So in order to increase your odds, you have to ask out tons of people? But that would mean you'd have to ask out tons of people you have absolutely no interest in nor are attracted to...at least it would be for me. It's rare I'm attracted to anyone at all and even if I am, I don't know whether it's real or for some overly superficial reason.

When I have more time, I'm going to go back and reread the article more closely I think.
