He's right, it makes women much less attractive.
It makes everyone less attractive. Nobody is so important or indispensable that they can't go without their cell phone for an hour or so. Out on a date and one or both people are on they're cell phones....why bother dating? Working out while using a cell phone is not working out. Although it is illegal, people still drive while talking or texting on their phones. The ultimately most ridiculous act is using a blue-tooth earphone and talking to someone regardless of what else they're doing, like shopping or checking out at the grocery store. They remind me of crazy people who walk around talking to no one. Only difference, they talk louder than the crazy person. I'm guilty of answering calls while driving, although it's hands and sight free because I am using my car's blue-tooth connection and I'm not disturbing others.
