S'poreans want to marry but don't look actively for mate
-
MOST Singaporean singles here long to be married, but are just leaving it to fate. Few actively hunt for a spouse, and believe that Mr or Miss Right will appear magically when Cupid strikes.
That's one of the main findings from new research on Singaporean Chinese singles by Professor Gavin Jones, a demographer with 45 years' experience who has been based at the Asia Research Institute here since 2003.
He also found out that most singles here will not lower their expectations of a life partner just for the sake of marrying. Many are just too busy with work to hunt for a mate, while some avoid the dating market for practical reasons.
For example, less educated men who feel they don't have enough money to start a family or find it hard to get a girlfriend, he noted.

How do I actively hunt for a spouse when most of the time I have to work?
There are more unmarried women these days so it's not that difficult to find a 'support group'.
I'm self-sufficient, so I guess it's just plain too bad if I can't find anyone to marry. It's not the end of the world.
And people always say, better to wait and marry the right person than to hurry and marry the wrong one. Marriage is for life, heck.
Just sayin'.
