SEATTLE – Looking to find a mate, guys? Your chances are better if you're packing an iPhone, according to the results of a new study published by PC World.

The British-based online phone store Phones 4u reportedly surveyed 1500 women. Fifty-four percent said they were more likely to date a man if he owns an iPhone. One respondent reportedly said "If he has an iPhone then he's obviously intelligent and well-off."

Thirty-seven percent reportedly said that owning an iPhone makes a man seem more reliable, meaning to them that a second date would be likely.

The study also found that men who use the iPhone tend to be better groomed, have a good sense of humor and can communicate better.

Is that why the ladies are so attracted to me, all this time I thought it was the AXE body spray I douse my-self with.

I think it's more attractive when they're trying to use the iPad as a phone and put it to their ear. Especially when I realize how important they are, since they always have to be on their phone. I also love a man who smashes into other vehicles while he's busy texting to family and friends and work because he is more important than anyone else on the road. Oh, and let's not forget all the time he spends ignoring me and using his phone. Yeah, that is SUCH A TURN ON and SO SEXY! Stupid story. Did they study the real reaction people give other people who keep a phone strapped to their face? It's called disgust. It's not attraction. Believe me.

Who cares? The minute a "man" pulls out any kind of phone and has to talk on it in public areas where there's a lot of people (i.e., elevators, grocery stores, restaurants), and talks so loudly the entire block can hear your conversation, or while driving, I'd drop him QUICK! Same thing for a woman. No consideration for others means I don't want anything to do with them.

This is not a real news story. Phones 4u completely denies ever conducting the study and says that a marketing firm called "Sticky Eyes" did the survey. If you do a news.google.com search for Phones 4u, you'll see evidence that points to this story being complete BS.

The headlines to this story should read: " Study: Girls more attracted to men with iPhones " Go ahead, walk around and flash your iPhone. Nothing like a bunch of 16 yr old girls chasing you around. Oh, and while your at it, make sure your driving your 1994 Lowered with coffee can exhaust Acura Integra, thats just icing on the cake.

If a girl is gonna decide who she's attracted to based on the type of phone they have, you can have her!

Wow! So I guess that means that my son's 12-year-old best friend has a pretty good chance of landing himself a date. NICE! "'Cause we're living in a material world, and I am a material girl..."

KING 5: This really comes across as marketing rather than journalism. If you are going to summarize a scientific study or a law case, it is helpful if you cite your sources. "...a new study published by PC World" is not a citation.

A new survey suggest that women are more prone to a second date if you have vast amount of spendable income. According to a recent study in the US. Women stat that they were more inclined to accept a second date if their date had over a 100K job and assets over 500K. Further research also discovered that the more one made, the higher his chances were haveing a date and personal looks, age and grooming habits were not as much of a deciding factor.The research also stated that with income over 2 million a year, women were even less concerned if their dates were married or not. Being a sports figure with an annual income of 100 million reported 100% on landing a date, maybe up to 13 a year plus being married with children. These results could lead to the finding that women in general are intriged with wealth.

"If he has an iPhone then he's obviously intelligent and well-off." I call BS on this. 1) any idiot with a paypal account can buy a used iPhone off of ebay or craigslist for around 100, so that doesn't necessarily mean he's well off. 2) having an iPhone doesn't automatically mean a person is intelligent. my roommate has an iPhone. I played with it out of pure interest and got bored within an hour......its like having a laptop that makes phone calls. BORING.

( Looking to find a mate, guys? Your chances are better if you're packing an iPhone ) Good sales pitch.....Someone deserves a promotion for coming up with this....maybe we should go buy stock in this company because I have a feeling sales are going to skyrocket. :-)

ummmm seriously? As a woman, and iphone owner...I really couldn't care LESS what cell phone he has! Who is stupid enough to assume that the type of cell phone a guy has is a reflection on his 'intelligence and reliability"??? My first thought/comment was "Wow...just wow" but rainydave beat me to the punch on that one.... And I want to get paid to perform these studies. Way easier than my job!

I heard guys with a good sense of humor are lousy in bed though. My wife says I have the same sense of humor as a rock.
