They should interview the guy after the date as well. Maybe he also think they can at best be friends. Sometimes we need to take a good look at at ourselves before setting so many criteria

I see what you did there. Spoken like a champ. These days feminism has invaded conventional media as well. Everything is from the girls POV.
It's great to have a list and hold on to the list! Being single is better than to be w someone who doesn't fit the criteria. Keep it up, Sue Ann! Just take the time to know more ppl. Hope you find the right guy :) enjoy your precious singlehood in the meantime!!
She’s so nervous whenever she waits for WJ to respond, she’s already thinking of the next question 😂
I think having a long list of criteria can hold you back from meeting the right person.
Knowing self worth actually helps a lot in dating life
The expectations....
U choose people, people also choose u.
Sometimes, it's necessary to reflect upon oneself in the mirror.
Honestly I think she will have a much better chance in an Ang Mo country. Ang Mo like this kind of looks and ‘character’. Ang Mo also generally taller.

When I went to watch all the Western videos, a lot of them are thinking of finding a wife in Asian countries because their country women have too high standards. They call themselves the passport bros.
But i find it a lil ironic, she wants the guy to be open-minded but when she found out a few traits of the guy she already turned off by it.
Why so Singaporean women like tall guys so much? Like I’m 160 and my husband is 174 he still taller than me when I wear heels that’s good enough. Why must be like 180 187 then satisfied ?

@@jamesmadison3108 Height is the number one filter girls look for in dating apps. Its sexist, but its true and society supports it. As a 180+ man with 30+ bodycount, I can tell you this is the reality. For this reason I am seeking 165 + partners myself, so my kids will have a genetic headstart in life.

@sugarly69 yup I don't disagree. Dating apps have such filters thus women will out height as a requirement right away. I don't use dating apps and met my then gf in real life. Won her over with my own charisma and that's history. :)
Is it me or when he mentioned ai generative, she switched topic? Idk how cut up this is but if I heard ai generative I want to know more like that's so interesting leh (as a guy ah, maybe girls might think differently)
Hey Sue Ann, WJ seems nice. Don't lose hope! I think try to sit back and wait for him to ask you some questions, rather than sending all the questions his way. There are things like shoes that can make a guy seem taller, sometimes the perfect guy for you is just 10cm shorter. Because the 10cm taller guy wants women with other criteria too. All the very best! Dont give up and keep meeting people.
now i know, after watching for 5 mins why she has a difficult time looking for a partner!!!! for sure la, well good luck to the guy anyways!

while the average male height is 167 in asia LOL.
Am I the only one who don't care about height and ambition lol? I'm super nua, after a long day at work the last thing I want is an ambitious guy telling me to hustle more. I don't really get the attraction to tall guys either. To me guys with liberal values, a curious mind, a shiny backbone and loves dogs are always way more attractive. WJ mentions Nietzsche, I'm more of a Camus girl myself, hopefully one day I too can find someone who is into philosophy to go on a date with 😆
asks for 178-180, gets 173. LOL
It’s actually a pretty good match. Moreover, they kinda lookalike. Especially with the Small eyes. 😁
I think you need to learn and understand what is matching principle.

In simple term, her standard is angmoh. Of course, matching with chinese surely failed lor. Anyway, must give her a thumbs up for braving herself in this show. Hope she found her loved one soon! Angmoh love someone like Sue-Ann, a typical asian look with angmoh character. Lol

There's an ample supply of tall, single men in northern China. Unfortunately for her they tend to be quite conservative. But hey everything is a trade off.
Her height criteria is a reason for her being single. Don't know why some Singaporean women have an obsession with having tall partners?
Bruh this WJ is quite a catch.

Walan Wey! Like that cost $2000, siao Liao lah, got such people pay for this kind of simple job, kenna con already…. But good earning in this trade for the match making agency. No need license, no governor bounding, no contract agreement! Better than working in real estate. To get a life partner, just open your mouth ask on the street, go attend conferences, camping or mountain hiking tour, biking tour or backpack tour…u will need a lot of buddies. Gila!… pay $2000.

There is nothing wrong with the girl or the guy. But just that they are not for each other. Not sure is it how this video was made. The guy comes across as geeky, meek and pretty introverted. While Sue-Ann is pretty assertive. I am not a person to judge either of the couple, but I would say Sue -Ann will prefer a person who takes more of the leadership role in the relationship even though I’m not saying she be the submissive one. WJ won’t be the one for her. There is also nothing wrong with WJ, nothing wrong with being geeky or meek or introverted, but when it comes to dating and relationship, pls learn how to juggle the game and hold the reins. Girls are usually more impressed with guys who take the initiative and show the guy/male side in them.
Bruh min height 178-180 and above?..
Wow. The commenters here are harsh. What's with trashing her looks? She's not as bad as some of you make her out to be. Perhaps Singaporean men just can't handle an outspoken, confident lady.

Omg! She expects a Brad Pitt for her standards? Seriously?! There is a reason why she is single while her friends are married.

Height? What as about King Kong or Godzilla 🦒🐘🦣😂??

probably end up with angmoh, no face, but wants this want that, angmoh
Singapore media like to showcase early 40s aunties dating err.
Bossy woman will hv problem. For her look, She is asking for too much. The guy they introduced to her do match in look.
Well, 'where have all the good men gone' is a common trope but... WJ was a good man. Driven, intellectually curious, takes care of his body. I think women should stop bemoaning the shortage of good men because despite good men actually existing, women seem to treat them like shit.
