What are the top qualities women and men in Singapore look for in a partner?
For men, looks are priority as they are visual beings, and they tend to prefer petite ladies. Men usually want someone who leads a similar lifestyle to them, and usually are skeptical about meeting someone who seems to be too “high maintenance”.
Ladies look for someone who is driven and stable in their career. They expect their partners to have equal or if not higher income level as compared to theirs, and most ladies want tall men – at least 10cm-15cm taller.
What are the top qualities you think Singaporean women and men possess?
Singaporean women are generally independent, global-minded and attractive! Men are filial, career-driven and confident.
