Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

To all samsters here, do you all agree? Please share your ideas and experiences with it. If you've ever been in a relationship, please describe any difficulties you encountered. I appreciate this so much

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

yup, it's happening now, especially this current generation.
influenced by the new media and they start getting curious about how to love the other nationalities nd start a relationship with them.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Interesting…..

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

If possible, I still prefer dating local SG girls. The similarity in background & culture makes communication much easier. Also shared the same lingos, jokes, taste for great hawker fares etc

Unfortunately, the expectations of sinkiebus are increasingly sky-high along with the inflation rates. Unless one is tall, handsome with successful career, the chance of landing a local SYT is pretty dim.

Many of my peers have married & settled down with foreign girls. they seemed to lead pretty happy lives too. and no longer is the trend that only older, blue collar uncles will marry foreign brides. there seems to be an increasingly number of young SG men (below 35) with decent profession jobs that are also settling down with foreign girls

I have at least 6 guy friends whom have married either a Viet, Thai or ATB lol. All seems to be happily alive now :D

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

i definitely am open to it. the world is your playground

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Generally, I find Eastern Europeans women are more feminine than their western counterparts and our Singaporean women.

Of coz, like any other race and nationalities. There will be gold diggers.

My exp with Polish, Ukrainian (not hoes) are pleasant. Just ask IX Shen :D
Might date one if I ever got enough dough again. :D

Word of advice, best to learn their languages.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

yeah sure, its called diversity. :D

(Speaking from a man in his late 30s separated from his wife)

I used to think I will never date a non-SG girl especially from the Asia region because of language and culture barrier but after my recent solo trip to Vietnam, my mind opened. I met a woman (not ML/FL but with a decent job teaching Chinese language and giving city tours) in HCM. My tour became more of like a date because of our chemistry. I can sense that this woman is someone that can withstand hardship with her man and is very willing to sacrifice for family. I just think SG girls put themselves too high up in the Maslow’s Hierarchy.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Congrats on meeting someone with great chemistry on your solo trip! I've a few frens who hit up with ladies from VN too and they seem to be happily married now :)

On the other hand, those who married SG ladies looks more tired & miserable after a few years lol :p

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Thanks bro. I guess there are more and more highly qualified and independent SG ladies so sometimes it's tiring to have to perform up to their high expectations.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

agreed with your points. i do prefer a local sg girl due to similarities and common things we can relate to due to living in same country.

however due to the increasing standards, i am also now open to dating foreigners.

i too have friends that are happily married with foreign wives.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

agreed, dating foreigners might be a challenge at first since u guys have different background, but i think this is a good thing.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

its actually becoming a very common thing. but this i think happens to guys whose seen the world with an open mind.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

I'm fine with dating a foreigner. My ex gf for 3 yrs is a Thai living in Thailand. I didn't pick her from a bar, I known her for about 5 years before dating her. She was from province, but working in an MNC in BKK. The only difficulty I had is the distance, had to keep traveling to meet, went over multiple times a month. If you find language barrier to be a problem, then the problem is likely to be you for not putting a simple effort. We broke up because of the indecisive conclusion for our future. And it wasn't my fault, I was fine to either live in SG or move to TH.

I've never dated with SG ladies. In fact, I don't really like our society and culture. I wanted a partner with low education level and able to accept a simple life. Unfortunately I see these kind of partners don't seem to be welcomed by our society. I find too much education ruins the minds of people. It makes people want more and more.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

In my short life, i have dated a Malaysian Chinese and an angmoh before. I have no preference for nationalities as long as we click.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Dated 1 SG woman. Man, it was enough. Felt like an indentured servitude. Sometimes, I wish I was gay, lolol :D:D:D

Our SG society simply looks down on people with simple expectations. Combined with the tertiary education and women's charter. Even Malays and Indians women now are 99.9999% same across the board. Nothing wrong with women wanting a better life. But explicitly demanding like a child will turn any rational man off. This is the million dollar problem. Caveat Emptor!

Sorry yr RS didn't work out with that thai woman. I would moved to thailand if I were you. Spare her the toxic culture here. Why don't you consider moving to Thailand permanently for better marriage prospects?

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Right now, I have a problem to move to Thailand permanently. At that time, she discouraged me to move there because of the country's instability, yet couldn't have a conclusion on where to settle down. This is a problem that will end a LDR in marriage or breakup. I had 2 relationships, and both were LDR. I accept the reason for the first breakup (Malaysian lady) was my fault.

That Women's Charter and MOM regulations reduced a lot of choices for us who want really simple women.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Not sure how MOM regulations restrict a foreign wife. Since I am ignorant ab this. If you're under 40. Moving to a specific province of Thailand. Perhaps, you can set the rules where and when you could find a nice thai lady. If this is yr end goal.

All RS (including marriage. Not my cup of tea) take consideration amt of work. Learning thai is consider a reasonable req too. Gd luck!

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

No, I don't mean about the restrictions for foreign wife, but the restrictions you will face if you want to date and marry a FW (foreigner worker) who is already working in SG. It is not that difficult if you marry a normal Thai girl and bring her back eventually.

I been thru 2x LDR but never dated a SG girl before. Not learning the language is not an excuse. I could speak Thai even when I haven't met my ex simply because I simply like going to BKK for regular breaks. In fact, I learnt Thai and Japanese, but neglected Japanese because lack of usage. You can get can better treatment and experience when you do things like chionging there.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

some friends dated indo women, any samsters here would like to share?

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

You're one of the sanest and rational samster I ever met on this forum. The rest and me included are probably suffered from personality or mood (cluster B , NPD, BPD) disorders.

All the best for your marriage prospects. Have a gd one and take care.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

I find fair treatment a good thing. Even when you chiong, if you treat the WL / ML good, they may treat you better. You get an enjoyable time.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Somehow agree to this statement. Only had 1 reciprocation

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

yeah agreed. they might go extra miles when we treat them different. it's human nature.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

this is correct. language barrier is no issue and can be learned. Question is you want to or not.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Many Singaporeans nowadays quite chill about dating people from other countries lah.
Singapore is like, super diverse and got people from all over, so dating someone from another country also quite common.
But hor, everyone got their own opinions, so some might more open, some might prefer local lah.
Just be yourself and see where things go can already. Don't stress too much bro.

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Siambu for life Siambu for wife :rolleyes:;)

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Vietbu for Life Vietbu for Vice :p:cool:

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Very open ah

Re: Are current Singaporeans open to dating individuals of other nationalities?
 

Nationalities do not matter. Culture and communication can be acclimatised over a period of time. What matters more are the looks and figures. Can call me shallow but it is really tough finding a local chio and shapely girl as compared to foreigners from thai, viet, china.l or malaysia. Plus it seems foreign girls are more willing to accommodate to your way of communication as compared to locals who are simply spoiled in sillypore
