A new survey has found that women are more likely to give out their phone number to men who have iPhones.

CultofMac reports that a Phones4U survey of 1,500 women found that 54% of them would be more likely to give their digits and date an iPhone owner than a non-iPhone owner and 37% said that owning an iPhone makes a man seem more reliable.

The survey also found that iPhone owners were better groomed, more likely to have a good sense of humor, and better at conversation.

“There’s just something about a man who’s good with computers that makes him more trustworthy,” said Lucy, a 23-year-old primary school teacher from London, in the press release. “If he’s got the cash for an iPhone then he must be very good at his job, too.”

Let me state that I have nothing against iphone owners. I only have an issue with this particular article. I am sure this study has tons of caveats that is not disclosed. Iphone users might be hipper, cooler because that's how apple market its users. But if you are a truly efficient practical person who uses your smart phone for business and personal, you will feel frustrated with the iphone non-reliant email servers and the non-responsive keypad on the iphone, which is terrible for people who needs to response to emails every 5 minutes. There are other devices that does this function much better, for example, the blackberry. I'd love to know the source of this study, and a better understanding of how they sample the population for this research. Maybe what the research finding was: woman found more likely to give their number to a man with a SMART phone. And I would assume that a man with a nice modern blackberry is more practical and manly, and probably more successful because of his practical traits, compare to the hippie who mistakenly assumed that apple makes everything, including the yelp app that is installed on their iphone. And last but definitely not least, women give numbers to men that they feel are interesting, connected, kind, and whatever their criterias are, and not because of their ownership of a smartphone that might make them look well-off. And for the women who share their phone numbers because of this reason, men, do you really want to be connected with her? Awaiting your comments.
