Today I was looking up some stats for an Aussie Adult Store which is interested in advertising on this blog. I wanted to know how many of my visitors were Australian and it turns out only 12% are Australian which was a little lower than I thought.
One thing I learnt is that during this current month, this blog has had visitors from 166 different countries.
The most common countries was the usual suspects, USA, Canada, UK but surprisingly, China was in the top 10.
It is great to see visitors from all sorts of places, 6 visitors from Saudi Arabia (don’t get caught guys), 22 visitors from Iraq, 10 visitors from Syria (stay safe guys), all the Pacific Islands were covered as well as South East Asia. I think it is awesome that there are visitors not only from all over the world but also from all different religious backgrounds (I can’t tell the religion of a visitor but you know what I mean) – 326 visitors from India (Hindu), 20 from Egypt (Sunni Muslim majority) and 11 from Iran (Shia Muslim majority) and 1 person from Nepal (Buddhist).
Kind of a boring blog post but I thought it was interesting.
I really don’t get it guys. Today I went for a swim around lunch time and as usual I was the only guy wearing a speedo. There was a lot of lap swimmers, enough that I had to share a lane which I haven’t had to do for a while.
However, in the change room guys are walking around naked.
I don’t understand it, no speedos but walking around the change room naked. In Australia it seems the opposite where it would be odd not to wear speedos while swimming laps but it would be weird to see that much nudity in a change room.
If anyone is at the pool tomorrow morning, I’ll be the only guy wearing a speedo. I’ll wear an AussieBum speedo so feel free to say g’day.
Also, I’m still playing with some design ideas but thought I’d go back to this old layout. What do you guys think? I can’t post as many pics per post but it is easier scrolling.
Often I am asked how the ‘speedo culture’ is in Australia.
It is OK, at the pool everyone can wear speedos and nobody would look twice. If you were a lifeguard or part of the surf life saving club, nobody would look twice. I’m pretty sure ALL of my friends (who give the impression of being 100% str8) will own a pair of speedos to wear under their boardshorts. If I go for a swim in the surf in the morning nobody would care.
So with that in mind – I suppose the ‘speedo culture’ is acceptable.
BUT – there is always a but.
But, there is no way I’d just wear them if my mates were having a Sunday afternoon on the beach having a few drinks and playing beach cricket. I had a BBQ yesterday arvo at a mates place and he has a pool in his building complex – none of the guys would ever strip down to a speedo and have a dip in the pool. Saying that…. the same guys after a few drinks would strip naked and go for a swim.
Perhaps the Aussie ‘speedo culture’ is ironic. I’m sure if I hung out with a bunch of gay guys it would be different.
I would LOVE to be at the beach on a Saturday arvo and a game of beach volleyball starts up and all my mates are in speedos…..
