iPads don't make you attractive to the opposite sex

I have to dispute the findings here. Its clearly a bad study, because drawing and painting is ranked lowest, when I know for a fact, that whenever I have my sketchbook out in public, I can't get people to leave me alone. Its kind of a problem really. its really hard to sketch with everyone wanting to see the sketch. Then you give up and show them the sketch and they get that obvious look of disappointment on their face because it isn't finished yet. Sometimes things just look like a mess until you put on that one last touch that turns it into a landscape full of happy little trees. Haven't they ever watched Bob Ross?

Devices like the iPad are only interesting to those kind of people when they are new.

To the moron who wrote this article: Actually, the survey asked respondents if they were more likely to be attracted to "a person"... it didn't say anything about the opposite sex. Way to piss off all your non-straight readers, loser.

Bogus article that is entirely subjective.

What I find interesting is that for every activity in that graph, the males are more likely than females to be attracted by someone doing it. I bet if they'd included "breathing" in the survey, more males would find it attractive. :)

The whole study is inaccurate because women are lying liers who lie lies.

If a girl isn't into my cool Apple tech then I don't want her, unless it's Jessica Alba or Eva Mendez ;-)

All this survey says is that men are more impressed by "things" than women are. End of.

Whaha! Only thing I see in the statistic is that men in general are more interested in women. What ever gadget/tool ist about. Are we more materialistic or hunting more for women.
Chill out guys and relax. Give them the cold shoulder and let's turn that statistic around ;-) they'll come running anyway.

I would really rather have the girl that liked me because she saw me reading a physical book anyway. Not because of my cool car or my cool phone or my iPad

I'm with Graham, 1 in 3 isn't bad at all and 50% for the iPhone is even better.

If you're in a committed relationship, then of course you shouldn't be trying to pick up girls with your iPhone, but in many cases where two people are just looking for an excuse to start talking, electronic devices (particularly Apple) are often the perfect opening. Which is different than being attracted to someone because of of their cool gadget.

I don't get why this is particularly fluffy or a waste of space. It's 3 days before Valentines Day. The airwaves are going to be awash with stories like this, just like they are every year at this time.

What I did find weird were the attempts to break down the findings to suggest that reading books were significantly higher on the attraction scale. 36-42% is hardly a meaningful difference and 29-30% is the same statistic allowing for margins of error.
