Singaporean baffled by men who ‘dress sloppily’ on dates: ‘Do you even bother making an effort for your partner?’
SINGAPORE: A local man has triggered a heated online debate after questioning why some men in Singapore put so little effort into how they dress when going out with their girlfriends or wives. In a post on r/asksg, the man said that as a fellow guy, he finds the trend hard to understand. He shared that he has lost count of how often he has seen couples on dates where the woman looks neat and well…
A Singaporean man has sparked an online debate by questioning the minimal effort some men put into their appearance during dates. In a post on the r/asksg subreddit, he expressed confusion over men who dress in slippers, shorts, and oversized T-shirts when going out with their female partners. The man observed numerous instances of women looking well-groomed in dresses or skirts while their male counterparts appeared disheveled, as if they had just come from doing chores.
He claimed to feel sorry for the women, who clearly made an effort while the men seemed unconcerned.
Seeking opinions on the matter, the man asked fellow Singaporeans if they still made an effort to look presentable for their partners after being in relationships. He wondered if men stopped caring about their appearance once they were married or attached. Many Singaporeans replied, agreeing that the trend was irritating. Some believed it was a matter of basic etiquette and respect to match one's attire with their partner's.
Others found it unnecessary to dress up for everyday outings but acknowledged that special occasions called for a more polished look.
However, some people disagreed with the original poster, stating that it was none of his concern. They argued that they and their partners did not care about the men's appearance as long as it was not a formal event. Some even joked about their own appearances, dressing in casual clothing regardless of the setting. The debate highlights differing opinions on the importance of appearance in relationships and whether men's dressing habits should change based on their commitment level.
