Tips for online dating - apparently the eager beavers live in Yio Chu Kang
According to some data shared by dating app Coffee Meets Bagel on May 1, more than 41 per cent of users who would make the first move live in Yio Chu Kang.
The Yio Chu Kang singles are also into keeping it casual.
No pressure, take it easy.
If you are shy, maybe swipe on the photo of someone from Yio Chu Kang and wait. There's a good chance you'll get a ping from the neighbourhood of "casual daters".
"Yio Chu Kang leads the pack for casual daters even though only 7 per cent of users there are into short-term flings."
But if it's a chio bu from Queenstown or a yan dao from Jalan Kayu who caught your attention, don't be disheartened if your swipe or ping gets swallowed by a black hole.
Coffee Meets Bagel claims those from Jalan Kayu, Queenstown and Radin Mas have the highest tendency to ghost you.
Maybe it's an SMC thing. Who knows?
Coffee Meets Bagel did not know the cause either in sharing this tongue-in-cheek list, which came under the header "Your GRC might be why you're still single".
"At Coffee Meets Bagel, we're always curious about what brings people together, and sometimes that means looking at how where you live shapes how you love," said Coffee Meets Bagel Worldwide CEO Shn Juay.
"We hope this peek into Singapore's dating landscape sparks new conversations about romance, identity and maybe even politics."
If you are the secretive sort and hope nobody finds out about your alter ego flexing that crop top at the gym you have been to only once so far this year, here's a tip for the late-night swiping: go for Jurongites.
"Jurong Central folk are up way past bedtime, sliding into DMs after hours."
But if you're the sort to flex that gym shot regardless of the time of day, then you should stick to the Queenstown folk.
Yes, they ghost others. But they are also listed as "people seeking genuine, long-term love". And they are apparently "gym rats and dog lovers".
How exciting is that? Bet on a Queenstowner and if he or she does not ghost you, then you're in for the long game.
You might have equal chances with someone from Pioneer, which is also listed as the place where the app users are looking for long-term commitment.
The Pioneer singles appear to be foodies and avid travellers. We can't blame them. If you live that far out and have to step out of your home, then you might as well make a trip to get out of the country.
Oops, almost forgot to mention the people of Bukit Gombak. They're listed as bookworms. No other information was given about them.
