where x is the number of girls for whose phone numbers you ask...

where K is the percentage of the same-age dating population left over after you weed out the emotionally disturbed, chronically chemically-addled, intellectually unsatisfying, personality-challenged, and essentially unavailable persons...

where y is the percentage of people who maintain their attractiveness in the harsh light of day, away from free-flowing drinks and neon beer lights...

where z represents the rate of people who will either give you a crap number, screen your call out, or never answer your message...

where b represents the likelihood that, all things being equal, either of you will continue to show interest at the time of this follow-up call...

where 2 is considered to be the random-weirdness-that-can-fuck-anything-up-where-dating-is-concerned factor...

Given all of this, the odds of successfully attaining a date based on a phone number attained at a bar can be expressed by the following equation:

x * K * y * (1 - z) * b^2 / 2

Assuming K to be .85, figuring y to be around .5 (although it may be considerably higher if you drink heavily, or slightly lower if you don't drink at all), estimating z to be around .15, and putting b at around a two out of three chance...

Going by those numbers, you need to ask for about twelve numbers for every date you expect to get.
