iPhone users draw in more sexual partners than BlackBerry and Android users.

According to Professor Landsburg,

Data from 9,785 users of the dating site OKCupid reveal that iPhone users have 50% to 100% more sex partners than Android users, at every age.

This graph combines men and women, but the same pattern holds for each gender separately.

Correlation isn’t causation, i.e. doesn’t mean that you buy and use an iPhone you automatically get a surge of admirers from the opposite sex, but what gives?

Buying the i-phone in itself will not make you sexually attractive, but I understand the psychology behind it.

For many people, buying cool and expensive gadgets goes beyond basic use. There's a subjective feeling of being so cool and being admired by many if you decide to buy such gadgets at the time when they are luxurious.

There's a subtext that reads: "If I can buy this stuff, then I have more than enough to provide for you."

If a guy acts on this, he'll act more confidently in approaching women. The other person of the opposite sex might pick up on this message also.
