“Match.com’s annual Singles in America survey — which polled 5,675 (non-Match using) singles whose demographics were representative of the national population according to the U.S. Census — found that people who have more sex, tend to use emojis more,” Laura Stampler reports for TIME Magazine.
“‘It turns out that 54% of emoji users had sex in 2014 compared to 31% of singles who did not,’ Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University who helped lead the study, tells TIME. And the more emojis singles used, the more sex they tended to have,” Stampler reports. “According to the data, released Wednesday, these statistics held true for men and women in the 20s, 30s and 40s.”
Stampler reports, “‘Emoji users don’t just have more sex, they go on more dates and they are two times more likely to want to get married,’ Fisher says. ‘Sixty-two percent of emoji users want to get married compared to 30% of people who never used an emoji… that’s pretty good.'”

And married men have less sex-so who cares?
For some but there are a select few that has it and it actually gets better! hehe 😛
Who cares? The married men who are having less sex. 🙂
So, not even the all mighty emoji can help us poor married people?!?!? Damn!
%^D
And this pertains to Apple how?????? My first reaction was, “Who gives 2/3 of a purple f*ck?”
Because people talk to each with smiley poop icons on their iPhone keyboards I guess.
In other news… emoji users are also younger and pursue sex more often.
(▽◕ ᴥ ◕▽)
Apparently, the study claims that the trend was similar for younger, as well as older singles.
As for pursuit of sex, the study didn’t look into that, and your statement (younger singles pursue sex more often) would need to be backed up by some data. What you say may or may not be true; it sounds plausible, but without data, it is unsubstantiated.
What, once a year, turns you into a fun cutesy person?
What about married couples? Do emojis keep couples together? 😛
No, but sex does. 😉
That’s somewhat worrying. My wife uses emojis a lot, while I never ever use them. If she’s getting more sex than me, I’m not at all happy about it.
And this is one of those cases where correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation.
In other words, if you are single, and decided to start using emojis in EVERY text you send, will that result in you getting lucky more often?
Or, if a women wasn’t happy with the quality of sex, if she were to increase the frequency of “kiss”-related emojis in her texts, will she then have orgasms more frequently (as the study reports)?
It doesn’t take much mental effort to suggest that it is more likely that the patterns of emoji usage reflect elements of personality and personal (some might say moral) attitudes about sex and love.
My Sex Education Curriculum:
A. Insert Tab A into Slot B.
B. Tabs & Slots treat each other nice.
C. Rinse & Repeat.
And in other news . . . People who can’t express themselves with words are more likely to express themselves with sex but people who can express themselves with words have more developed vocabulary and more developed brains and enjoy the sex they do have more completely.
The people who actually are having sex, did not respond to the survey. I know that’s the only time that I don’t check my in box. No pun intended!
What the heck is an “Emoji?”
The survey is obviously incomplete. On the low end they should have collected responses for:
“I hate it when people use them,”
“I really hate it when people use them”….
Because you asked;

Apparently the Japanese have sex, if we use the twisted logic of “Singles who use emojis have more…”
And

Now you know that Apple Iphone users apparently have more…”
” So Apple buried an emoji keyboard in the iPhone where North Americans weren’t intended to find it. But eventually tech-savvy users in the U.S., who were curious about the Japanese emoji phenomenon, figured out that you could force your phone to open this hidden keyboard by downloading a Japanese-language app, and voilà—suddenly you could bejangle your texts with a smiling Pile of Poo”
“…you could bejangle your texts with a smiling Pile of Poo”
That marked the precise moment of The Second Renaissance.

Then report if you are having more…
Singles who use emoji have more sex
It’s not only true, it extends to people in their 50s! 😉

they gotta vagina emoji?
you know, just in case I need to text Melvin.
I haven’t found any more suggestive of such than the three fish emoji, and of course the pineapple. Oh and I suppose this qualifies: 🐈
Damn, finally! So, this is it. I thought it was me who scared men. But in fact, it is because I use to express myself better with words.
