What do Singaporean women want in a guy?
Social status, claimed a recent study by psychology professor Dr Norman Li.
Intelligence, said Dr Lee Wei Ling, director of the National Neuroscience Institute, who ran a straw poll in response to his research.
Her World asked 148 women who their dream guy was, quizzing them on everything from his looks to spending power, and guess what - good cooks and geeks scored.
When it comes to his crowning glory, he sports:
A neat, short and slick style like Ryan Gosling: 69%
A boyish, floppy mop like Zac Efron: 15%
Wavy curls like Johnny Depp: 13%
A shaved head or bald pate like Chris Daughtry and Jason Statham: 3%
Here's how he measures up in height:
1.75-1.8m: 51%
1.7-1.75m: 29%
Above 1.8m: 17%
Under 1.7m: 3
