Belgians outstrip Brits at flirting

25 June 2004

BRUSSELS – When it comes to flirting skills, Belgians rank fourth among 10 European nationalities, it was reported Friday.

Belgium ranked behind Italy, France and Spain in the art of flirting, which a study by GM Daewoo Europe evaluated according to six characteristics: sensitivity, humour, romanticism, tenderness, vigilance and responsiveness.

Each country was given a ‘satisfaction rating’ based on responses from men and women. Italians rated an 89 percent satisfaction score, with French second at 82 percent, followed by Spaniards at 79 percent and Belgians at 72 percent.

The United Kingdom obtained a satisfaction rating of just 40 percent, mainly because of a low 28 percent rating English women gave to their male counterparts.
