In a shocking exposé that rocked the digital dating scene, sources confirm that Singaporean women have finally perfected the art of the 'Ghosting-to-Bait-and-Switch' manoeuvre. Analysts suggest the technique—which involves matching only to subtly gauge a suitor’s potential for future financial utility before vanishing—is now taught in advanced modules at all major junior colleges.

"Sibei *chui*, man. I thought she was legit, we talked about *laksa* for three hours," lamented one heartbroken tech executive, clearly still processing the trauma. "Then, suddenly, my messages just go 'seen' faster than the speed of light. Now I see her profile again, but she’s only accepting guys with ‘verified investment portfolios’."

The trend has forced men to upgrade their dating app bios to include mandatory screenshots of their credit limits. Experts predict the next evolution will involve mandatory 3-month probationary periods, complete with performance reviews, before the first date is even considered. “You think you can just *jalan* your way into a good time, ah? Think again, lah,” commented one amused female user anonymously.
