They whip it out to attract chicks? I'm getting old ...
 

Forget the cheesy chat-up lines, flash car or dodgy dancing, men are now whipping out their mobiles to attract the ladies, research from Sheffield Hallam University reveals.

The research also found men actively display their phones more than women in social situations to look important and popular and also to show off to male peers.

This true in your opinion?

(My dad says when he was in high school guys jingled their car keys)

Probably true. It's to show they make money enough money to afford a phone and have nice pretty shiny thing that they can call people on and get phone calls.. so they are oh so important.. much more important than someone with a 6 month old phone.. :)

I want a Blackberry..

i thought they whipped their dicks out

i did thayt a few times...with mixed results

I did that at one of the Miami conventions. I think there are pics. Mixed results ;-)

That might have worked to impress people back when only the well-to-do had mobile phones.

These days every idiot in the trailer park has a cell phone.

Haha, when I was in high school I used to show off my bag phone to get chicks.

That's why I was thinking too.

i think mine was in phoenix...almost started a big fight..lol
