I have a couple hesitations. One being that I love my cooler weather and I'm a little nervous that I may melt. i know I will acclimate with time, but I literally will need a whole new wardrobe. I've also heard/read some not great stories about the dating scene. I'm sure everyone has a very different experience, so would love to hear yours.
As a married guy who spent eight years in Singapore, I can't say that I know much about dating in Singapore. However, I do have a few observations as to why a 36 year old foreign female might find the dating climate somewhat difficult.
It has everything to do with the large availability of sex from many different races of young women and the presence of lots and lots of working girls who are not looked down upon as they might be in the USA.
So, if you take the average married guy who might be looking for a little on the side, you're probably not going to take him up on the offer of casual sex, and he probably wouldn't press you too hard because one of the working darlings out there will take care of all his needs.
And, a lot of the single men who come here really find the nightlife a Disneyland experience... bars, music, and girls... lots of girls. In my view, most of these gents aren't too interested in anything serious... drink, dance, f*ck... and do it all over again tomorrow night.
That's not to say that people don't form serious relationships... they do. I think if you take the attitude of joining groups of people, either from work, or
condo, or from this board, for the purposes of having a fun night out, you'll meet someone you might click with. But, if you're 36, with a ticking clock and are looking for the serious "one", things might be a little bit different for the reasons I have mentioned above.
