first date

OkCupid — the best place to find casual sex since Craigslist was taken over by murders — knows what you want out of dating: a chance to bone.

So the site researched their data to figure out the best question to ask someone to find out if they would be willing to have sex on a first date.

Only one question on their list had a "a meaningful correlation" for both women and men.  That magic inquiry: "Do you like the taste of beer?"  ("Yes" means you have a shot at love-making, "no" means you're with a prude.)

But they limited their list of questions to only "simple" questions that are "easy to bring up."  Otherwise, I'm sure there would be a few others that could serve as guarantees that your date would put out.  Like these:

• Do you like the taste of 30 beers?
• Do you like the taste of vodka when you drink it straight out of the bottle?
• Do you like the taste of beer with roofies in it?

Either way, you've now learned a valuable lesson: When someone asks you if you like the taste of beer, they want to screw you.

Online Schools recently released an infographic on online dating.  Among its many interesting insights is the statistic above.

You see, I used to think that online dating was for socially inept losers, but like everything else on the Internet, I just knew there had to be a devious underbelly.

Turns out, online, the universal language isn't love: It's hating condoms.

Which leads me to believe their universal motto is probably "Who gives a rat's ass?  I already have herpes!"
