Cosmopolitan Magazine has named the Apple store one of the best places for women to pick up a man.

According to them: "The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise."

Cosmo is on the bottom of my list when it comes to trustworthy reseach and fact crunching.
Who'd they poll? Anyone know this to actually be true?

All I know, is that at Somerset Mall, there's a few geniuses that I wouldn't mind teaching me a few things...;)

In all seriousness though, me and the girlfriend went to the Apple store today, and there were more men than usual.

Hmm...suspicious.

Good thing the closest Apple Store from here is 90 miles away! Fortunately my wife knows me better than that; I'd never travel that far on the off chance of meeting a "cutie".

I can't see how that's true... The guys in the Apple stores around here are fat and nerdy and too busy with the computers, or fanboys.

Plus I never see chicks in Apple shops! Unless their 14 years old and buying a pink shuffle/mini...

You know, I thought about this a little, and realized it's doesn't really make sense. I mean, come on guys. If a girls starts hitting on you and you're interested, does it matter if you're in an Apple store or eating an Apple on the street corner? I woman can come hit on me no matter where I am!! :)

I was hit on once in an office supplies store. Really threw me off because I was young, so I wasn't used to women hitting on me, and I was totally blindsided when I got hit on at an office supply store ;P
