LIVING OFF DIVIDENDS & PASSIVE INCOME

If you’re one of those unlucky guys who doesn’t have much luck with the ladies, your luck has now changed. You can now become a total babe magnet for less than $1000. All you need to do is buy an iPhone! [Since writing this article came out, the prices have dropped and you can get an iPhone for a lot less than that.]

According to Cliff Mason of TheStreet.com, its the best $600 he’s ever wasted.

As soon as she gets her hands on the thing, the cashier next to her catches sight of it and flashes me a look of what I can only describe as sheer ecstasy before asking if she, too, can take a look. When the two women on either side of me and the one in line behind me realized there was an iPhone owner in their midst, they reacted like I was one of the Beatles, circa 1964.

Maybe I’m embellishing a bit, but not much. It is true that within that five-minute period, more women tried to make more small talk with me than at any time in the last four or five years.

Further, he justifies its high price tag too.

People compare the price of the iPhone to the much lower price of a BlackBerry or a Treo and conclude that the $600 price tag is way too expensive. They’re using the wrong comparison. We should be comparing the iPhone with plastic surgery. What’s $600 compared to the $6,000 you might pay for a tummy tuck, or the $8,000 many will pay for a face-lift?

So if any of you are looking for a good excuse to buy an Iphone, this is probably the best one. You can read about it in his own words here.
