Does the smartphone you carry help your chances with the opposite sex? According to research from dating site OKCupid.com, people who own iPhones are having more sex than those who use BlackBerrys or Android phones.
Of the 9,785 people with smartphones polled by OKCupid, men with iPhones had an average of 10 sexual partners by age 30, compared to 8.1 partners for those with BlackBerrys, and 6 partners for those with Android-based smartphones.
Among the women, iPhone owners had 12.3 partners, BlackBerry users had 8.8 partners, and Android users had 6.1 partners, on average, by age 30.
Of course, this is from a dating Web site – an area of the Internet not usually synonymous with honesty, so take those stats with a grain of salt.
The results were part of an OKCupid investigation into what types of photographs got the most positive results on the Web site. Not surprisingly, photographs taken with interchangeable lens cameras, like DSLRs, took more attractive photographs than point-and-shoot cameras, and using the flash instead of soft lighting could add up to seven years to a photograph.
What cameras took the nicest photographs? Panasonic Micro Four Thirds devices came in at number one, as did DSLRs from Canon, Pentax, Nikon, and Sony. Not recommended – cell phone photographs – unless you're using an iPhone, of course.
The site also found positive results for photographs that had the main subject in focus, while the background was blurry.
