Carrying a guitar can increase the chances of getting a man a woman's number by a third, a study by researchers from the University of South Brittany has found.

The research showed women were 31 per cent more likely to give out their number if a man was carrying a guitar – twice the number of people who parted with their details when he was empty-handed.

But a man carrying a sports bag had a success rate of only nine per cent.
