    If someone dumps me on a first date over my phone then so be it. It actually looks like dodging a bullet.

      I would love to say “use whatever you like”, but these Apple sycophants are ridiculous. They literally judge people because of the color of a text bubble! It’s like saying “both US political parties are bad”. Like, yeah: one party is flawed, but the other wants to destroy Democracy…

    Holy shit I’ve got some boomer energy, here:

    The reason to not take out your phone isn’t because someone might hate on your phone.

    You don’t take out your phone on a date so that you can be giving that person your full attention.

    Men, proudly drag that battered and cracked android phone out on the first date, it’s a litmus test for shallow people, apparently.

    I went on a first date with a girl I met from work. She farted loud enough to be heard over drunken yelling and music in the steakhouse we were in, immediately after saying “I don’t get embarassed”.

    In a couple of weeks, we will have been together for 16 years. We’ve been married for 14 years. We cook together every evening, we hold each other whenever we are in the same room for more than five minutes, and on the rare nights where we aren’t taking each other’s clothes off, we fall asleep wrapped around each other. I would have missed out on a perfect relationship if I had judged her for a phone.

    This is a feature of android, not a bug. If someone is that shallow and can’t consider the possible motivations of using a GASP different phone, they would be a really bad partner.

      Exactly, if someone bases their dating on such a stupid reason, imagine what other stupid things they base their life around. Thanks, I’ll pass.

    If a woman is that shallow and materialistic then the guy is dodging a bullet. Anyhow, it’s a weird thing to say since “android phone” could mean literally anything from a basic $100 smartphone all the way up to a $50,000 Vertu diamond and white alligator skin. i.e. it could mean the guy is sensible with his money or even more shallow and materialistic than the girl could ever dream to be.

      Could mean that he enjoys a near complete lack of privacy, likes to use a samsung web browser, has his life assfucked by Google, likes shovelware, or wants a phone that only gets updates for 3 years. I’d be suspicious too.

        Yeah… Or it could be the complete opposite of all that.

        Android / AOSP comes in many flavours from Swiss cheese give your life away security to locked down more than any apple device could be. IOS only comes in 1 flavour.
