i often lament abt the lack of ‘good guys’ in Singapore who are not gay, married (or attached) or dead. A friend commented that the only way to get attached is during school (i’ve grad), through friends or by joining interest groups.

For most of us who have tossed our hat or perhaps books into air, we are only left with friends or interest groups. both means have their limits.

For interest groups, ur base assumption is that you and your ideal half shares the same interest or at least the same passion in something deep enough to commit into a class/group/network. the truth is, we never know. my experiences so far in picking up multitude of things ranging from multiple sports, language, dances still hit 3 walls.
1. the guy to girl ratio is bad. more females ALWAYS.
2. u still get stuck to the group u signed up with until they all dropped out. by then u might have dropped out too.
3. u are too focused on learning what u’ve paid to learn and there’s no real reason/excuse for you to interact. esp with ur packed schedule before and after.

For friends, of course the limit is your own network as well as your friend’s. The good thing is, in one way or another, you will definitely have the ‘networker’ as your friend (at least on fb). there might just be someone out there who may fit the bill but u’ll never know till chance encounters come by. Why do one leave something as important as ur own happiness to chance then?

So, we shld stop lamenting and join the mutual referral network.

how does it work?

*all users have to be single and be physically located within Singapore*
1. as a user, take a simple psychoanalysis test that tries to define key attributes (mix of personality/physical characteristics) of your ideal partner.
2. run through your single friend’s list and their single friends to find a match through both of your active contact list. once a successful match is found, the result is sent to the first degree contact only if a vice-versa match is sourced. i.e. results of your friend(assume J)’s friend matched to you will be sent to J only if there is also a match to J(who is also single) that is also sent to you.
3. now J has a list of friends to refer to you and vice versa of the same length. both of you will have to assess the list and take it from here. you can arrange face-to-face meetup, online introduction etc. The idea is that it has to be mutual where one helps the other in terms of assessing the match, making the connection etc.

feasible? this can be done as an app tapping on social networks or mobile phone contacts. now we juz need to put it to work. =)
