The Phone Crutch

One of the things I've noticed that people do when they're out at a bar / club / lounge / toga party setting is - use their phone as a crutch. This applies for:

1) Girls that aren't getting approached, and aren't in a group of friends
2) Guys that aren't approaching,
3) People by themselves, and
4) People in a group that is awkwardly put together and not really a group

So, the easiest way to make yourself seem less wallflower-ish, boring, and or loner-ish is to whip out your phone and start texting. If you're really desparate, you could shop for ringtones and play games as well. Don't get me wrong, if you're not in the mood to make something happen, then don't feel obliged to. On the other hand, you can text at home or on the subway and it's a lot cheaper. I'm also curious as to what would happen if people were forced to give up their cell phones when they entered said settings. Would there be more of those dancing lines, snaking around the room, picking up strangers as it goes?
