on reddit, I was reading that Australia has the best combination of high percentage of hot women and high percentage of... well... sluts

I prefer "sex positive", but whatever. btw, preferring that term isn't some stupid PC thing. It will get you laid more... because women don't like being called sluts. So don't do it... even with just guys. It's stupid. Grow up.

sluts


but anyways... is that true?

poly has a good mix of people from different countries, STRAYANS, and well-traveled individuals... you would know more than I would

We have sluts which is, of course, a good thing.

We have hot women which is, of course, a good thing.

We have hot woman sluts which is, of course, a very good thing.

I don't know if our proportions of sluts, hot women and hot sluts is higher or lower than the proportions in any other country.

This is, of course, a thoroughly useless answer.

that's okay

i appreciate the conversation

I have discovered that Australian women under 40 are not shy about letting people know when they want to have sex.



Unfortunately, I've only been there post-marriage (honeymoon was the 1st time).

[Sava]

[Alexander's Horse]

He was making about letting immigrants into Australia.

Until recently Australia's population was growing at nearly 500,000 per year - natural increase plus immigration - a staggering figure when you consider Australia's population is only 23 million - it was 7 million in WW2 and only 13 million in 1975.

•In the Treasury’s latest Intergenerational report, released in February 2010, Australia’s population was predicted to reach 35.9 million people by 2050, an increase of 64 per cent on the 2010 figure of 22 million. This prediction is based on Australia taking 180,000 migrants a year from 2012, two-thirds of the present intake of 277,700. Treasury based its forecast on an average annual rate of 1.2 per cent over the next 40 years, slightly lower than the 1.4 per cent growth rate experienced over the previous 40 years and significantly less than the current rate of 2 per cent .
•In 2007–08 migrants came to Australia from more than 200 countries. The major contributors to our migrant intake were: China (28,700 people), NZ (27,400 People), UK (24,000 people) and India (23,900 people).
•Skilled visas accounted for 68 per cent of the 2007-08 migration program, and family reunion 31 per cent. This is the reverse to the mid 1990s, when two-thirds of non-humanitarian visas were family visas (56,700) and a third were skilled visas (24,100). The ratio changed in 1997-98, gradually becoming dominated by skilled migration. See Skills Shortages.
•The number of people that Australia accepts under its humanitarian program, including refugees and boat people, make up less than 5 per cent of our immigration intake. During 2008-09, 13,507 humanitarian visas were granted. The refugees mostly came from China, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, Burma, Bangladesh and Egypt.

That is quite a respectable record I'd say. Somehow we've managed to maintain social cohesion and political stability.

The figures above are based on conservative assumptions - we are still growing at quite a clip even with a conservative government.

Populate or perish is still the mantra.

I have discovered that Australian women under 40 are not shy about letting people know when they want to have sex.

That, in general, seems true.

However I thought European, British and North American girls weren't shy about it either. But I have not lived in any other country so can't compare.

[Alexander's Horse]

When they start scratching their crotch you know.

[Sava]

I suppose the whole different country thing makes it seem a bit more exciting. Maybe there isn't much of a difference. I wouldn't know either.

[Alexander's Horse]

they are all the same, I speak as one who has travelled widely shall we say
