Gadget lovers have long held to the secret belief that the right camera, smartphone or large-aperture lens will make them sexier.

Now dating site OK Cupid has proof.

According to OK Cupid’s survey of 552,000 user pictures, digital SLRs make you look more attractive, Panasonic cameras make you sexier than Nikons, while using a flash will make you look 7 years older, and large-aperture lenses make you hotter.

And iPhone users have more sexual partners than BlackBerry or Android owners. By age 30, the average male iPhone user has had about 10 partners while female iPhone users have had 12. By contrast, BlackBerry users hover around 8 partners and Android users have a mere 6.

As the blog’s author’s wryly observe: “Finally, statistical proof that iPhone users aren’t just getting f**ked by Apple.â€

That should give iPhone and iPad users some comfort for being considered ‘selfish elites,’ as another recent survey found.

OK Cupid has been analyzing the behavior of the site’s millions of users for some time, and has discovered many interesting tidbits: People tend to lie on their profiles, people’s political preferences change as they age, and men can increase their chances of getting a date by being open to older women. The site’s massive dataset, huge volume of activity, and interesting slicing and dicing combine to produce some keen observations on human nature.

But for gadget heads, there’s no more pertinent observation than (hard) data. The Panasonic Micro 4/3 camera will make you look far more attractive than a Canon DSLR, which in turn is better than a Nikon or Sony DSLR. And forget about cameraphones: Android, Nokia, BlackBerry and Windows phones all make you look less attractive, with Motorola phones at the absolute bottom of the list.

Similarly, the type of camera you wield makes a big difference. There’s a dramatic illustration showing how the same woman looks photographed with a cameraphone, a point-and-shoot camera, and an SLR. That makes sense: As we’ve explained before, larger image sensors give you better-quality images.

Along the same lines, a larger-aperture photo lets you put the background out of focus, increasing the apparent attractiveness of the person you’re taking a picture of.

So if you wanted an excuse to buy a fancier camera with a bigger lens, OK Cupid’s got all the rationale you need.

As for switching from Android or BlackBerry to an iPhone? Well, that’s up to you. Unlike with the photos, it’s hard to tell whether iPhone use is the cause, or the effect, of having more notches in one’s bedpost.

Oh please.... it isnt telling you to buy an iphone.

Simply telling you that female iphone users are more slutty...

(BTW the girls with two mobile phones are usually the best bet.)

i thought that at least two mobiles was the norm for girls now !! :roll: :roll:

Well difficult to know whether you simply understand the concept or whether it reflects the girls you date.

Still the research would be far more interesting if you added to it by researching the number of sexual partners that a girl with an iphone and an android had. My guess is that Nokia comes into the equation. Namely a Nokia/iphone combination could be perfect. I would also guess that a Blackberry combination might be verging on being too professional.

BTW shagging a girl with two phones doesnt count as two shags even if you have both numbers.

And shagging a girl who claims not to have a phone simply means you were a lousy shag. (Unless it is Oprah Winfrey in which case it means you shouldnt be allowed to shag.)

hmmm ... i think a 10 year old understands the concept !!!!

i thought the research was total bollocks and doubt it's relevance!! and it's certainly not interesting enough to even consider wasting any time on .... except for making a throw away comment on here !!!

i don't tend to count my shags and i don't know anybody who doesn't have a mobile nowadays !!!

How about shagging a girl while talking dirty to another girl on the phone?

(a friend wants to know)

Oh and he wants to know if using a vibrating phone as a sex toy is safe...

(he asked me to ask you)

YES .... but u need to use a mobidom !!!

i phone 4 users get laid more because they get sh*t reception with their phone and bump into each other while looking for a phone box...

:lol:

I was actually going to go for Iphone4 and then i saw the news about the problem with security for Iphone..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10865288

So, i have to stop and think abit..

At the same time, Blackberry which is less popular in EU , dont know why..

has some kinds of option that encrypted the code (whatever it called) so that pissed these 2 middle east countries off..

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE67007P20100801

So.. im thinking that I might go for BB instead..

Anyway, OP - this article from OK Stupid site sounds stupid to me..
