How do Singaporean guys like to be approached?
Hi guys. I’m just an Aussie girl trying to understand how you guys like to be approached. This guy just moved over here in the country a year ago and I have a thing for him. Hopefully he feels the same. We’re somewhere between acquaintances and friends and we have a lot of common interests. We’re both just ex-emo kids that like to hit the gym in the morning before work and goof off at the conference room after work playing DND and Ping Pong. I understand you guys can be a little more guarded than the guys in my country so I just need some advice. P.S. Idk if you’re on here but call me haha.

- In general Singaporeans are a little inarticulate and sometimes lack confidence when speaking, their education systems emphasises written skills over spoken skills although it’s improving. They generally don’t like mixing out their own circles as a result so they are ‘shy’. However they are usually well raised, honest, generally trusting and family oriented people. The men are not what I would consider to be sexually aggressive compared to Australian men, this is a legacy of their laws that severely punish men who act out against women.
In short, you’ll need to do the leg work but it can be rewarding.
Source Aussie guy in Singapore. I have a son who fits the above to a T. - I can’t speak for all Singaporean guys but I think that most guys here are starved from emotional connections and feel lonely.Especially as a foreigner in Australia he might not feel any closeness to anyone so maybe if you show him some warmness/kindness it might make him feel attracted.I would say just be yourself and show some interest to him and see how it goes,Even if he is not interested it would probably be appreciated by him to have a girl interested in him in the first place.Dont sweat it:)
- Singaporean guy married to an Aussie girl whom he met during university. Currently living in Sydney. She was a cheerleader. I absolutely love Aussie ladies – Anglos greek/ Italian origin or ABGs – for their carefree attitude.
The response you’d obtained from a Singaporean man is empirically age specific. I have witnessed the older Singaporean guys in their 30s to be generally awkward, lacking in confidence and with success tied to monetary earning abilities.
The younger ones in the late 20s and below tend to be more adventurous aka Kelvin Nyguyen types. You sound like a zoomer so I’d venture in on a limp to guess that the guy in question is also a zoomer.
Interracial pairing between Asian man and white Aussie females are gaining popularity and celebrated (no negative sterotypes, power imbalance or white worshipping influences) amongst the younger generation so I’d say shoot your shot. If it helps most of my Singaporean male friend as also dating/ married to Aussies (white and Asians).
