How to Tell If She or He Will Have Sex on a First Date

Other than surreptitiously peeking into your date's wallet or purse to see if there's a pack of condoms, are there any reliable ways to determine if your date will have sex with you? Besides actually asking, that is, which can be awkward while you're munching on your garlic bread appetizer.

It turns out that there is a way, that there is a question you can ask, and for this special day, Valentine's Day, I'm going to reveal that question:

Do you like the taste of beer?

According to okCupid's dating research, whether or not somebody likes the taste of beer is the single best predictor of whether they will have sex on a first date. The question works for both men and women: People who like beer are 60% more likely to have sex on a first date than non-beer drinkers.

Happy Valentine's Day.
