TikToker says social conditioning is why some Singaporean men come across as ‘boring’


SINGAPORE: A local male TikToker commented recently on the observation of the poor dating scene in Singapore as well as the complaint he has often heard that Singaporean guys are boring.

“I feel like we are past this conversation about the sterility of Singapore. Like, we all know Singapore is small and competitive, and that’s why we tend to have more one-dimensional mindsets,” said the young man behind an account called @sgproverbs in a video he posted on July 12, adding that this is just the environment everyone grew up in.

But he specifically focused on an aspect related to men, saying that in Singapore, “guys are just very afraid to be who they are.” 

While women often say that they would like guys who can just be themselves, the post author explained that this is easier said than done, as perhaps men find it hard to be themselves because they may not even know who they are due to the social conditioning they’re exposed to in Singapore. 

He admitted that the same goes for women in Singapore as well, though he can’t speak to their experience as he’s male.
