A Singaporean male recently gave a review after using a dating service and posted his experience online. He stated on how he paid $400 for a 4-hour date and he was elated after he managed to hold a girl’s hand for the very first time.
Here is the full story.
Total cost : $400+ (Because of PH surcharge as well as extending date to 4 hours – cost includes foods and drinks) Note : You have to pay for the drinks, food/activities for both yourself and your date. Dates are typically 2 hours
How she looked : 7-8/10, slightly below the profile picture but certainly not anything too drastically different. I requested she wear something with a Japanese aesthetic (She was kind enough to oblige). She was around 170 cm(no heels). Overall she looked materially better both in terms of face and figure as compared to your typical day to day female (but maybe its cause she was wearing makeup)
Her personality : She was kind of quirky and quite obsessed with animals in particular her cat, she was sweet and caring (but perhaps an act). She was a bit shy but not as bad as me. She managed to carry the conversation throughout the 4 hours.
The date itself consisted of going to a medium priced Japanese restaurant total cost around $100. We ate a lot of nigiri as well as sashimi, it felt a bit weird? Like eating with a stranger I suppose but we talked about lots of things (My and her work, personal life and hobbies). Surprisingly she also watched anime (once again not sure if this was fake and pre planned?) She had some shallow knowledge about some popular titles but she was clueless about the more niche and seasonal titles. After that we felt quite full so we went to gardens by the bay to walk and once again more conversational topics (mainly personal life stuff from both sides so nothing interesting). I asked her if we could hold hands (against the rules) but surprisingly she was fine with it. This was the first time I held a girls hand that was not family and I was a bit dizzy. We ended the date going prawn fishing (the smell was horrible).
Overall throughout the date I was cringing throughout, I enjoyed it on some level but I continuously felt like a degenerate, the night I went home as well as the day after I felt a serious sense of guilt as if I did something wrong. Overall the girl herself was quite accommodating and nice (but who wouldn’t be for $400 am I right?). It was a surreal experience but considering the wave of guilt that overcame me afterwards I wouldn’t do it again.
Would I recommend it? To someone who has never had a gf before, maybe if you had the cash to burn like me. Perhaps I would recommend renting an e-gf from epal.gg instead, it’s much cheaper ($10 per hour) and has practically the same effect except one is virtual the other is irl.
I think the price point was a bit steep but for me I felt it was affordable as it was something I did only once in a blue moon.
Many members of the public who planned to go to the garden at Chinatown which was located on a bridge to sing and dance, the regulatory authorities had erected fences and posted notices in the park, stating that to prevent the spread of COVID-19, events and gatherings are prohibited here.
However, the fence has been removed a few days ago, and the dancing group, which has been silent for a period of time, was reported by the public to hold a party at Tianqiao Garden the night before, and this time there were more people, and it seemed to be a party. Later, the report was reported to alarm the police to come to the venue and blockade.
To control the crowd in the area, some people who were organizers of the party even collected so-called “$10 membership fees” in order to access the area.
A total of 6 tables consisting of 18 bottles of drinks and snacks was arranged for the New year days party.
A drunk man who tried to rekindle his love with his ex-girlfriend went to the coffee shop his ex was working at to find her. But the other party refused to agree to reunite. He was so angry that he threw a wine bottle on her head and was sentenced to 24 days in prison.
The 58-year-old attacker faces one count of causing intentional hurt to others and he pleaded guilty in court.
It was revealed in the court that the defendant had been dating a 39-year-old beer girl of Malaysian nationality for two years. The two broke up just one month before the incident, but they still maintained their friendship.
The defendant went to the Sengkang coffee shop where his ex-girlfriend worked at around 9:40 p.m. on September 21, 2019, after drinking six bottles of beer, and ordered another six bottles of beer from her. The ex-girlfriend was about to leave work at the time, and she sat at the defendant’s table to drink and chat with him without changing her uniform.
Later on, the ex-girlfriend wanted to change her uniform and got up and left at 10:45 in the evening.
Upon seeing this, the defendant grabbed her hand to prevent her from leaving, then picked up a bottle and smashed it on her head, causing the glass to shatter all over the floor.
A passerby called the police after seeing this, and the police arrived and sent his ex-girlfriend to the hospital for treatment.
The defendant left the coffee shop before the police arrived. The police officers found the defendant at a nearby bus stop shortly afterwards and arrested him.
