No idea.
Not a local U grad so not enrolled in SDU
But I believe if you want to discontinue as a member you can terminate your membership. -
I don't know about now, but some years back, I had a lady friend enrolled in SDU. Physically, she's a very nice lady in chracter, but on the heavy side. I believe BBW is the term for it.
Here's what she told me:
(1) They're all given regularly updated magazines with profiles of members. From there, you can choose who you wish to meet. It seems that many have very astonishing expectations, like guys stating that they want slim, rich, high-ranking executive type, beautiful women, etc. Perhaps some just join for fun, I don't know.
(2) When you do see someone you like, you can contact the SDU, which will in turn contact the other party for a meeting. The first meeting, I believe, takes place at SDU's facilities.
(3) If both parties agree to meet, then the first meeting is very mechanical. After meeting at SDU's facility, they are brought into a room and given some time where they are expected to chit chat and get to know each other. My friend told me that the atmosphere in the room was rather formal, the reasons for which I've forgotten. Perhaps it was office-like or something, so it felt more like an job interview.
(4) There was another reason why she said it was too formal, but once again I forgot exactly what. I think it had something to do with a maximum time limit for room usage, so both parties had to quickly blush through it and ask direct questions and get to know as much of each other real fast.
(5) If the meeting was successful and they like each other, they are transferred to a dim room next door, which is run by the family planning clinic.. NAY NAY....this paragraph is just a joke.
I could have unintentionally gotten some points incorrect, but I believe the general picture given above is right.....except paragraph (5) which was an intentional joke (sorry, I just couldn't help it - I've had my 2+2 portions of fibre today and thus not feeling so uptight......er.....what about you?).
I don't know if SDU has served its purpose, but its existence through the years may be proof that it does. Ultimately, state-run or not, its just an introduction organisation...the kind I'd like to work for (meet lots of singles, no worries about profit reporting, monthly sales targets, etc). I still think SDU is a good idea though....because in contrast to similar commercial matchmaking companies, it provides an economical means for a targetted group to meet other similar like-minded people.
My lady friend is still single now, just past her mid-30's....and still looking (oh yes, interested parties may leave their details here ). -
It helps to create apportunities for young singles to meet.Originally posted by starblue:do you think what the gov is doing is effective to get young people to tie the knot??

Cannot lah ! Singapore woman so lousy ! Maybe SDU should start to import Vietnam girls then 100% of the knot will be tied ! Hahahh!!!!!!!!
-
Oh then that will defeat the purpose of the SDU, which is to have university graduates marry each other and have children. Btw, i dun agree that Singaporean women are lousy, got lots of good ones around, with great looks to boot too!Originally posted by skyline63:Cannot lah ! Singapore woman so lousy !

ya, so is it effective?

SINGAPORE WOMAN WANT YOUR JOB TO BE AT LEAST SALARY OF $3000 DOLLARS. DRIVE A CAR. HAVE PLENTLY OF MONEY. SHE WANT A MAID AFTER MARRIAGE. GOOD ? How many degree holders out there got the salary of $3000 above per month ? Of course not 100% lah !
Look at the woman of Singapore. When they marry. At least the woman age is 28 years old already. A few years more if cannot give birth. Chance lower and lower. Then lowest already.
Look at tv. The woman 29 years old. Dreaming of his man. When most of the Singapore man prefer woman who is younger like 23 to 25. When they are in the 30. 29 years old woman finding man age of 34 to 35. Most of them are already settle down by then with at least one kid. Or else, for those Leftover Singapore man, either something wrong with their mind or something wrong with their charactor left. Or maybe they are gays or what !
Singapore woman have the thinking of marriage at the age of 28 is alright. But for foriegn woman. 28 years old is call unwanted in their own country or say too old already ! Cannot get a new man ! OLD VEGETABLE LOH !
What make you think that Singapore man think different from foreign man ? -
Effective or not, i believe its up to the individual members themselves. SDU is just a launch pad.. a meeting place.. someplace to find new opportunities.. in terms of getting started, i think it not a bad idea.. but how would one measure its effectiveness? Perhaps that's a more fitting question to address..

According to SDU Annual Report 2003, the number of marriages between SDU members have steadily climbed "from 2,789 in 1999 to 4,050 in 2003".
Note: The figures seem to indicate the effectiveness of SDU, but they may also simply be due to a larger membership pool. -
Mid - 30s and still looking ? SDU ? Come on ! It's already old age at that point. Reduce chance of getting birth. Beauty reduce close to dust. Of course will not get it ! It's the end of the it ! Unless he is willing to take divorce man who is in 40. Same age man at that age who is successful is rare ! And one question for her. Can she marry in months ? I am pretty sure she expect one year of dating to try out. So year pass one by one. She get older and chance get slimmer every year.
If I am a man in 35. Successful. Why can't I get one from VIETNAM ! Younger and fun. It's keep me in my youth. Not those some age as me ! Keep me old and to the grave ! -

Tis man is a divorcee who has been divorced for many years and about 47 years old and he is always out on the prey for young gals in SDU and how does he do it? He participates in many dancing classes and he is like an extra help in the dancing class as he has been to so many and so called can know alot of steps to the various dances
and recently he got to know this young unmarried gal at the SDU and this gal just latched onto him like a leech because she thot that he had alot of assets no knowing that he does not have many assets and basically is a b as tard in character...
He has had many galfrens after his divorce and he had cohabited with at least two of his ex galfrens and not only that , he is old already and yet can say that he expects his wife to bring a drink for him when he comes home and is basically an MCP although he is not capable in earning money
I got bad impression of SDU people because basically some of them though not all are hard up cases..the guys are desperate and only want long haired gals, fair etc capable not knowing that they are
1. old
2. facially challenged
3. does not have a good career
some of the gals alre also like that, expect the men to be rich, own a car and these SDU people are very "cliquish" dun like to mix with other people and only laugh at their own stupid jokes
all this i know personally because i was invited to some functions and they really behave like that, think the world of themselves
if you forumers want to know more can tell you all more -
