- Western and non-western r/s
- Voluntary or non-voluntary r/s
- Western cultures who have a predominantly urban setting ensures voluntary interaction with large number of people, may of whom are first acquaintances
- Western cultures therefore appear to be characterised by high degree of choice in romantic r/s and a greater pool of potential r/s
- Non-western cultures have fewer urban centres therefore people have less choice about whom they interact with, interactions with strangers are rare and r/s are frequently tied to other factors such as family or economic resources
