Yes you can. Walk into an average bar and ask the first single, straight guy you encounter if he would like to come home with you for sex. I’d say there’s an above 80% that he will accept on the spot. If he doesn’t, he probably has a good reason.

I’d grant that an average woman can’t have sex with _anyone_, since some men will simply be rich/famous/attractive enough to be able to discriminate, but the majority of men don’t fall into that category.

I’d take multitasking and manual dexterity.
