According to Mr & Mrs Smith, the world's leading boutique hotel experts on romantic weekends and risqué retreats, this seems to be the case. In all honesty, this came as quite a big surprise to me.
But apparently, they carried out quite a big survey of Australasians (Australians and New Zealanders) and Asians. So this is really interesting.
It claims that Asians are luckier in love. Forty-one% of Asians said there was enough romance in their lives, while only 34% of Australasians shared that sentiment.
Going out for casual drinks is still the activity of choice for the nerve-wracking first date. Interestingly, more Asians than Australasians are open to a sexy hotel stay to check out their potential partners. 22% of Asians chose this over a day at the beach or going to see the latest film.
Another point revealed that Asians take their sexy weekends more seriously than Australasians. According to the survey 45% of Asians had dashed off for a romantic rendezvous four times or more in the past year, while 63% of Australasians had taken only two or less tantric time-outs in that same period.
The only thing that Asian's fell behind their Australasian counterparts was when it came to one-night-stands. Some 41% of Asians had never had a one-night-stand while 72% of Australasians admitted to hooking up with a stranger.
While I do agree that we still lack behind many Western-type societies, I am a little skeptical about the figures. I think it is much higher that 41%. I did a similar survey for a local magazine years ago and it found that up to 65% or respondents actually had a one-night stand.
The underlying message of this survey seems to suggest that Asians are more romantic. But romance is something that is very subjective. How do you tell what appeals across the board because sometimes, couples find romance in ways that does not involve heading out to the beach at night or to a hotel. Moreover, the age group I feel also plays a big part.
Missus Singapore out!
