Marcus Tan & Darrelle Ng 14 Feb 2024 06:47PM (Updated: 14 Feb 2024 07:00PM) Bookmark Bookmark Share WhatsApp Telegram Facebook Twitter Email LinkedIn SINGAPORE: Dating agencies in Singapore have been seeing a steady increase in demand for their services as more singles seek professional help to find their other half.
Agencies attributed the rise in demand to more accepting attitudes towards matchmaking services, as well as people pursuing a more curated and reliable approach to meeting “the one”.
Contributing to the surge in clientele is a surprising demographic – those in their early 20s.
One agency has seen a 30 per cent jump in total sign-ups and inquiries over the past two years, with many new members from as young as 21 years old.
Ms Sharon Ng, country lead of GaiGai, the offline platform of local dating app Paktor, said the shift in demographics is an unexpected trend and a “drastic” change.
“Back then, our youngest clientele were aged between 25 to 27.Since last year, we have seen an increase in clients from ages 21 to 24,” she said.“I even asked them: ‘You’re still pretty young.Have you tried online dating and why are you here?’”.
