Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covern Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber.
I'm sitting here with James Harkin, Andy Murray, and Anna Chazinski,
and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with you, Chazinski.
My fact is that only 28% of people know when they're being flirted with.
I never know.
Ever.
Do you think you think people are flirting or they aren't with you?
Aren't.
They aren't.
Yeah, so this is the interesting thing.
People never assume.
So they've done this study recently, which looked at 52 heterosexual women, 52 heterosexual men,
and they put them in pairs together and made them have a conversation,
and then afterwards, they asked them if they'd flirted with the other person,
and then they asked them if they thought the other person had been flirting with them, and lots of people flirted,
and only 28% of people realized they were doing it, and in women, it was 18%.
