According To Singapore Statistics...
I am...
One of the 33,200 women who outnumbered the men on the island. 1000 of us for every 982 men on the island...
One of the 28.1% Singles...
One of the 22% between 30-34 who are not married...
One of those who have missed the prime marriage age, which is 25-29...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Interesting stats.
I happen to hear it on tv or something, so I kaypo-kaypo (being nosey) went to find out the actual numbers from the SS website (gee, their website design is ANCIENT! :P)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And then I thought about a friend of mine who has just quietly gotten married to a China girl (ROM), while another guy is dating a girl from China too...
The men often seen on newspapers and tv, who went to Vietnam and came back with a Vietnamese bride... Or Thailand, or Indonesia, or India...
Then I thought about the gay people...
What is there left for the rest of us (local women)?
I do admit Singaporean girls are too strong and independent for local men. Take for example the friend who is flying to London for training. Or my colleague's cousin. Both are high-flying financial executives. Literally.
Well, at least they've got the money. The latter has a boyfriend and according to colleague, they even shared payment for a condominium...
What's in store for people like me, no money, no career, no man? Hmmm... It does sounds kinda sad, huh?
I am not going to go into some "I will survive" talk. Whether you empathise with me, or snort at my comments, or go "Humph!", I'll leave the end open for your personal ponderings. If you have friends who are like me or my friend, please do not begin by telling them that their standards are too high.
Spare some thoughts about our options that are available to us.

Hmm. Get yourself a toy? It can keep you entertained as and when you want it. And you can customise your mode of enjoyment according to your own needs.
I recommend the PSP. ; )
Hmmm... I prefer shoes, bags and clothes and cosmetics, thank you very much! :D
No double entendre here... what about the internet? Though I imagine shoes, bags, clothes, & cosmetics will go further towards getting you noticed by someone... ;)
Good choice! :D
