We asked 287 Shanghai residents, both locals and laowai, how they feel about the past, the future, the city and the world in our Great Shanghai Survey. Last week we shared the results of what your friends and fellow Shanghairen had to say about 2011 and 2012. Here we take a look at the personal preferences of our respondents (local results in red; laowai in blue). We have a feeling some of you are holding out on the true extent of your Bieber fever:

I wonder what the gender breakdown of the one night stand question is. Mostly guys?

This would be a very interesting and funny survey on the feelings and foibles of people in Shanghai, if it were interesting and funny.

Disagree Julie. From the reputation of both local and laowai girl, I'd say girls are just as up for it as guys. But, as we learned in history lessons, the answers don't tell the facts. i.e. we can learn one thing from this: "what do people say when asked in a survey (secret or not) about ONS?" ... I haven't ever heard of any single person in this city that wouldn't do it given the chance with a (hot) partner.
