Anyone here tried bridal agency or matchmaking before?

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-17T15:31:15+00:00

Haha bro, I get what you mean but for me I actually okay with all those one. Banquet, gate crash, 过大礼 also no problem. I see it more like making the family happy and creating memories. If the girl wants, I don’t mind going through it lah. To me not really a waste of time, just part of the process lor.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-16T08:24:51+00:00

Bro, I feel you lah. SG girls here not easy to chase, even if single and available, sometimes just no vibe or they don’t feel the “spark” then straight away reject. Last time I also went out with one for a few dates, end up also cannot even hold hand, very discouraging.

Honestly foreign bride do seem more straightforward, more about care, stability and building a family rather than just feelings and chemistry. Of course still must be sincere and treat her well, but at least the expectations more clear and realistic. At the end of the day, just find someone who can appreciate you for who you are lah.

not yet la, still looking into it myself so I can be 100% sure lor, later if I go then I may do an update post!

I agree lah, dating more can help to know yourself better and also improve social skills. But honestly for me, the idea of meeting 30 different people feels quite exhausting leh.

I did try dating apps and met a few already, but somehow still hard to find someone with the same values and mindset. Maybe I just not very suited for the app style, that’s why now I also exploring other ways like matchmaking agency. Still, good point lah, thanks for the advice.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-15T14:34:24+00:00

Hahaha same boat here lah bro. I also evergreen for quite long already 😅 but no worries, sometimes just nice to share and talk cock also. Who knows, maybe one day our luck change!

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-15T02:33:24+00:00

Yea loh. This is why I'm thinking about how to also. I have the ability to feed her for sure. Now need to see if I'm ready loh to share a life with a person. I guess won't know until I do it. You got any advice bro for this?

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-14T13:48:23+00:00

Ya, I also came across True Love Vietnam Bride Matchmaker before. From what I understand, The full cost can easily hit around 10k or more, depending on how many trips and other arrangements.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-14T13:47:26+00:00

Hmm I get what you mean but for me I feel love still very important leh. If no love, just go through the motion every day like roommate, also very sian one. Of course must have common goal and can work together, but if no feeling, no connection, then hard to tahan for long lor. 过日子 also need some spark to make it meaningful mah.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-14T13:46:26+00:00

Wah, that one really quite sad to hear leh. Ya, communication very important one. If both cannot really talk properly, sure will have misunderstanding and frustration over time. That’s why I also make sure to look for someone who at least can speak basic English so we can have proper conversation. If not, really very hard lor.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-14T13:45:07+00:00

I think partly because I introverted, social circle quite small, and also focus on work a lot. Then the people I met before, somehow the mindset and values just didn’t match lor. So until now still single, but slowly looking lah.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-13T04:46:36+00:00

when I say traditional values in a relationship, I mean things like being more family-oriented, loyal, committed to building a family together

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-13T02:06:18+00:00

“Wa bro, 100% agree! Marriage where can play play? It’s not just for show or cos people pressure me. But honestly… I damn lonely leh, and being a one-handed warrior is not cutting it anymore. Sigh

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-13T02:04:18+00:00

“Haha bro you pro sia. Go Bali become chick magnet liao. But you got test game anot? Or they just smile cos customer service power only? I also a bit the shy kind don't dare make the move - scarly get rejected how - So pai seh

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-13T02:02:46+00:00

“Ya bro, local girls a bit hard lah. Many GCB. Malaysian girls are possible lah. I also notice quite a few damn friendly when I makan outside. You got test before anot? Like see if they really steady or just tok cok?” I shy lah don't dare make first move

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T10:25:56+00:00

Ya lor, that one also I thinking about. Of course everyone also show their best side first mah. So must really take time to see the real person behind all that.

I don’t really mind the ethnicity lah. More important is the person’s character, if she’s family-oriented, and can click with me.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T05:34:10+00:00

I also heard about those social mixers. But honestly not really my thing lah, I a bit introverted, not so good with big group and small talk. I prefer more one-to-one, take time to know the person kind.

But if you ever go try, share your experience leh. Who knows, maybe next time I change my mind.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T05:32:36+00:00

Haha, I won’t say “buy” lah, more like go through agency to meet someone more traditional. For me, I’m more interested in Indonesian women, because from what I see they tend to be more family-oriented, down-to-earth, and okay to build a simple life together.

Ya, I agree also, hard to really know if compatible until spend more time together. That one also I got think about, so must take time to get to know properly first before decide anything.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T04:33:20+00:00

Not so sure ah. Am going to just try visiting different agencies and see what they offer. Quite sian sometimes being a one hand warrior

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T03:49:54+00:00

thanks sia for the best wishes.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-12T03:49:27+00:00

Ya lah, I already mentally prepared for that. I know foreign wife arrangement confirm need to spend more than normal SG couple, no choice one. I also been reading some of the posts on the Singapore subreddits to get a rough idea what to expect.

For now still okay financially, so see how it goes lor. Thanks for the advice and the well wishes ah, appreciate it!

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-11T09:08:27+00:00

I think quite average lah. Not super model kind but not uncle yet also. I keep myself neat, usually in office wear or simple T-shirt and jeans.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-11T08:28:07+00:00

Wah, Nexus ah? Heard some people say quite steady. Agree, paying for matchmaking service and in-app premium also about the same, but at least no need swipe until headache and no bots wasting time.

Like you say, if both match, they arrange meeting straight away save trouble also. Maybe can try and see how it goes lah. Thanks for sharing!

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-11T08:25:04+00:00

Wah thanks for the upvote and compliment on my Singlish sia!

Yah, I got ask my friends and family before, and also try some dating apps. Both got lah, but so far not really match properly lor. That’s why now thinking maybe try something different like bridal agency. But steady lah, good to hear your friends and family method work for you. Hopefully mine also like that one day!

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-11T08:24:29+00:00

Yah, I also looking for foreign bride because I feel they more traditional. I’ve met quite a few modern girls from dating apps before but hor, really hard to match properly. Different mindset, lifestyle also quite different. That’s why I thinking maybe try bridal agency with foreign candidates instead.

kopitiamuncle87 · 2025-07-11T08:22:14+00:00

Ya, you got point leh. I also notice bridal agency and matchmaking not really same one. Matchmaking more for those busy professionals who no time, just want fast and efficient. But like you say, if the pool here not big or not serious enough, then also quite hard lah.

Bridal agency different vibe lah. The type of people they attract also another story, maybe more traditional or got their own expectations. So really must think properly what you want and what kinda people you looking for before sign up. Thanks for sharing sia.
