Sara: or MOST LIKELY iPhone users score sooner and do not need to talk the dates into it. It probably goes like it
"Hey babe I got an iPhone and you can drive it!"
"Oh honey I love you soooo... pick me up address xyz NOW"
And no need for 173 more messages, you already got your sex tonight.

Again, that's what I said at the end of the article.

Gee, I sure feel like a fool for not arguing that this study probably doesn't mean anything. Oh wait, that's exactly what I did.

Also, I'd suggest you type the word "Apple" into that search box before suggesting that VentureBeat has an anti-Apple agenda. Is the constant gushing about our iPhones and MacBooks supposed to be some kind of reverse psychology? Give me a break.

That's what I was trying to say here: And of course there’s the whole “correlation is not causation” issue — just because people don’t use the iPhone to flirt doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the iPhone.

We have an app for the iPhone that sends out virtual gifts (iGiphts). The most popular category is "Romance", with a lot of romantic/flirtatious gifts, and it is getting a ton of usage. I don't think you can assume the iPhone is not good for romance/flirting based on the experience of one app.

But none that will draw the clicks better. Also, VentureBeat has an agenda to discredit Apple products for it's Microsoft bosses.

Perhaps other conclusions could be that most iPhone users are already dating. Or iPhone users tend to be more selective about who they date. Or iPhone users have more things to attend to than sending over 60 messages a day. There are many other explanations that seem more plausible than the conclusion that owning an iPhone causes you to not date!
