Your GRC Might Be Why You’re Still Single in Singapore

As Singapore gears up for the 2025 General Election, Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) decided to explore something just as personal as politics: dating. And our findings reveal something unexpected — your group representation constituency (GRC) might be influencing your love life more than you think. 

Using anonymised user data, CMB took a deep dive into dating behaviours across different GRCs and SMCs to uncover how Singaporeans swipe, chat, and ghost based on where they live. The results are a playful yet revealing look at how neighbourhoods shape romantic habits — from first moves to flaking out. 

“At CMB, we’re always curious about what brings people together—and sometimes that means looking at how where you live shapes how you love,” said Shn Juay, Chief Executive Officer at Coffee Meets Bagel Worldwide. “We hope this peek into Singapore’s dating landscape sparks new conversations—about romance, identity, and maybe even politics.” 

These insights reflect CMB’s ongoing mission to foster authentic connections while engaging users with timely, culturally relevant stories. Whether you’re looking for love or just curious about your neighbourhood’s dating energy, here’s what we found: 

  • Most likely to make the first move?

Yio Chu Kang tops the list, with 41.48% of users kicking off chats. 

  • Most likely to ghost you?

Watch out for matches from Jalan Kayu, Queenstown, and Radin Mas. 

  • Late-night chat champs?

Jurong Central folks are up way past bedtime, sliding into DMs after hours. 

  • On commitment: Pioneer and Queenstown are filled with people seeking genuine, long-term love.
  • Keeping it casual: Yio Chu Kang leads the pack for casual daters, though even then, only 7% are into short-term flings. (We’re still the leading app for serious daters, after all.)

Seeking the highest odds of a match?

Head to Queenstown, Yio Chu Kang, or Radin Mas. When it comes to dating beyond your backyard, Yio Chu Kang daters are the most adventurous, with only 0.22% sticking to their own constituency.

On the flip side, Bishan-Toa Payoh residents tend to keep things close to home, showing the highest preference for dating within their neighbourhood. 

Your hobbies say a lot about your neighbourhood. 

Queenstown: Gym rats and dog lovers unite. 

Bukit Gombak: Bookworms, this is your people. 

Pioneer: The foodie-traveller capital of SG. 


CMB is the dating app for serious relationships. Over 92% of the CMB community is looking for a committed relationship, and 96% say they intend to go on real dates with matches.

CMB has been named Best for Real Dates by Mashable, and over half of CMB daters say their first dates often lead to second dates. CMB is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play Store.
