One of the most difficult fields of scientific research is social behavior. Every year a large number of scientific studies are undertaken to try and understand the human nature better. Some of them come up with conflicting results, other defy common sense and logic, but all of them are immensely entertaining.

Most of the studies are based on the volatile area of relationships, while courtship rituals and dating behavior tend to dominate the scene. So it isn’t surprising that at the University of South Brittany a study was conducted to see how the weather could affect social behavior.

In specific, an attractive 20 year old male approached women in the 18-25 age bracket walking alone down the road and asked for their phone number. The solitication took place on cloudy days and sunny days but not on rainy days. The data collected indicated that the women were more receptive and open to flirtations when it was sunny as compared to when it was cloudy.

So if you are looking to get the phone number of that special girl, just wait till its sunny. Why not give yourself the boost of knowledge from a scientific research project to up your chances of getting that phone number?!
