Badoo.com Names Bilbao As The Flirtiest City in Spain

Bilbao named Spain’s flirtiest city: study

 

Beats Zaragoza, Valencia and Oviedo to top Spain’s first “National Flirtation League”; Madrid and Barcelona tie for 6th place.

 

Badoo.com analyses 12m flirtations in largest ever study of online flirting

 

Bilbao is also flirtier than Paris, London or New York

 

Bilbao is today named “Spain’s flirtiest city” by the compilers of the largest ever study of online flirting. 

 

Zaragoza ranks 2nd, Valencia 3rd and Oviedo 4th in Spain’s first “National Flirtation League”, compiled by Badoo.com (www.badoo.com), the world’s largest Social Network for meeting new people, with over 111 million users chatting and flirting in 180 countries across the world.


Badoo’s flirtation league ranks Spanish cities by the number of online chats/flirtations initiated per month by the average Badoo user in each city. The results for Spain are part of a larger global study, analysing 12 million flirtatious contacts made during a month on Badoo.

 

“This is a proud day for Bilbao”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Director of Marketing. “Our findings appear to correlate perfectly with the thoughts of world famous Nightclub franchise, Pacha. They plan to opens their latest club in Bilbao on April 6th and have invited famous American flirt, Paris Hilton to its opening night.”

 

The average Badoo user in Bilbao initiates 22.9 online flirtations per month. This is slightly more than in Zaragoza (22.0) or Valencia (21.8), in second and third place, but far more than in Madrid and Barcelona (21.3) Spain’s largest cities which tied for 6th place. 

 

Badoo users in Bilbao, what’s more, also out-flirt those in Nice (22.3), France’s flirtiest city; Bonn (22.7), Germany’s flirtiest city; and Porto (22.2),

Portugal’s flirtiest.

 

Indeed, they also out-flirt those in Paris (20.7), despite the latter’s global reputation for romance and London (19.0), the UK’s flirtiest city. They almost match those in Rome (23.7) Italy’s flirtiest city.

 

Badoo users in all of Spain’s 10 flirtiest cites are more flirtatious than their counterparts in, for example, Amsterdam (18.4); Istanbul (16.6); Buenos Aires (16.3); New York (16.1) or Rio de Janeiro (12.4).

 

“This proves that Spanish flirters can compete at an international level”, says Lloyd Price.

 

The average number of flirtations initiated per month by Badoo users in Spain’s 10 flirtiest cities is 21.4. The average in Spanish cities overall is 20.7. 

 

Bilbao is the only Spanish city to rank among the 20 flirtiest cities in the world. It ranks 14th globally, while Zaragoza ranks 21st, Valencia ranks 26th and Madrid and Barcelona rank equal 31st in the world.

Spain is the country where Badoo first became popular. Badoo users in even the flirtiest Spanish cities, however, cannot match their counterparts in Athens, which was recently named by Badoo as the world’s flirtiest city. The average Badoo user in Athens initiates 25.7 flirtations per month.
