Shanghai’s Top Bachelors and Bachelorettes

Greg Yam

Age: Fresh in the 30s

Job: Head of Shopper & Customer Marketing at Beiersdorf AG

From: I’m a pure-bred Hong Kong Chinese, so Hong Kong.

Hidden talents: I love art and always sketch when I get the chance. Anything else… you’ll have to find out yourself.

Turn-ons: An intelligent woman who can adapt to any situations is definitely a big turn-on.

Turn-offs: A woman who is not willing to accept other cultures and their differences, as well as huge mood swings, an absolute no go!  

What he looks for in a woman: I like brunettes, someone with a sense of humour, honest, open, natural, easy-going like myself, is willing to take a risk, knows what she wants in her mind and is ready to start a relationship. That's not too much to ask for right?

Best way into his heart: Definitely a woman who appreciates me and understands why I do certain things for her and does not take me for granted for the nice things I do.

Brenna Vega

Age: 26

Job: High fashion buyer at The Villa

Horoscope: Leo/Rat

From: San Diego, USA

How she describes herself: I am a modern day hippie, super chill, but with a wild streak. I love a good party!

What she looks for in a man: Someone who has integrity foremost, I also like scruffy-looking men with a sense of humour who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Turn ons: I really like good manners; a guy who doesn’t eat with a knife and fork is an immediate turn off. A guy into live music is a turn on too.

Worst pick up line she’s ever received: Recently a guy said he could figure out my name in only three guesses.

Deal breaker: Someone who is cheap!

Her thoughts on the dating scene: Not so good; I think it’s hard for Western girls in Shanghai since a lot of men find it so easy to hook up with local women.

Why she is currently single: I was in a serious relationship, but ended it in May due to distance. However, I am now ready to bounce back!
