Turns out a down economy doesn’t affect the confidence level of Greeks at all. Athens been named the world’s most flirtatious city on Thrillist, but Greece as a country was dubbed the most sexually aggressive nation. Unlike most countries on the list, Greece makes the top for a good reason: its citizens being the most sexually active.

Dr. Simon Hardy, author of the journal article, The Greeks, Eroticism and Ourselves told the Telegraph that “the Greeks may have perfected their flirting skills way back in the day during those ultra-sexual symposiums.”

“You know, when they were just talking about philosophy. Obviously, they enjoy using these skills.”

Dr Hardy said that Greeks flirt more than any other people and have more sex than any other people and they basically invented rhetoric, which is pretty handy when trying to turn a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’.

“If you are visiting Greece soon, be on guard, you may get yourself into a sexy situation before you can say, ‘Aristotle’,” he concluded.

Italy came second and Egypt took third place. Egyptians, however, have a long history of harassment towards female tourists. Brazil got fourth place and Colombia Colombia hits the middle. On the downside, its major city, Bogota, topped another not-so-lighthearted list: worst public transportation systems for women in a Reuters survey.

Meanwhile, Spanish females are the world’s most flirtatious online bringing their country on sixth place. India, where men take the idea of the ‘chase’ a little too far, is seventh on the list. France is eighth and Dominican Republic came ninth while Russia got tenth place.
