Top 10 reasons why Wednesdays are the best night to get laid
In a recent article for the New York Times, statistician Nate Silver hooked up with OkCupid’s Nate Rudder to determine which day of the week is best to meet someone at a bar. They came up with something called the “sexual availability index,” and found that you’re most likely to get laid on a Wednesday night. So here are our best guess at why Wednesday’s the winner…
- The amateur drinkers and out-of-towners all stay home.
- There’s no pressure to do brunch the next day (or even stay over) when it’s a school night.
- Mid-week happy hour specials.
- People’s standards are lower because a Wednesday one-night-stand doesn’t count in the same way.
- You could go home…but do you really need to watch another episode of Mythbusters?
- Say you’re on a so-so blind date on a Saturday night — there’s so much more you could be doing. But on a Wednesday? Why not just go with the flow…
- People aren’t expecting to get laid like they are on a Saturday night, so everyone’s more relaxed.
- No line for the unisex bathroom, heh.
- Because you read that article in the New York Times too and now just the word “Wednesday” has a Pavlovian effect on your genitals.
- Hello, it’s called Hump Day!
