My take on Singaporean Graduate Girls

Before you read on, or the rest of my blog, the posts are not meant to refer to anyone I personally know. These are my general observations & opinions. I have comments about many things & if you are affected by them, you are welcomed to close the page.

This is my take on Singaporean Graduate Girls

It is the cumulative impact of Singapore’s rapid economic changes, especially the fast emergence of the educated woman. In addition, female undergraduates are gradually outnumbering males and also matched or outperformed them in many professions. This has resulted in fewer women are prepared to marry men who are below their educational or economic status. The prospects of blue-collar men ever getting local wives looks bleak.

The impact of this mismatch has become patently evident. Men in their 40s live with their parents or siblings had not gone on a date for more than 10 years. An increasing trend shows more men are seeking their brides from foreign lands. This includes educated ones too.
The reason is, of course, not entirely economical. Even some educated men are convinced foreigners make better wives, because they are perceived as more domesticated, less arrogant or materialistic.
One common complaint against Singaporean women is their demand for the 5Cs – condo, car, credit card, country club and cash. Others blame the Women’s Charter, which they say is over-protective of women, loaded against men and may even encourage marriage break-up in some cases. Common comments are that many women here don’t know how to cook or do household chores and are too dependent on maids since very young. My personal experience is that singaporean women are even proud & stand by their inability to cook, like it's a proclaimation of womanhood & indenpendence.
Not all the men who marry foreigners are hawkers, taxi drivers or low-skilled workers. Some are professionals, earning S$5,000 to S$7,000 a month.
Not long ago, a woman wrote a letter to the press asking for the government to intervene to make it harder for foreign women to marry Singaporean men.
Singaporean women are increasingly measuring better and better against their regional sisters in education and earning capacity, but are not too highly valued as wives.
“They are more career-minded, not domesticated and have high expectations” is one verdict. Singaporean women can also be very very opinionated.
I think most Singapore girls can't make it. Those who really make good wives are rare.

They are materialistic, and loves being so. Shopping is a major hobby, and does not know how to look presentable. They are constantly demanding or going for overseas trips, & complaining how disappointed when they return. Soon they are off to the next one.
Singaporean females are just assimilating from Western influences blindly, adopting the wrong bits. They are being out-spoken & ditching the "feminine side" for the sake of it.
