Was there any scientific proof to the fact that men feel they will get lucky with a girl if they play romantic songs? Not till psychologists at the South Brittany University got it. The science project involved playing either romantic songs or some neutral music while a guy asked a girl for her phone number.

In the room where the romantic music was playing the guy was able to get the phone number 52 per cent of the time. While in the room where the neutral music played the guy got lucky only 28 per cent of the time. The researchers were led to the conclusion that playing a romantic song in the background would actually double the guys chance of getting romantic with a girl.

Of course this over simplifies matters somewhat. And naturally there would be other factors to consider for the guys. After all even with the music being romantic a huge 48 per cent of them did not have much luck did they? So while you can say that the music lessens the odds of getting romantic it is by no means the only element in play.

It would probably increase the chances of a romantic interlude if the couple already knew each other instead of being total strangers. Also there would be less resistance if both knew they were not part of an experiment. So don’t take it literally but try out this science project instead.
