This is very well said and coherent from a neoclassical economist. Unlike the liberal of west who thinks they can cap costs or introduce minimum wages without consequences.
What's one trait or behaviour that immediately puts you off someone, regardless of how attractive or successful they are?
For me, it's people who lacks accountability. Always quick to point out others' flaws but never their own. Everything is someone else's fault.
Nobody's perfect, but if you can't even admit when you're wrong, that's a huge turn-off for me.
What about you?
For those who grew up with well-off or rich parents in Singapore, when did you first realise your family was wealthier or more privileged than most?
Was there a specific moment growing up when you realised that things you thought were completely normal weren’t actually the norm for most Singaporeans?
Noticed a bible verse plastered on the side of the Uniqlo building at Orchard gateway
Couldn’t find any explanation for this online. Does anyone know how or why this may be there?
Curious to know from both men and women of SG, on what makes a man or woman "good looking"?
For a woman, the common attractive traits I feel men tend to latch eyes on for are:
- fair skinned
- skinny / lean / petite framed
I feel like any woman in the above category as long as they're thin enough, they get away with being good looking, no matter the facial feature.. I say this because I've seen how some man will fall head over heels for someone petite when face wise not v pleasant... But if we reverse that thinking and imagine if they are chubbier, will they still be considered good looking?
For a man, i think for me at least, im drawn to:
- height and broad shoulders
- dense brows
- tanned skin
- not too buff but fit enough to go on a hike / exercise
I'm bored so just thought to find out what are some physical features that make a human seemingly good looking :D
would love to ask a guuy out, but under the pretext of being friends
guys of sg how wld you react if a girl approaches you
I've read about film cameras, iPods and portable CD players making a comeback overseas. Does anyone here actually carry them daily?
if so, why did you choose to remain? is it because there is less drama, more peace? no time to date? no money? or?
Where do all the runners go? Do they still go running outside or go to the gym? If it's the gym, they must be overflooded by people trying to use the treadmill by now.
Piggybacking off the other post.
In particular, do you really need to just be nice and chio? Anecdotally I don’t think so, because my smart and rich friends have always tended to find equally smart and rich partners (though the women are always still pleasant looking at minimum).
I am just curious. And I can understand English well
Grand stall opening was two days ago. Queues are forming way before the stall opening hour. What have we been missing out?
I read worst dating stories ever in sg. There have been so many negative posts regarding dating in sg, so I wanted to share my story. I want to hear from others too. What are your most wholesome date stories in Singapore?
Here's mine:
I am just an ordinary sg guy, the girl I was very fond of was extremely smart, pretty, kind and independent. I knew she was the one for me right from our first date. We had talked for quite a bit over text, but due to busy schedules, first date was on hold for about a month. Our first date was brunch, we walked to the cafe, but went a little too far and had to u turn. Probably because we were too engrossed in our conversation. Nice and cozy cafe, when she ordered food that we can share on the first date, I was surprised. We were already sharing food on the same plate. I could find stars in her eyes listening and watching her talk about her interesting stories. This girl can yap in good ways it is rare. She is a good listener too! The cafe gave us a fortune cookie, she split it into half, taking one piece for herself and giving me the other. So cute! There was a 4D number prize that came out on the fortune cookie slip but I didn't bought. More so than that I felt I was the luckiest person just having meet her. I can see that she took a lot of effort to dress up nicely for our first date, I complimented her shyly but could have been more generous with it.
Second date, planned for dinner and activities. Sitting beside her admiring the golden hour. When the wind blew her hair, I complimented her side profile. I was 100% sincere, but looking back the delivery seems like an observation made very politely. Didn't know how to flirt. She laughed, and what followed was her smile that could melt even the toughest hearts. I was totally mesmerized in the moment and smitten. Went for desserts and I was quite shocked that we already reached the stage where we were sharing ice cream at this point. Conservative me, but I take it as a sign that she is very comfortable with me. We opened up a little more to and more vulnerable each other, talked about plans and outlook in life.
There were more future and exciting dates, but good things always come to an end. I am more than happy to pay for the dates, and she always made sure to treat me to the next meal or dessert. She orders her favourite mains, I order mine, and we share it together. I love getting her gifts based on what she mentioned and likes, and she is just as thoughtful in return.
Edit: Thankful for all the kind replies and stories, I am delighted. I am not good with words please forgive me if I come across the wrong way.
Just bought some KF94 masks for outdoor activity and plan to sit tight in aircon at home.
Not too sure if an air purifier (hepa?) is a good investment if the haze will end soon...
Anyone tried replacing iPhone battery at Mister Mobile? How is the battery durability and performance?
My boyfriend and I were planning to do a group trip with his friends for June 2027. The idea came up in August during a gathering with his friends but nothing is confirmed. They're all working adults, so it's hard to get everyone's schedules to line up. When he brought it up to his friends again no one said anything about it so I told him that we should just do it alone. They have started talking about it again but it was very brief. But we have looked at flight tickets periodically and I’ve been looking for things to do in vacation country. But now because his friends started bringing it up again, he keeps saying that the original plan is to travel with them etc etc. Here comes the hard part.
Some context: I'm studying overseas and I'm back in SG for now but I fly back in Feb 2027. After that we won't see each other in person for about four months, and I won't be back in SG until possibly EOY. So our time together in June is limited. I've told him a few times after that I would want it to be a trip with just the two of us. Nothing against his friends, I just want quality time with him since we'll have been apart for so long. His response is that if I don't want to go on the trip with his friends, he'll meet up with me after it ends. That would mean losing up to a week of the time we have together. He also said I shouldn't make him choose between me and his friends, because he'll choose both. I understand his friendships matter to him, and I'm not trying to make him pick. I just feel like a few days to a week is a lot to give up when we have so little time. When I asked him “so you don’t want to spend that extra time with me” he replied “also no choice right since you don’t want to travel with my friends which means we can spend more time together”.
They’ve been friends for literally their whole life and this is a ‘pact’ that they’ve made = to travel together as a group yearly. It’s not that I don’t understand but I feel that this is a whole different circumstance/situation… Am I being unreasonable ?
