Written by It seems like flirty texts are not just a pastime of the British – Aussie men are at it too, with 40% of women saying they have caught their partners engaging in flirty texts or emails, after becoming suspicious and checking their mobile phones.
According to the Telstra survey 40% of women surveyed admitted that they had snooped through a partners phone to check for saucy messages to other women.
It looks like a quarter of them had good reason to be suspicious too – as they found their partner had been ‘flirtexting’ (that’s flirty texting to you and me) with someone via text or emails on their phone.
It’s not just men though as 6.7% of women surveyed said that they had been caught out by their partners doing the exact same thing!
1, 250 people were surveyed for the study and some other interesting findings include: One in five people have accidently sent a flirty text to the wrong person, and more women than men are likely to engage in flirty texts with their partner.
In the 18-39 age group more than half the people who were surveyed said that they thought it was ok to ask someone out for the first time via a text message. Not exactly romantic…
Texting is also being used to end romance for some, with 14% of people surveyed in New South Wales having ended a relationship via the dreaded text message.
I wonder what the results would be for us Brits… I’d like to think they’d be slightly more positive but I have serious doubts!
