What Men and Women Want


What do women want?
NLB ASK According to a survey by the Singapore Development Unit (SDU) of 200 single women, over 80% of the women expected the following of men:

- Pay for dates
- Escort them home
- Take initiative in celebrating special occasions like birthdays
- Dress up for special occasions

Nearly a quarter expected men to carry their bags for them, and half consider gentlemanly gestures like opening doors necessary.

What do men want?
A poll of what 85 men expected of their ladies was carried out by Straits Times Urban news supplement revealed the following:

- 78% ranked looks as an important feature they look out for in their date
- A girlfriend must not stop the man from socialising with his girl friends
- A girlfriend must also enjoy going out with his male friends

What some are saying on their blogs:
- This is Jenna’s Space ”We aren’t expecting very much, but it will be so good if Singapore men are a bit more caring and sensitive.
- SgForums ”Do SG Women expect too much?”
- Steph’s Blog Read this humorous love story by NTU undergraduate Stephanie. She has a modest collection of meaningful stories on love and relationships, some base on true accounts. Check them out using ther ‘Stories by me’ tag.

Where to find books on love and relationships? Check out DDC 306.7 and 646.77 in the General collection of libraries.
