The phone a person uses is WAY down the list of things on my attractiveness scale.

Anybody that finds someone more attractive because they have an iPhone or any other phone is a moron. An iPhone or Android is no prestige thing as far as im concerned. More attractive? Really? LOL

I'm used to girls here having Blackberries, so seeing girls with iPhones is rare, but it doesn't make me all "ZOMG she's hot!"

I shall restate...

It's actually a play on the subconscious mind. It's not about conscious preference of what phone you like, it's a subconscious symbol of status. Since the iPhone is an expensive item and costs a lot to maintain (roughly $2,500 for a two year contract) your subconscious mind associates that person in a category of higher social status, and people are generally more attracted to people in the higher section of the social hierarchy. Of course that's only part of the whole reason, but that was just a short explanation.

It's not about seeing someone with an iPhone and deciding they are attractive, it's how the brain is constantly comparing things and compares that person with others.
 
How biased.

I don't find anyone of the opposite sex attractive.

Except I'd hit Kathy Griffen just to say I did. And she has an iPhone.

So... Yes?

But I'd rather date someone that is an Apple fanatic like me.

I made my pc programmer ex that enjoys long walks on the beach and talking about how open software is the future where as proprietary software is failing rush out and buy a MacBook Air and iPad.

Couldn't get the dumb dumb to buy an iPhone though.

I finally called it off.
 
I answered wrong...said "No" but should have answered "Don't care".

I will say this, went on a date w/ a girl I really like recently. It was cool that she had a white iPhone and I had a black one. We traded cases for a bit to see what our phones looked like. It was an iPhone date. :p

Agreed.

I guess its no different than asking, "If you see the opposite sex in a $100,000 car (vs a Ford Pinto)... does that make them more attractive to you?"

Sadly alot of people would say yes...

Well, if you think about it...

If someone can't muster the snap and wherewithall to choose & purchase an iPhone,

How much can they have going for them? I prefer dating someone who makes good decisions and successfully pursues their goals. :D

Well, if you think about it, this is so painfully lame.

Yeah, the kind of phone one carries is certainly the perfect basis for a relationship.

OH. MY. GOD. :eek:
 
Oddly enough I think I do find women with iPhones more attractive...but only if they have the 4 or 4S! haha

I guess it's just the fact that I know they'll be able to sextime...or facetime rather!
 
I think intelligence is way more important otherwise why bother with a "smart"phone ;)
 
I look at their face, rear, um, yeah ok breasts. At no stage does an iPhone in the hand/pocket/purse even come into the top 100 things I find attractive about a woman :D
 
Probably prefer to long term date a girl who likes mac stuff then one who does not at all. But as far if a girl is hot or not it makes no difference. Most girls I have met are not that hard core fans of anything geeky in the first place so it hardly matters.
 
I find it humorous that no "girls" appeared to have spoken up....

I'm too old to respond, but i can say for my age bracket, that it seems that male dumb phone owners aren't overly into tech things, and that can be an issue because they don't think it is fun to go to the apple store ;)

Of course, I'm basing this on my ex so that might be biased too! LOL!!

Some of us girls answered. Some of us just don't like the opposite sex. Now same sex I would say yes just because of maybe they love apple products as much as I do. At least its a conversation starter.

I missed the girl input - sorry!

But i have to say, having gone thru a nasty divorce, I'm not really a big fan of the male version of the species right now! :D

Although I do have a crush on someone, and I think he has a BB and pager, but all can be forgiven if they are work issued right????

Anyway, I'm still too old for the thread :eek:
