There seems to be a hook-up based culture rather than one of dating.

In the UK, things seem to be a bit more geared towards dating and getting to know the girl before having sex. I’m not saying one night-stands are uncommon in the UK by any stretch, but it seems to be the prevalent way of meeting women as far as I’ve seen in NZ – though I suspect this is more true in Queenstown.

I have a long-term girlfriend and I’m faithful to her. Sometimes I feel in a minority there – it’s like everyone wants to be a player, regardless of relationship status.

This all permeates into the subjects of conversation, and there is much defining judgment of females based on their physical attributes and past behaviour.

There’s a relative lack of responsibility that comes with it (or freedom if you will), and with that all kinds of grey areas where people hop from one conquest to another and someone has to work out where they stand by hearing or seeing who was doing what with who. It seems that amongst all this, a clear behavior emerges for the guys where ‘bros come first’ whatever. And that’s sort of what I mean by Bro Culture.
