Lester Haines at The Register has an interesting article on a new phenomenum apparently discovered by T-Mobile Researchers.
According to T-Mobile, 22% of blokes “regularly include a kiss on texts to their male mates”, and this new generation of touchy-feely “Metrotextuals” are apparently most heavily represented among 18 to 24-year-olds, of whom as many as 75% are “regularly sealing texts with a kiss”.
Clinical psychologist Ron Bracey was on hand to explain to Reuters that men have “traditionally been reluctant to share their emotions with friends and tended to keep their feelings bottled up… However, the advent of mobile phones and social media means more communication is done non-verbally, and through this it seems men can more easily share their feelings with others – especially their male friends.”
Wow… SMS is helping men to share their emotion feelings… no wonder so many women and falling head over heels through our Mobile Dating community!
