A survey commissioned by Bacardi® Limón™ Flavored Rum reveals the ins and outs of dating and flirtation behaviors, party attitudes and relationship tips. The brand has recently launched their fun and flirty “Where Will It Go?” campaign (which seems to be similar to the Carlsberg‘s one) and was interested in discovering the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors of modern day courting. In addition, it has joined with Brody “The Luv Coach” to give her expert opinion on the findings. 1,003 men and women, ages 21-34, were surveyed nationwide.

According to the recent study, the top five cities in the United States for finding love are Denver, Houston, New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis. According to the survey, the sexiest and best looking people in the United States can be found in Los Angeles, New York City, Dallas, Phoenix, and Miami.

38% of men believe the best place to find a date is at a bar or club, while 44% of women believe that the best way to find a date is through a friend. According to the survey the most important factors for selecting a bar, nightclub or lounge for a night out were the venue’s atmosphere and music.

A mere 26% of men and 15% of women use pick up lines when they approach a potential dating partner. Half of the respondents feel that being yourself and having an honest conversation with a potential dating partner is the best approach. However, over 80% of those who do use pick up lines believe that they work.

Women are more likely to be interested in older, wiser and wealthier men while men are more likely to be attracted to younger women who have no strings attached. Women seem to be more focused and concerned with inner beauty when choosing a potential mate. The majority of women in the survey believe that personality is the most attractive element in the opposite sex while men tend to believe that facial appearance and physique are the most appealing traits.

When asked how long they typically wait before hooking up with their date, half of women responded that two months is the appropriate amount of time while half of men say anywhere between two drinks and two dates. Men are also significantly more likely to believe in one night stands than women. However, about half of the men who believe in one night stands have not had one in the last 12 months.
