Holiday Flirt in the Snow

And impressive displays of sporting skill on the slopes are not what it takes to spark the interest of the opposite sex. A perfect hip swing on skis is not what makes hearts beat faster. A relaxed skier or a cheerful beginner, for example, can attract attention and quickly strike up a connection. And that can be all it takes to set the stage for a steamy flirt. It’s all about chemistry, and cheesy pickup lines do nothing for women.

The new ski-holiday flirt may not really offer much hope of a lasting relationship, but a sizzling après-ski flirt is always fun.

Ski instructors are famous for their skills at winning over “ski bunnies”. Anyone hoping for more than an adventure will, however, be disappointed (almost) every time. People probably aren’t looking for a lifelong partner here. That doesn’t mean they don’t flirt with all they’ve got. A flirt doesn’t always have to lead to a future relationship. But even here, there are marked differences between the sexes: women are much more likely to want a longer-lasting relationship, even from a (ski) holiday flirt.

And lastly, the trend for holiday affairs shows no sign of slowing down—even on ski holidays. On holiday, women and men are much more likely to have an affair despite being in a committed relationship. All you can do is keep your fingers crossed that nothing comes to light back home.
