Sdn dating event – Men looking for a woman – Women looking for a woman. How to get a good man. It is not easy for women to find a good man, and to be.
More men are signing up for dating services, a trend that observers say reflects a growing openness to seeking help in romance. Although specific figures are hard to come by, 10 of the 13 dating agencies accredited by the Social Development Network report a rise in the number of men participating in the dating events they organised over the past five years. Some men say the benefits of dating services include gaining a greater confidence in communicating with women and improved grooming and self-image through workshops and coaching sessions provided by the agencies.
For others, group activities intended to encourage pairing up are themselves part of the draw of such services. While speed- dating events and match-making dinners used to be the mainstay of dating agencies, some of them are branching out to organise activities for a diverse range of interests, such as rock-climbing sessions or leather-crafting workshops, according to industry insiders. Ms Chen Yingying, director of Fabrique Love, an SDNTrust accredited agency, says: “The ratio of men to women approaching dating agencies 10 years ago was probably 30 per cent men to 70 per cent women.
Today, the proportion of men is closer to 40 per cent. Ms Violet Lim, chief executive officer and co-founder of Lunch Actually Group, another SDNTrust-accredited dating agency, says: “When we first began in , there was a stigma against the dating industry as people were not really sure what to expect from dating agencies. She says Lunch Actually is seeing more interest in its services not only from individuals, but also from the corporate world. She adds: “People are now used to outsourcing things.
For instance, when we are going on a trip, we look for a travel agency; when we are looking for a job, we turn to a recruitment agency. This was the case for Mr Samuel Ho, In , the IT executive engaged Dating Moments, a dating agency accredited by Social Development Network, for a package of eight dates, where he was matched with women based on mutual interests and expectations.
