In 2005, 6,520 male Singaporeans/PRs married foreign brides, up from 4,425 in 2003. This is 25% of all marriages in Singapore.
The same stats for females: 1,596 local women married foreign men, up from 1,134 in 1996. 7% of all marriages.
The takeaway here is that Singapore is getting global. 1 in 3 kids will have a foreign parent. But the no. of males marrying foreign brides is frightening. Of course, thanks to 30+ agencies bringing in SE.Asia wives. Females do not have this facility, nonetheless 1,000+ still manage to find non-Sg hubbies.
The 2nd stats:
Marriage rate 2002 2007
Males per 1,000 unmarried SG males 47.6 43.8
Females per 1,000 unmarried SG females 47.9 42.6
In 2002, the marriage rate was roughly the same and has since declined but the drop for females was much more drastic.
The 3rd stats:
Median age of marriage 2002 2007
Males 28.9 29.8
Females 26.3 27.2
The rate of increase of median age for females is also higher here.
The 3 stats here show that Sg women are increasingly unwanted, partly due to marriage agencies bringing in foreign brides. However my guess is that even if we take out this factor, Sg women are still being left on the shelf. (Maybe it's a good idea to start agencies to look for Ang Mos for Sg women )
My advice to Sg women: Don't be too choosy, too stubborn, too materialistic and think that all Sg men are just not up to mark. Nothing beats a blissful marriage with family, kids, even if it's in a 3 room HDB. A single life full all spas and massages does not fill your soul. The other option of marrying a romantic ang-moh, sadly the stats are against you. Only 7%.
My advice to Sg men: Strive to be more romantic, be more ambitious, get that 5 figure paycheck, provide for your family, meet at least 50% of your wive's unreasonable demand and you should be ok. Don't go for the Vietnamese wife who cannot name 1 English soccer team.
The good news article of foreign brides.

u do not understand women.
we dont just marry for the sake of marrying.
just like miss singapore Teo Ser Lee now mid 40s still single.
miss singapore cannot find a hubby??? very simple ....just like miss Teo, me also still single cos we cannot find a suitable singapore man that lives up to our expectation!
good men are very quickly snatched away, the left overs can forget it.
if i want, i rather go for married men.
