Oz Dating

Although it's seen as a bit politically incorrect these days to say that various nations have dominant and very different attitudes to sex and relationships, the belief still persists. One distinction that journalists often make whenever there's a political sex scandal involving infidelity in Britain or the USA is how such things wouldn't bother the French, who are much more relaxed about such matters. It certainly sounds plausible, but they never seem to cite any statistics backing up this assertion.

They might start to do this now, however, since there are some figures available that strongly confirm this belief. Popular international dating community Zoosk conducted a massive survey with almost 13000 of its members, quizzing them on their attitudes to relationship morality.

In line with the stereotype the French respondents were the least concerned with their leaders' sex lives, with 4 out of 5 singles saying they wouldn't care if a politician were unfaithful. Those in America were far more judgmental, however.

The survey turned up lots of other interesting insights into various national attitudes to infidelity. Some of these confirm old stereotypes, while others contradict them.
