Americans are more likely to kiss on a first date than Europeans.
The majority of Americans (52%), Australians (58%) and Canadians (54%) say they kiss on a first date. The majority of Europeans, on the hand other, do not. Only 29% of Germans, 37% of Danes, 47% of Swedes, 32% of the French and 42% of Italians say they do so.
Americans have liberal views about public displays of affection. 95% of Americans say kissing in public is fine, while 5% say they prefer others keep kissing a more private activity. Surprisingly, Italians, who are well known for their romantic displays, are slightly more conservative than Americans with 10% of Italians preferring amorous couples kiss in private.
Kissers worldwide agree that bad breath is the biggest turn-off. 59% of kissers around the world (60% in U.S.) say bad breath is the worst offense when it comes to kissing. Other turn-offs around the globe include: a wet kiss, too much tongue, and a kiss that is too short.
A kiss hello? This French tradition is gaining popularity in the United States. America is the land of the handshake or a hug as a greeting, but a whopping 55% of Americans say they now use a kiss as a greeting. 95% of the French say they greet others with a kiss.
Hello, Goodbye. Which kiss is more important? The French stand alone with their preference for a hello kiss (84%). The majority of kissers in every other country surveyed, including 64% of Americans, say a goodbye kiss is more important than a kiss hello.
The votes are in and the most romantic Hollywood kiss, according to Americans, was between Rachael McAdams and Ryan Gosling in "The Notebook."
The Zoosk Kissing Survey was conducted online by Zoosk in June 2012 in the U.S, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the U.K. The survey garnered a total of 13,332 responses from Zooskers around the world.
