7 Ways Science Will Help You Get Laid
Who needs pick up lines when you've got science?
Being a human is a big, messy, complicated adventure, but beneath our tough exteriors, don't we all just want to be loved? Or at least get a bit of good, old fashioned bonking done.
As a species, we've filled near infinite column inches and minutes of airtime with tips and advice for how to attract a mate, with counsel on everything from buying the perfect bunch of flowers to how to spice things up in the bedroom. There's an awful lot of advice out there, but how do you tell the good from the bad?

Could decoding this complex system really hold the answer to something as complicated as love?
Well, we'll try anything once.
