Soldiers' guide to flirting abroad

Soldiers get to see all corners of the globe and meet lots of different women, however, flirting with them can be a tricky business unless troops know what signals to give off.

Thankfully, the good people at SimonSeeks.com have come up with a global flirting guide, giving guys an insight into how the local ladies operate and what steps foreign blokes should take to get their attention.

In Brazil, for example, soldiers should go with lots of eye contact, forearm touching and plenty of smiling to get the girl from Ipanema, while in neighbouring Venezuela, chaps flirt with their bodies by way of salsa dancing.

Moving to Europe, those who like Spanish senoritas should look out for lots of fanning, as this is a tell-tale sign that she's interested.

According to a study by Skyscanner, Latin America is full of single ladies, with Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Argentina have the lowest marriage rates in the world.
