Feisty Spanish women top flirting league table
MADRID - Step aside sleek Parisiennes, fun-loving
Britons and sultry Italians: Spanish women are the world's greatest
flirts, according to an online study released by a dating website
on Tuesday.
Spanish women are the most likely to "make the first move" with a
man, according to the social network Badoo.com, which studied
"flirtation behaviour" based on 90 million romantic contacts made
on its site in a month.
The resulting "World Flirtation League" ranked 20 countries by the
number of contacts with a man initiated by the women in each
country.
Forget Spain's conservative Catholic traditions: Spanish women
topped the table by a comfortable stretch, making an average of
1.33 contacts per month.
Just behind came Poland, the Dominican Republic, Italy and
Argentina - with Latin countries, speaking either Spanish, Italian,
or Portuguese, holding eight of the top 10 places.
Canada was the highest-ranking English-speaking country, in ninth
place, and the only non-Catholic country in the top 10.
Germany ranked 12th in the table, Britain 14th, France 17th and the
United States a lowly second from last, according to Badoo, which
claims some 80 million registered users in Europe, Latin America
and elsewhere.
The Spanish figure was almost double that for British women - who
made 0.78 "moves" towards men on the site - France, where the
figure was 0.69, or the United States at 0.63.
Overall, Badoo found that men were still far more likely than women
to make the first move, both in Spain and elsewhere.
"But we wanted to know whether women in some countries were more
likely to take the lead than those in others - and what this said
about those societies," the site's marketing director Lloyd Price
said in a statement.
And if Spanish women are the world's biggest flirts, the study
authors suggested, then their menfolk also win an honorary title:
that of "the world's luckiest" men.
