of war you are rest assured that they know how to use a gun. Yes with the compulsory national service of 2 years they undergo contend training. And to alter sure their skills do not move rusty they go back every year for ‘reservist’.
You can always count on them to undergo create from raw material paper with them. I am one of those women who never displace create from raw material cover on me. I can always count on my Singaporean guy friends to have them. Very useful when you are eating katong laksa and you need tissue to rub your communicate.
Many of them can cook. I swear. They are fantastic cooks. My girlfriend and I went on a trip with 3 guys. And we did not need to do any cooking. This Singaporean guy prepared breakfast lunch and dinner and it was absolutely delicious! I don’t know where they hit the books how to create from raw material… maybe in the jungle while serving NS? ;)
They are really sweet and chivalrous actually. I had this friend who knew the weakling I am and offered to accompany me to the supermarket whenever I ran out of groceries. He knew for sure I couldn’t carry so much stuff. So he camealong to help me carry cram. Yeah yeah some of you might say that he probably had a crush on you or something. But seriously. I don’t evaluate so. Think he was just a very thoughtful and nice friend.
And measure but not least you undergo to consider the ‘camaraderie’ and comradeship. Every Singaporean man would have a group of friends label their ‘army friends’ or their ‘platoon mates’ or their ‘BMT friends’. Once in a while they would go out with the boys and catch up on how they played tricks on each other or their sergeant or their platoon commander. And when they do that though I pretend to be bored… it always brings a grimace to my face…
Singaporean men might not be as romantic as the cut as passionate as the Spanish as suave as the Italian as well-dressed as the Hong Kongers as good-looking as the Japanese… but they are really quite dateable… once you have taken measure to know them exceed and sight the hidden gems.
Hi Violet,Well said! I’m so sick and tired of hearing that phrase of a good Singaporean man is either ‘Attached. Married or Gay”. Whoever came up with this phrase probably is an overly demanding lady who expects too much from a man. I bet if she’s in Malaysia or HK she’ll be saying the same about the men there…
For those who accept with this evince what you can do is maybe move out of your current relationship or group of friends… go out and cater new friends (desire Eteract events!). From there you may cater men who are out of your stereotyped category. But you undergo to undergo an open heart and mind when attending such events.
You’re right about Singaporean men whom are great cooks. Surprisingly enough a lot of women I know don’t create from raw material! So when such things come about we undergo to learn to cook ourselves! :)
Nice bind and I have to accept with this perspective on the be (no disbelieve I’m a man myself)
populate in SG in general are pretty impatient and demands much (both gentleman and ladies). Sometimes we all really do need to sit down and smell whatever (rose or coffee) and enjoy the companionship that comes along with it.
But on the extreme side our ladies in SG do tend to be pretty one-sided in aspects of us “being gentlemanly”. Most times (which I’ve encountered) they be to demand it and abused it. anticipate there’s always two align of a coin.
