Harvard graduate, Christian Rudder, founded a dating website that he used to survey members about sex. Specifically, he wanted to know who would have sex on the first date. Forget the pseudo-intellectual talk about religion and politics, he claims that thousands simply responded to some very odd, but successfully revealing questions. It may not be exact science but it is something to keep in the “How can I get that smoking babe to sleep with me?” back pocket.

Do You Like Beer?

The next time you are at a bar with your buds and a gaggle of women belly up be sure and strike up a conversation. It is one thing to put a lot of time, money and effort into getting laid but asking a simple question could very well surpass all that unnecessary foreplay. Rudder first asked women if they liked the taste of beer. The next question was, “Would you sleep with someone on the first date?” The ones that did not like beer were in about the 40% range of saying yes. Not bad odds, but how many of you have had one night stands lately? The other women, those that said they liked the taste of beer, came in at over 60%. This is a good number for getting her home and horizontal after only a few bucks on a couple of brewskies.

Compatibility

Well, you both may have had a night of skin slapping, fluid flying fun but when she starts yapping about her favorite reality show or how much money her old boyfriend made compatibility may not be in the cards. Therefore, Rudder also conjured up these three questions and found that those who answered yes to all of them would be the happier couple:

1. Wouldn’t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?
2. Do you like horror movies?
3. Have you ever traveled around another country alone?

A Few Others

Rudder continued his insane questions and found some interesting stats about men. Believe it or not, all men will not sleep with a woman on the first date. However, those that answered these questions (listed with the odds) seemed to be a sure thing:

1. In a certain light, wouldn’t nuclear war be exciting? 82%
2. Assuming you were in the position to do so, would you launch nuclear weapons under any circumstances? 82%
3. Could you imagine yourself killing someone? 82%

He also found that women that spent a lot of time on Twitter were more apt to have shorter relationships; those that described themselves as ‘curvy’ had more self confidence; and if a women enjoys exercise she is more capable of reaching orgasm.

Sex on the first date could be difficult to achieve. Hopefully this informal line of questioning will help you get a little closer to a casual bang now and again.
