Undergrads don't love the idea of dating

Facebook "confession" pages, which allow users to share secrets anonymously, may have helped lovelorn students express their romantic intentions to their objects of affection, but the majority of undergraduates do not want to date, a survey has found. Some 400 undergraduates aged between 19 and 25 from SMU, NUS, NTU and SIM were asked what was most important to them, and romance was not anywhere on top of their minds. The survey found that six in 10 respondents are not in a relationship. Of these, seven in 10 have no plans to actively pursue one. "Finding a lifelong partner" ranked last when they were asked about their immediate concerns. "Socialising" and "keeping fit" rounded out the bottom three. Instead, "getting good grades", "earning money" and "finding a job" took first, second and third place among their priorities. Experts attribute this trend to the stress of the local education system.
