One of my friends Alex commented on an article I wrote called Mathematical Flagging. In it, I stated, “In theory, it’s easier to get the flag from a country with more citizens than from a country with fewer citizens.”
“No way!” he said. ”Just because there are more Chinese, Indonesians, and Pakistanis doesn’t mean they’re easier to hook up with.” I agree: the numbers are deceiving.
Most Promiscuous Country in the World: The United Kingdom
According to the November 30, 2008 article on timesonline.co.uk, Britain on top in casual sex league, the United Kingdom is the Most Promiscuous Country in the world. Journalist, Roger Waite, found that, “Britain’s ranking was ascribed to factors such as the decline of religious scruples about extramarital sex, the growth of equal pay and equal rights for women and a highly sexualized popular culture.” To me, that doesn’t sound like a British phenomenon; sounds more like a Western society phenomenon, and I’m all for it!
My Foreigner-in-a-foreign-land theory suggests that it’s easier to hook up with a foreigner who’s traveling like you because you’re both “foreigners in a foreign land”— i.e., have something in common from the locals. Depending on which country you’re in, my “foreigner” theory sometimes doesn’t apply: 1) your level of exoticness (e.g. an Andorran in the United States), and 2) the country’s level of promiscuity that you’re in. If, for example, you’re in India, chances are you’ll hook up with another foreigner at an expat bar or hostel because Indians aren’t well-known for being promiscuous. If you’re in the United Kingdom, the Most Promiscuous Country on Earth says Dr. David Schmitt and his team who conducted the study, you’ll have an equal or better shot at hooking up with a local than only relying on talent from your hostel or expat hangouts.
