local say no count, Billionhairs FT say can or not?

Pick this up at HWZ. Bring it here for discussion. In my dept, about 80% married. And my impression of MCFer regulars, most are married. That's why find the stats alarming.. Source http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore...-035606362.html 76% of men and 56% of women remained unwed. According to SingStat, between 2001 and 2011, the proportion of singles increased particularly among younger males and females. Here's more from SingStat: Among those aged 25-29 years, 76 per cent of the males and 56 per cent of the females were single in 2011, up from 65 per cent and 41 per cent respectively in 2001. A relatively high proportion of males and females in their thirties were also never-married in 2011. Among those aged 30-34 years, 38 per cent of the males and 25 per cent of the females remained single in 2011, compared to the 31 per cent for males and 19 per cent for females in 2001.

What habits do men and women hate in the opposite sex? 5 March 2012 Lianhe Wanbao Lianhe Wanbao carried out a survey to find out what kind of behaviour local men and women disliked most in the opposite sex. The survey, according to the paper, was carried out on Thursday afternoon (1 Mar) on radio FM100.3. It follows a similar survey by a Japanese website on the kinds of female behaviour that put off Japanese "salary-men", as the office workers are known. The Lianhe Wanbao survey found that women dislike: 1. Men without drive and ambition. One woman gave an example of a friend, a 37-year-old man, who lies around at home doing nothing all day. She said the man won't look for a job, and asks for handouts from his siblings and mother. But even when the man tried to work, he often got fired quickly because he was poor at every job. 2. Men who are gossipy and stingy, such as those who fight for seats with women in the MRT. 3. Filthy and ungroomed men, or those who look too square, with glossy gelled hair, and a comb sticking out of their back pockets. 4. Men who get touchy feely with their female friends or try to take advantage of the girls around them. Or men who engage in public displays of affection with their girlfriends. 5. Men who like to shake their legs when sitting down, and those who pick their teeth with toothpicks while making sucking sounds. The survey found that the men dislike: 1. Women who are constantly wary of men and think that all men are perverts. According to the men, some women will dress in a revealing manner, then glare accusingly at the men while constantly trying to cover themselves up. Other men say that some women will look very wary when they visit the toilet alone. These women, constantly looking left and right in suspicion, make it seem like all the men around them are perverts. 2. Women who are self-centred and have no regard for others. Men say some women will carry large handbags around, bump into people, but won't apologise. The men also want to say to the women, "If you want sexual equality, don't expect men to take on extra burdens for you." 3. Women who "act cute", and those who constantly fling their long hair over their shoulders and throwing seductive looks at the men. 4. Women who don't know how to dress appropriately. The men complain that some women don't have curvaceous figures, yet don revealing tops. Some women also like to wear tight clothes, seemingly oblivious of their folds of fat, or "spare tyres" hanging out. Worse are those who don't shave under their armpits yet wear sleeveless tops out. 5.Women who wear slippers out and make annoying dragging noises when they walk.

ST Forum Jun 9, 2011 Spare a thought for the ageing singles NATIONAL Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan identified young couples, divorcees with kids and low- income families as the groups needing most help with housing ('Khaw: Three groups need housing help'; May 27). The ageing Singaporean singles are being sidelined yet again. It does not matter if we are aged 45 or going on 55 - we are expected to live with our aged parents. When married couples on dual incomes are having affordability issues buying directly from the Housing Board, the Government has again failed to recognise our plight amid the high prices in the HDB resale market. Even though having a home of our own increases our marriageability prospects, we are not permitted to buy direct from HDB in pro-family Singapore. The standard HDB bureaucratic reply is that there are already adequate measures and schemes in place to address the needs of ageing singles. Even when we cannot yet find someone to be our marriage partner, HDB expects us to be able to live together with another single person in a jointly purchased HDB flat. Are we to wait till our advanced years to be categorised as 'single, aged, poor' before we make it to the top of the list for housing help? Chua Kim Chuan

There have been so many issue brought up by the opp parties but have not heard anyone mention about this particular issue. Or maybe not many realise. Talking about high cost of living and housing. Would love to hear opp parties bringing up this issue on singles not being to purchase a flat direct from HDB and can only get hold of a flat from the re-sale market. Make me wonder why? Ain't they Singaporean that pay the same taxes just like anybody else?? If couples find it hard to own a flat, what more a single.

Mdm Wong trying to kick out her own kids? So many clubs for singles to mingle and be promiscuos. ST Forum Mar 2, 2011 Create a township for singles I REFER to the recent articles on dating, marriage and having babies ("Govt to help singles find partners and couples to have children", Feb 21; and "Govt may review fertility schemes 'as early as next year'"; Feb 26). Young people like to be independent and to have their own space, and one of the best ways to do that is to move out of their parents' homes and live on their own. The Government may want to consider creating a Village Township of sorts, with homes built specially for young, working singles aged 25 and above. This will create a situation where singles live near one another and have greater opportunities to interact and mingle. Invest in good, affordable housing infrastructure for singles to have their own space to meet easily and comfortably in a home environment. Singles who get hitched can then exchange their "singles flats" for a subsidised family flat outside the township. But if a person chooses to remain single, perhaps an occupation limit in the "singles flat" could be imposed, say, up to age 40 or a leasehold of 15 years. Mary Wong (Madam)

Single Guys... so what do u do????

There are indications that the number of singles here are growing in numbers ever more than before....such that dating or matching agencies have turn this 'opportunity' as a possible business with profits to be made!...even the gov have jump into such ventures by providing 'seed' $$$ to fund such ventures! But there are also indication that even with such agencies and prodding by the gov, many would still NOT tie that knot...The above being some of the possible reason(s) but what else could be the other reason(s)? Feel free to discuss.
