And the winner is “you have beautiful lips”

A new survey just released shows that praising a woman on her lips is the best way to enter her heart. I hope the single African guys who need a little help in the romance department might add this to their pick up lines.

The site (badoo) which conducted the survey has 87 million registered users. The survey analyzed the success rates of opening lines from nearly 200,000 online flirtations in 11 languages.

The sites members were asked to use one of 12 different ice-breakers, each complimenting a woman on a characteristic of her body or appearance. Success was determined by 1) prompting any response and 2) launching a conversation.

And the winner is … “You have beautiful lips.”

Even though the beautiful lips compliment was successful across all countries, some compliments did better in some countries than others. For instance, for

  • American, Australian and Brazilian women: Tell her how beautifully she dresses.
  • Spaniards: Compliment her hair.
  • Germans and Canadians: Tell her her skin is perfect
  • If she’s Dutch or Portuguese, concentrate on the ears. According to the survey, they liked: “You have beautiful ears.”
  • Sweden – – – “You have a beautiful figure”
  • Poland: It’s all about the arms.  Just say “You have beautiful arms”

African women were not represented in the survey. In any case, if you’re not sure what the woman will appreciate most, just stick to the lips; it works for all of them. It will surely work for the African woman.

If you want to graciously share your personal experience with African women, the space below is yours. Go ahead.[ad#Adsense-200by200sq]
