The issue of Singapore men marrying foreign brides from our neighbouring countries has sparked off exchanges in this forum and Straits Times' forum.
The rights and wrongs aside, there seems to be a general consensus that Singapore girls are smarter than the foreign brides. The Singapore girls who write to the forum will claim 'as a matter of truth' that they are 'smarter'.
I'm puzzled. Is there anything to support the claim that Singapore girls are indeed smarter than their foreign counterpart ? Where is the evidence? A NUS degree ? A UOB Lady Card ?
Tell me why.
If we are talking abt IQ, then there is no doubt that our SG girls are smarter than the ones from neighbouring countries.
EQ-wise, not really... esp when it comes to relationships. Some (not all) are getting too egoistic for their own good. It's just so hard to get a 'feminine' girl these days. Call me MCP, but if you can't even accept the fact that most guys prefer feminine girls to the know-it-alls, you can jolly well stay smart, confident and SINGLE while grumbling with your frequent complaint that "guys can't live with the pace that the ladies are progressing"...
Are local gals smarter? You decide...
