7 Ways Science Will Help You Get Laid

4. Calculating The Chance Of Getting Laid From Speed Dating

Perhaps a lot of scientists are having trouble getting dates, but there are a surprising amount of studies looking into the statistics of dating.

One such study is "From dating to mating and relating: Predictors of initial and long-term outcomes of speed-dating in a community sample" from European Journal of Personality which followed the luck and love of 382 participants following a bit of good, old fashioned speed dating, tracking the short and long term outcomes.

As it turns out, if you meet 20 people while speed dating, chances are you'll have sex with one of them, so if you're really going to boil the dating game down to numbers, more is definitely, er, more.
