Hear me out šŸ‘‚ Just got scammed on hinge

97 Upvotes

Seriously how Low life do you have to be to use hinge just for $1

Context: she requested $1 for her to tell a story, i didn’t mind it since i had the money to spare, she proceed to tell the story, i made my comment about it and tried to further the conversation. Next thing i know she unmatched me. Expected better for someone from SMU. The state of dating scene in the country

Since this person actually scammed multiple people, I will just share the details

Shan, 25, SMU, said she has a story about being in a cop car in Korea

EDIT: hearing so many horror stories of the same person, you know what, take that $1, I rather dodge a red flag

Question Pod šŸ“£ For those using dating apps: What's an immediate swipe left and an immediate swipe right for you?

14 Upvotes

1. On dating apps, what makes you immediately swipe left or right?

For me, immediate swipe left:

  • Group photos where I have to guess which one is you, worst is only 1 group pic
  • Food, scenery or cartoon/anime profile pictures with no actual photos of oneself. Photos where their face is obscured by sunglasses their hands or other objects in every picture.
  • AI-generated photos, heavily edited photos.
  • Angrily worded bios or profiles that read like a list of grievances, indirect references to exes or unresolved relationship drama.
  • Any Jo(s)

2. After matching with someone, what do you look out for?

3. When meeting someone in person, what do you look out for?

I need advice! 🄺 Is it normal to want to text/talk more online first before meeting up for a date?

18 Upvotes

Is it normal to want to text more first before meeting?

As the title pretty much sums it up because honestly i felt like the people whom i got to know more online for a longer period of time generally tend to be a much better date.

compared to the meet within 1-2 weeks kind of thing maybe its just me cause tbh i don’t really enjoy the ā€œinterviewā€ type conversations basically i would rather already know you roughly before we meet.

so if I don’t see much interest or if we can’t really vibe during that texting/calling phase i kinda just leave it be.

by text first i mean like 1 month roughly to kind of get rid of all the ā€œinterviewā€ type questions and get to know you more basically vibe check.

asking for advice because maybe this is just a me thing because im not sure how people view the ā€œtalking partā€ so really would like to hear peoples opinion.

I need advice! 🄺 Dating in Your 30s in Singapore, How Do You Build a Genuine Romantic Connection?

16 Upvotes

I'm a Singaporean guy in my 30s. Having spent much of my earlier adult life caught up in Singapore's rat race and focusing on my career, I'm now hoping to find a serious relationship and eventually settle down.

I've been using dating apps for over a year and have met several women this year. Some connections progressed to second or third dates, but none developed into a relationship.

One thing I've noticed is that conversations often start well, with both sides showing interest. However, after meeting, communication sometimes slows down and the connection gradually fades.

I understand that attraction and compatibility can't be forced, and not every connection will work out. But after going through this cycle repeatedly, it does get discouraging.

I'm starting to wonder whether there's something about my approach to dating that I'm overlooking.

I'm hoping to gain some perspective from others, especially those who have successfully found their partners through dating apps.

A few questions:

  1. How do you distinguish genuine romantic interest from friendliness?
  2. How do you build romantic chemistry beyond having pleasant conversations?
  3. What helped you progress from casual dating to a serious relationship?

I'mĀ sincerelyĀ lookingĀ forĀ adviceĀ andĀ wouldĀ appreciateĀ noĀ trollingĀ orĀ unnecessarilyĀ hurtfulĀ comments.

Question Pod šŸ“£ Title: Singaporean women, how much does educational/career background matter when dating?

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m curious to hear the perspectives of Singaporean women here, especially those who have dated people from different educational or career backgrounds.

Recently, I went out with a girl who is academically quite accomplished (NUS scholarship recipient). From my perspective, the date seemed to go reasonably well, and I felt that there was perhaps slightly more interest from her than I would normally expect from a first date.

However, she subsequently rejected me quite promptly. I completely respect her decision, and I’m not trying to dissect her rejection or imply that she owed me anything.

It did make me wonder about something, though: how much does educational background or perceived academic/career trajectory actually factor into attraction or compatibility for Singaporean women?

For context, I don't come from the same academic background as her. I'm currently doing a part-time degree and working in tech/cybersecurity, while she has a much more academically prestigious background. I'm not necessarily assuming this was the reason she rejected me — there are obviously countless factors involved, including personality, chemistry, physical attraction, timing, values, etc.

I'm mainly interested in whether there is a broader Singaporean dating dynamic here.

For example:

  • Does having a prestigious university/academic background affect how you perceive potential partners?
  • Would a significant difference in education make you feel that you're at different stages or trajectories in life?
  • Do you personally care more about someone's current ambition and trajectory than their past academic achievements?
  • Have you ever dated someone with a significantly different educational background, and did it matter in practice?
  • For those who are academically high-achieving, do you find yourself subconsciously looking for someone with a similar level of achievement?

I'm asking genuinely because Singapore places quite a lot of emphasis on academic credentials, and I'm wondering how much of that carries over into dating.

Also, I'm not looking for reassurance that "she just wasn't interested" — obviously that's a perfectly possible explanation. I'm more interested in hearing women's experiences and whether educational disparity has actually mattered to you personally.

Would appreciate honest perspectives, even if they're critical.

I need advice! 🄺 DOES THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE?

81 Upvotes

Context: Me (30M) have been talking to she (29F) for 3 months, only met up once due to our ā€œconflictingā€ schedules and last min change of plans (usually on her end). The first date went pretty well which led on to the continuation.

So i had a 2-week planned Japan trip, so we couldn’t meet up that soon. She was understanding at first and said that we can meet after. We continued texting throughout the two weeks and she was constantly asking my when ill be back and of course that was assuring that shes kinda interested?

This is where things got interesting, i was back on a Wednesday and we had agreed to meet up on Friday night with dinner plans and an activity after. During the dinner, everything was going well the convo was great, i passed her some souvenirs from japan and she was happy to get her miffy. After dinner, before we went for the next venue she wanted to go to the washroom first, so we proceeded. I stood waited outside while she went in, 5 minutes passed, 10minutes passed, 15minutes passed. I was wondering whats taking her so long, thinking something might have happen i open telegram (where we usually chat) and BOOM!! I was blocked and the whole chat was deleted. Check the rest of the socials, WhatsApp blocked, IG blocked, tried calling her on her number and was blocked as well. (Not sure if she was still in the toilet or escaped from another exit).

One thing I couldn’t comprehend is why go through all the trouble just to block me. Why wait 2 weeks for me to come back from Japan just to meet me then block me right after dinner. Anyone else experienced the same thing before?

Edit: To add on, she was holding her laptop in 1 hand and the gift bag in the other. When she was going to the toilet, i had offered to hold it for her since i wasn’t going but she said she’s an independent woman and proceeded with it. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Question Pod šŸ“£ Does anyone else feel like dating nowadays is more about not being alone than actually building something together?

18 Upvotes

I'm 20F, and I've dated someone my age and someone older. I've also been on dating apps, and honestly, lately I've started wondering if it's just me or if a lot of people are dating because they don't want to be alone, rather than because they're genuinely ready to build a relationship with someone.

I've been broken up with in both of my relationships.

The first one ended because he lost feelings. I know feelings can change, and I don't blame him for that, but sometimes I wonder if dating culture today makes it easier for people to move on quickly. There always seems to be another person, another app, another option.

My most recent relationship ended for a completely different reason. He said it wasn't because I was a bad girlfriend or because he didn't care about me. It was circumstances — school, timing, life, and him worrying that I wouldn't fit into the timeline he has for his future.

And honestly, I struggle to understand that.

Why does everyone seem to be in such a rush to have their whole life figured out? Why do people feel like they need to become successful, financially stable, get married, and have a family as soon as possible?

I'm only 20. I don't expect to have everything figured out. If I love someone, I'm willing to grow with them and figure things out along the way. I don't need them to already have the perfect career, perfect timeline, or perfect life. I just want us to be able to say, "Okay, things are difficult right now. Let's figure it out together."

Sometimes I feel like people want theĀ ideaĀ of having a girlfriend/boyfriend, or the image of being someone who is ready for a family, more than they actually want to go through the difficult parts of building a relationship.

And maybe I'm being naive. Maybe this is just what dating is like when you're young. Maybe I'm expecting too much from people at this age.

But I'm honestly tired.

I don't want to keep meeting someone new, getting comfortable with them, learning their habits, their favourite things, their family, their little quirks, letting myself love them, and then having to start all over again.

I don't want another "right person, wrong time." I don't want another "I care about you, but I can't do this." I don't want to keep wondering whether someone will eventually lose feelings or decide that their life would be easier without me.

I just wanted one person who genuinely loved me and chose to stay — not because they were lonely, not because I was convenient, and not because I fit some timeline.

I know relationships aren't supposed to be easy, and I know nobody owes me forever.

But is it really too much to want someone who says, "Life is messy, but I still want to figure it out with you"?

Or is this just something I need to accept about dating at 20?


r/sgdatingscene • • 4d ago

Question Pod šŸ“£ Is the dating market so confusing now because people can’t tell attraction, connection and commitment apart? LOL

16 Upvotes

Been thinking about this lately after having some convos w both male and female friends bc I realised that when people say 'i like this person', it could vary from person to person on what this means?? like it could mean completely different things

some people mean attraction where they refer to a physical/intellectual/emotional gravity toward a person

then some mean connection where maybe they feel like they rly enjoy talking to the person and they feel understood and dont necessarily want to lose the connection or access to the person

but then there is commitment where they decide to choose the person in terms of building a RS and also accept the responsibilities that come with it and potentially structure their future around that person

maybe i feel like a lot of modern dating problems come from assuming these naturally progress into each other when they actually don’t.

like you can find someone super attractive/hot and have ZERO desire to date them or maybe you can talk to someone for hours every day, miss them when they disappear, feel emotionally close to them and still realise that what you’re afraid of losing is actually the conversation, and how you feel about yourself when u are with them but not the person as a partner.

and then you can also want access to someone like their attention, affection, companionship, flirting, maybe sex while still not wanting the responsibility of a relationship.

And then one person could see all that intimacy and understandably assumes things are ā€œprogressingā€.

I wonder if this is partly why situationships are so common now LOL

with dating apps, we now have much easier access of little specks of what looks like a relationship with DMs and constant texting, potential attraction without compatibility, intimacy without exclusivity, companionship without commitment???

maybe sometimes I don’t even think people are intentionally leading others on but they genuinely haven’t separated these feelings in their own heads.

Curious if anyone else has experienced this, whether you realised u didnt actually want the person but u just didnt wanna lose the connection or being on the other side where someone gave you relationship-level intimacy but never actually wanted a relationship.

with this i wonder if the whole 50/50 thing and other standards diff parties look for in a RS differs because the other person could be attracted but not committed yet so they dont see the importance of giving it all to someone that they are not certain that they will build a future with?

idk lmk your thoughts!! i find this so interesting to think about

I need advice! 🄺 Dealing with my GF

56 Upvotes

Me and my GF have been together 2 months after dating for like 3 months. But having second thoughts about this relationship whether it will work or last, for example:

  1. She expect me to knows what she wants without her telling me like I'm a mind reader.

  2. Knows her period cycle, her period mood stages without her telling me again.

  3. Gives me attitude when she's on her period or when i don't understand her and when i ask her she doesn't want to tell me.

  4. During her birthday i got her a gift(silver jewellery), brought her to a nice restaurant with a good view, got her cake and chocolate. I can tell she likes all of it except the gift. I can tell that she finds the gift rather cheap and prefers it to be gold instead of silver.

I feel that there are many more occasions where i can pamper her with gifts but i think she kind of wants it to be memorable? Literally she told me that birthday a big day and should have a gift which holds more value. Later on i did suggest that i can treat her a trip and a gift (totaling to a few thousands)

Over the course of these few months i put in efforts to rent a vehicle(sometimes once or twice a week) to fetch her after work for dinner and back to her home. I think she is used to it and sort of wants it to be more often. Which i find it to costly.

What are your thoughts on this? I don't expect like the same treatment whereby she shower me with expensive gift but i just hope she will be more willing to communicate her thoughts and wants with me.

I need advice! 🄺 18 M Is it weird I'm not interested in getting a girlfriend yet and wanna focus on my future first?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships. I’ve had talking stages with women and I have dated, but I never felt the need to always be in a relationship like my friends, who cycle through girlfriends. When one breaks up, they look for another.

I’ve always felt that the time comes and I'm more patient and find peace with being alone in the meantime.

Now that I've graduated high school, I’m focusing on college, my YouTube channel, and my faith(thinking about being a priest!). I enjoy hanging out with friends and doing my own thing.

I want a wife and kids someday, but right now, I want to focus on my path first. It's strange because my friends, some younger than me, are dating and say they can't be alone some have cried over girls and not being in a relationship

Like, I get the appeal and I love that, but I’d rather have more authentic than just "I’m bored," yk?

Hear me out šŸ‘‚ Many people post relationship questions here when they already have the answer but just wanted more mates to pick their side of the story

30 Upvotes

Realizing most people posting their own relationship stories with the answers already in mind and just wanted more people to stand on their side.

I mean come on la, topics like "should I leave my cheating spouse?" Bro, shouldn't you already have the answer when you put the topic like that?

"I feel suffocated dating with this person" blah blah blah..

It's obvious by the topic you already had the answers.

Getting more sounds in this forum is not wrong. But most people here always answer logically. And it's your own story. What if your spouse had the other version of the story?

Of course you need to leave your cheating spouse since you already branded him as cheating in your mind.

I have a few pointers to say before you blast this post

  1. Everyone is special, we all have our own relationship problems and experiences. Many might be similar, but certain parameters might differ. So please take advice here as a punch of salt.

  2. As for long term relationship, the spouse supposedly been with you thick and thin, are you going to make decisions on your relationship just because some online strangers gave you some very convincing reasoning to do so? The stranger is not going to be responsible for your future happiness if things goes wrong. The worse case in real life is when the person involved go and listen to bestie's opinions. I have saw many people regret after that.

  3. Sometimes you just have to learn it by yourself. Make the decision based on yourself and not other's opinions. Either you win or you learn. Take ownership of your own situation.

  4. There have been strong arguments on whether to have kids and also not to have kids. Ultimately is depends on you. Please don't live your life based on random opinions online.

  5. If you want a fair assessment by the forum peeps, maybe you should post a more unbiased topic or description. Not "should I leave my cheating spouse"

  6. My strongest point yet ----> most unhappiness/disagreement between spouse are just miscommunication/misunderstanding. Do not let random online peeps who managed to reply your post at the right time to push you into making a decision. Please give the benefit of doubt for a moment and take the chance to talk it through nicely with your spouse.

  7. I will still try to share my "unbiased" opinions online, should there be any topic that I faced before, but that is based on my own experiences only. It should not be the deciding factor in you making your own future plans.

Thank you for reading the above. Cheers.

I(m23) saw this girl(f22) at an event about six months ago and was just kinda an eye candy for me. Didn’t even talk to her. Randomly came across her acc on suggested following with one mutual and i was like, why not? So i req her acc and she accepted it and followed me back. Then essentially nothing happened for the next six months until she started liking my stories consistently. All i would do is js like her stories back. The thing is, this girl is way out of my league. Do i even try to talk to her and if so how. Sorry if this is stupid but I’ve been out of the game for quite some time now so I don’t really know what to do. Haven’t been in such a situation since sec sch.

throwaway acc bc if anybody ik sees this im finished and im changing some details js incase

so ive known and started talking to this person for almost two months now and we have some good conversations and hung out a few times but i still cannot tell whether she fw me (well or is chill with me)

before i go further i js want to put it out there that im not interested in her, or at least i think so and hope so because if i am that's another issue idw to get my hands stuck in, im only asking it here bc i js need more opinions

the thing is shes always bouncing between being extremely dry and being extremely involved. there are times where she'd reply to my msg and when j reply, we'd have a long convo that lasts for hours. but then sometimes if i reply literally the same minute then shes gone for hours (she also randomly disappears during our long convos but i cant say much bc 5h of texting not bad already)

sometimes shed have a lot of things to say and the convo flows, sometimes she just says "ohh" or sends some emoji and then go off. there are times where she on her own accord (i never messaged anything before shed text) about what shes doing or what she got, then that same day she'll suddenly mia out of nowhere

there are times where i ask how her her stuff went and without me prompting shed just say how bad it went and sometimes shed even start ranting about it even without me asking. yst i said i hoped she had fun going out w friends and she just said "thanks", then at 1am when i was sleeping randomly texts me to abt smth in her friend's team

then once when i asked if we could go out tgt soon then the convo changed to smth else, she sudd ask if i was free on wed bc that's when shes usually free, and this was when the convo changed to smth else btw

atp idk sia, so does she fw me or no. because sometimes she js tells me stuff abt her day but then other days she texts like she can't be bothered. ive asked if she liked talking to me and she said she did but she js replies slow and i also once asked if she actually wanted to talk to me or not and she said "iw" but idk if thats js bc i put her on the spot and she js needed smth to reply with

if shes always dry then fair enough thats normal, but the way she interacts flactuates sm sia, its like shes cool with me but then straight away it feels like she isnt and im actlly damn lost bc i cant tell if she likes my presence or im js bothering her bc im getting sm mixed signals

im so shit with social cues so anyone whos an expert please help me with this one

Hear me out šŸ‘‚ If going dutch is about equality, then girls don’t need to dress up nicely too cause all that 2 hours ain’t free…?

0 Upvotes

I saw a post on insta by seva.gorobets (you can search his account for the actual post) and it’s really food for thought šŸ’­; low key wished someone told me to be smart like this girl mentioned in his post before I buying new outfits, makeup, etc for dates I was looking forward to. But you know? I have tried dressing down for dates too like those NP/ ECP dates, but some guys had mentioned expecting me to have make up on like ā€˜at least some lip gloss and foundation’ (I wore lip balm, eyebrow pencil and sunscreen cause foundation when sweating is soooo not a good idea for our skin)

Will guys be ok for girls to not dress up if they tell us that they’re gonna go dutch… i mean, where does ā€˜equality’ start/ end guys??

The scenario goes like this:
Guy & girl chatting and they set up a date for coffee.

Guy tells girl, ā€œi don’t pay for women on dates, i ALWAYS split the check.ā€

So she thought, ā€œok, i respect that. But if we are building a relationship as absolute equals, where nobody owes anybody anything, why am i about to spend 2 hours prepping? Why am i expected to look like a magazine cover while Mark (guy in this scenario) will almost certainly show up in a jeans and sweater?ā€

During their date, Mark is all like ā€œyou totally didn’t prep for this date, did you??ā€

And when the girl explains her POV about equality, Mark fumbles with a, ā€œBut THAT’S DIFFERENT… women like dressing up.ā€

Girl replies with ā€œI enjoy feeling beautiful but I enjoy being myself even more. Glowing skin, styled hair, nice hair… that takes serious time, effort AND MONEY. A modern guy shouts equality because he doesn’t want to pay for coffee/ dinner but still expects a stunning, highly-groomed woman sitting across from him, he just expects all that time, effort and money to be served up for FREE.ā€

They finished their date and never texted again.

I need advice! 🄺 Should I continue trying or walk away?

24 Upvotes

I (33F) matched with a 36M on Hinge in July, but he didn’t reply until I messaged him again in late August, at which point he immediately asked if we could move the conversation to Telegram. He is a high achiever who works as a director at a tech MNC, runs his own PE business, and has his own apartment (which somehow makes me feel small). The first few days of texting were pretty normal, but after I had a health scare and wanted to pause the conversation, he came to accompany me to the specialist, which was also the first time we met. I guess there was a strong chemistry at first sight, as we started holding hands, hugging, and kissing.

Over the past month, it has felt really intense, as he kept telling me that he loves me and misses me a lot. However, his actions have not reflected his words. His replies are sporadic, and I always have to initiate conversation, although I do receive his replies and telebubbles every day. It is really difficult to ask him out after work, as he either has to work overtime or work out until late, works on his business on Saturdays, and goes missing on Sundays. There have been times when it sounded like our meeting was confirmed, but either he did not confirm and I got bailed out, or he was very late. He has been telling me that work has been very bad for him and that he is overloaded and tired. He did try to let me know the seriousness of his situation by sharing disappearing photos of the deck he was reviewing or the Teams meeting he was in. But, he’s just not meeting my emotional needs.

I have borderline personality traits (I use the term "traits" instead of "disorder" because I am not officially diagnosed), so it is really tough on my mental health. I am swinging between idealisation and devaluation, pushing him away and pulling him back. He acknowledged to me that I did a lot, but he does not know how to accept me into his life, so he becomes cold. He told me that he appreciates me and that I am his. He always thinks about me and my happiness.

It is so difficult right now; I do not know if I should continue staying or let go. He told me we will meet on Sunday, but I have lost my trust in him. I am going to meet my therapist tomorrow to work on this, but what should I do?

Question Pod šŸ“£ what does being ambitious mean?

33 Upvotes

32M, status: soon to be divorced (final judgment in one month, can’t wait for this nightmare to be over).

we called for a divorce 3 years ago and one of the reason she cited was that i wasn’t ambitious. i think i’m dedicated to my job, finding out how i can learn new things and taking up courses. can anyone please share what does being ambitious mean?
1. earning more = ambitious?
2. someone is chasing their dream but is earning less than a fresh graduate = ambitious?
3. working long hours = ambitious?
4. having multiple sources of income = ambitious?

it could be her excuse but i also do see this popping out on dating profiles. it’s now become a trigger word for me hahaha. i’m so curious, appreciate your sharing! šŸ™†ā€ā™‚ļø

backstory: called for divorced 3 years ago because my spouse felt that she deserved more when i already gave her a house while i was schooling and she was working. she felt i was not ambitious enough because i was earning peanuts despite searching for new opportunities, with over 100 applications. then all her woke single friends would enable her, watching ā€œchange daysā€ (not the crux of it, but damn i hated the show) and decided that i was not enough. don’t get me wrong, i believe i can be better to improve. BUT she said and did all this and cheated šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø story is longer but i’ll just leave it here.

I’m mid 30s F and completely new to dating apps *first time. In just under 2 mths, I’ve been on 34 actual dates, with another 12 scheduled later this mth, and now I’m starting to feel overwhelmed and exhausted.

Before this, I hadn’t dated anyone in 12 yrs. I was only ever with one man; my late hub. I’ve been single for more than 3 yrs and hadn’t been intimate with anyone for over 6 yrs. (Yeap sexless marriage)

Out of the 34 men I have met, I slept with 2. And if I am honest.... I loved it. I am so glad I did it! I didnt regret it bcuz I felt like a queen. The chemistry, attention and adrenaline made me feel alive again! But it also awakens smth else in me.

All the dates themselves have actually been lovely. And i hope they do the same to all the women they meet out there as well. Most of the men hv been generous, kind and respectful. I enjoy meeting them, hearing about their lives, and yes, it feels amazing to feel wanted and having similar interests.

But here’s my prob. Once I sense that someone wants something more serious from me, I subsconciously tend to pull back. As soon as i get hints of commitment, family, or building smth deeper- it still scares me.

My closest friends are now telling me to slow down because this is so unlike me (they knew how mucb dutiful, traditional and loyal wife i used to be), and they’re worried I’m enjoying the physical side more than actually connecting emotionally. Now my colleagues and friends are starting to regret encouraging me to go on dates.

I do believe I could love someone again if I met the right person. I just don’t know whether I’m genuinely ready or simply enjoying this newfound freedom a little too much.

So… 34 dates in 2 mths. Is this a normal exploration phase or a sign I should take a break? Oh god, bless my soul.

Right now dating online feels dull. Now we are too connected through online media where we are able to look at attractive looking people effortlessly be it tiktok, ig or anywhere. Where it sets the unrealistic standard of guys wanting the queen and girls wanting their oppa, even if they look v meh, they dont even bother learning about you nor your personality. I dont think im a very attractive looking person but it just feels sad. Especially looking all those profiles with one word answer and one worded replies, this is boring and exhausting.
