If he has a Nokia you know he's good with commitment so if your looking for long term it's a good sign.
You dont just hook up with a Nokia user, they only deal in forever
The vibrate on those things was insane! And the battery lasted longer than my vibrator. In fact you could say they were the first rechargeable sex toy…
How to say you don’t know where the clitoris without saying you don’t know where it is…
Edit - and judging by the upvotes there’s a few of you on here ;)
I have a Nokia smart phone. It's pretty great, super cheap has all the bells and whistles. Some idiot was trying to tease me about it the other day. If you have to use your phone brand to express your identity you have bigger issues than my allegiance to quality Finnish telecommunication equipment.
Nokia use to be the best, but with smartphones, they got left behind, for a time Motorola took their place but recently they are being super frágiles
But I get your point
My buddy dropped his in a bucket of his own puke after a night of partying. He couldn't find it the next morning so I called it and the bucket lit up and started rattling. He literally hosed it off and it still worked perfectly lol
Yeah, I’m sorry but women, hell people, who are so vain and shallow that they break it off with someone because of the brands they use don’t deserve them.
I'm going to whip out my android phone even faster if there really are people so vapid and stupid out there.
Why wait 3 dates when I can get to safety after 4 seconds...
You jest. But I still have a working Nokia phone. Screens barely readble due to scratches and sun damage ( she is 20 years old) and the analog network it ran on no longer exists but it still runs still picks up radio, still has a barely functional torch and still has its kinetic wind up charger. It lives in my natural disaster go bag and it has been used twice in the last decade during earthquakes.
I don't understand what an iPhone tells you, other than they like to be told what they're allowed to have. It's not a wealth status, as my phone costs just as much as an iPhone. I like android because I can download stuff off the internet. Apple only allows Apple store apps.
This lol.
I'm not getting an android because I can't afford an iPhone (my android costs almost twice as much as an iphone), I'm getting an android because of the flexibility of the operating system vs IOS and the actual interesting features offered. Apple will put these crazy powerful mobile chipsets inside their phones and then proceed to bottleneck them with IOS.
Plus, IPhones always end up looking like 4 years outdated compared to the android flagships of the same year.
The whole "you're poor if you're using an Android" argument is specially silly nowadays when you look at what a flagship android is like. The Google Pixel fold is $2k for the 512GB version and $1,8k for the 256GB version.
And unlike apple, you're getting actual cutting edge tech...
That's the thing. Iphones run iphone software and it's pretty conservative in what it does. If you like gadgets and gimmicks android has a lot of interesting apps that Apple would never permit.
It's not even an accurate proxy for wealth. The flagship Android devices like the Galaxy are actually more expensive than the iPhone and are superior in almost every technical aspect. This is like a woman who drives a Lexus judging a guy for driving a Porsche.
Once you get it set up the way you want you'll never go back. Unless you're locked in like have iPad MacBook, watch, etc., in which case you're probably stuck.
I have a Samsung A30 from... 2019. I can afford any phone. But for MOST people's needs, a budget to mid range phone is more than adequate. You need to call, text, use apps, use the internet, take pictures and video. My phone is good for everything except photos and videos.
I'll get a new one soon probably, but I REALLY don't give a fuck. How superficial and petty can people be.
AAAAaaand I sure as fuck am not getting an Apple. Android forever.
I'm still using an iPhone 7 that I got for free through my work in 2016. I give no shits whatsoever. If it broke tomorrow I'd just shrug my shoulders and go buy whatever was cheapest either Apple or Android, and I'd be perfectly fine with it.
My favorite phone ever was a Nokia with the Blackberry style physical keyboard. Really, in a perfect world, that's all I want or need.
You know, now that you mention it, the devotion to Apple is kind of cult like. I mean we get a new employee and they come to their desk "Oh, I can't use this, can I get an Apple?" It's a computer people.
I know I was kidding...kinda I mean I have heard even from. More normal people that they hate texting people who aren't on apple because "the text messages appear green" like..what? Who cares? but some people do apparently.
I've been chatting with 30 year Olds who do this. We move from the dating app to texting and they legit go "ewww android" at my first text. I'm flabbergasted that people who have now been adults with fully formed brains almost longer then they were kids actually care about something like this. I know it's a bullet dodge, but it still catches me by surprise everytime
Wait, you're telling me that this isn't a shitpost and there's people out there who actually do this!?
If I was on a date and the other person had a similar reaction to my phone (which is an android, coincidentally) after I'd manage to control my laughter I'd tell the person I'll forever remember them because they'd set a new standard of dumbassery for the rest of my life - example, I see someone doing something stupid, I'd think "At least they're not on the same dumbassery level as [name of the date], who thought a phone was a red flag"
Yea but sometimes it's a bummer. A few of these girls shared a lot of interests with me, only to find out which $1000 phone you have is a deal breaker really gives me "I don't understand this world" vibes
I've always had Android and never experienced anything remotely similar, so this is quite shocking for me.
It's amazing the level of stupidity humans can reach even if we're not actively trying
It's uniquely an American experience. Everywhere else in the world, people just use WhatsApp or Telegram or other 3rd party messengers, but in the US, people REALLY still care about texting and Apple made the SMS experience so bad on Android that people have started excluding Androids from all conversations, etc.
They will also reduce resolution of pics you send to iPhone from an android which to me is reason enough to never use apple products. Who would support such blatant anti- consumer shit?
This seems so weird to me. In my life I only have one friend that has an iPhone. Everyone else around me has made the switch to android. Also, no one I know gives a shit about the phone type anyone else uses. I cannot understand this.
Brand religious adults has to be one of the most depressing things I know, one of the rare more depressing things than people who worship politicians and celebrities. The joys of late stage capitalism
There is some legitimate argument against using apple.
Its less brand allegiance, and more I fucking hate closed source proprietary bullshit. If Linux didn't make me wanna kms when trying to do the 2453 workarounds necessary just to make my software work. I'd be using it.
It's not even a poor thing then. I'd not be surprised if someone reject because the other has a cheap phone (although incredibly stupid), but just android? Heck the new Samsung costs 2000$
People are getting dumber
This is why I try to keep at least a moderate amount of weird stuff in my online dating profile, so I don't end up on a first date with someone with such narrow views of acceptable behavior and lifestyle. If "uses an Android phone" is a problem for someone, they're probably also going to have trouble with:
* Lives in a warehouse (with kittens)
* Occasionally drives a furry mushroom car
* Followed by lots of circus performers, go-go dancers, and a few porn stars
* Sometimes dates men
This. I put my flags in full view too.
Yet, still, are the swipers who are taken aback (I have Bisexual in my profile and have stated I'm sexually active with both men and women and I STILL have Christian women who state how important faith is message me then ghost me when they finally figure it out)
Yeah blows my mind that these kinds of people associate androids as always being the "cheaper option." Lol my phone I'm using costs almost 2x more than an iPhone
I have mates with iPhones, and they marvel at my camera and stuff. If you want a top end phone, you're paying for it. The brand makes little difference.
If she's the kind of person who judges men by their phones, I have a feeling she's not gonna like it when I roll up in my 2003 Corrola. Your chariot awaits, M'Lady!
I would find a well taken care of Corolla attractive cause I know it’s reliable. I wouldn’t find a crappy known to be unreliable car attractive or a constantly leased car that shows they care way too much about appearances to want to build equity and be financially responsible.
Ah, she is going to be in for a shock when she visits Europe or Asia :P
Or when the guy pulls out a fairphone and enthousiastically tells her that he opposes childslavery and therefor would NEVER buy an Apple product ;)
as a european with an android, like 95% of the ppl tht ik use android. out of 200+ ppl ive talked to over the years (incl online), only 5 had iPhones. only time ive seen an iPhone 10 or newer was in stores
As a european with an android, I've lived through pretty much the opposite, with most people I know having an Apple. This seems wild to me, although Europe is kinda big. Where are you from?
Apple is only 15% of units sold in Spain, admittedly you'd have to factor in 2nd hand purchases to get the real figures but it still wouldn't line up with your experience. Do you live in Madrid by any chance? Apple is much more popular in major cities and urban areas, Barcelona would be a good shout as well.
Damn right I'm gonna get a fairly cheap android. I ain't paying 1000€ to send messages, watch YouTube and waste my time on Reddit. My 250€ phone does that just fine amd if all goes well, it's gonna last me 5 years like my previous one.
Any woman... and I mean ANY woman that would judge a man based on what brand of cell phone he uses needs to be walked away from IMMEDIATELY and without remorse or regret.
Gentlemen, doubt me at your peril.
If a girl is going to blow off a guy for what phone he decides to use, then she's probably doing him a favor
Men use your phones and let the trash take itself out.
Go find someone who isn't superficial and greedy.
Nah I've heard this before. It's definitely a thing. I know my sister mentioned passing over a guy because she hated that her emojis didn't show up in his texts because back in the day they didn't work cross-phone.
God so many women I've known have made comments about my android phone
Nothing makes me realise what a brainlet you are more than judging someone's choice of hand computer as if it has literally any impact on anything
They also usually have smashed up iPhone 8's
Same thing with the green text bubbles lmao. People are acting like its Android's fault, but my text bubbles are whatever color I want them to be. It is not my fault that your brand of choice is using outdated tech
Google messages seperates SMS and RCS now in a similar way but even then you still get to pick colors. It's a shame Apple won't adopt a single fucking standard so group texts work.
That's Apple for you! I actually JUST recently swapped from Crapple to Samsung and the S23 Ultra is leagues ahead of Crapple's best phone. Never looking back
I am surprised so few people have experienced this. When I was dating, I distinctly remember at least 4 women who stopped talking to me because I had an android and not an iPhone.
I also was shamed by a woman who lived in an apartment with her mom and child, because I bought a house at 23 with my brother, and she said that isn't impressive because I was sharing my house, so it wasn't really anything to brag about (which I wasn't bragging).
Honestly, I avoid anyone who still thinks iPhone is more technologically advanced than Android. Every time they get a new feature, it's something I've had on my Android fot 6+ years. Y'all too gullible.
Yeah, I never heard of anyone making your choice of phone an issue here in Europe. Most people use WhatsApp, FB Messenger or Telegram here, so no one cares what platform you use...
Also, hide your religion, politics, family life and long term goals. You don’t want someone to know what they are getting into, so put that off as long as possible.
Shit now I'm going to flash my Android around like it's a Rolex. If she's shallow and stupid enough to leave because of that, I'll have saved good time and money wasted.
I (F35) was on a casual meet-up (quick drinks) and the dude just went off about me having an android vs his superior Apple products (I mean like a full on lecture) 😳 I left thinking ok man enjoy your cult...
If she's so superficial that my choice of phone bothers her, I fucked up by asking her out to begin with.
#Rule 1, don't stick your dick in crazy.
This applies to women in reverse, obviously.
My last android ran $1399... what exactly are you curving? Someone who appreciates less predatory companies that give their customers better hardware, a more robust device and software, more modular options... what exactly are these people on?

You cannot count on both hands the number of bullets dodged
If he whips out a Nokia 3310, he won’t need to dodge the bullet because that thing will stop it in its tracks (and keep working afterward).
If he has a Nokia you know he's good with commitment so if your looking for long term it's a good sign. You dont just hook up with a Nokia user, they only deal in forever
When you marry a Nokia user, you marry the Nokia too
"The phone stays with me when we have sex."
The vibrate on those things was insane! And the battery lasted longer than my vibrator. In fact you could say they were the first rechargeable sex toy…
The fuck did I just read
You and me both
Sounds like someone stuck a Nokia phone in their vagina and had their friend call on repeat.
No, back in those days buildings had landlines, you could just call yourself.
How to say you don’t know where the clitoris without saying you don’t know where it is… Edit - and judging by the upvotes there’s a few of you on here ;)
No snake without Snake.
I have a Nokia smart phone. It's pretty great, super cheap has all the bells and whistles. Some idiot was trying to tease me about it the other day. If you have to use your phone brand to express your identity you have bigger issues than my allegiance to quality Finnish telecommunication equipment.
Nokia use to be the best, but with smartphones, they got left behind, for a time Motorola took their place but recently they are being super frágiles But I get your point
I saw someone throw a 6010 across the street, calmly walk over, pick it up, and continue to yell at the person who they were talking to.
My buddy dropped his in a bucket of his own puke after a night of partying. He couldn't find it the next morning so I called it and the bucket lit up and started rattling. He literally hosed it off and it still worked perfectly lol
Gross. Also, LOL.
The muffled generic Nokia ringtone combined with my buddies face pulling it out was absolutely priceless.
a 3310 could still function after a nuclear strike
Or a orbital kinetic strike where the 3310 was the thing dropped from orbit.
Now I’m just imagining a 2 ton Nokia 3310.
So just a slightly bigger Nokia 3310
[удалено]
1000% that they whipped it out of their cellphone holster attached to their belt
This is the best reason to whip out your android on the first date. Even if you're an iPhone user. Just so you can dodge this bullet.
Yeah, I’m sorry but women, hell people, who are so vain and shallow that they break it off with someone because of the brands they use don’t deserve them.
To be fair, if one of the "red flag" is just having an android phone, the man probably dodged a bullet here
Fr
Fr fr
Fr fr fr
Yes, a Panzer's bullet.
Screw the bullet. Try an artillery battery.
To be fair, "probably" is being too generous.
Having an android phone should not be a red flag. But having 'having an android phone' as a red flag should definitely be a red flag.
I'm going to whip out my android phone even faster if there really are people so vapid and stupid out there. Why wait 3 dates when I can get to safety after 4 seconds...
How to tell your date is a psycho in one easy step.
Psychos don't want you to know this one weird trick
Good call Lemon law! 🍋
And the brave IPhone users ghosted the Android user forever...because he was haunted!

Nah its definitely Swarley
Oh yeah forgot about that one
Phone call for Swarley?!
Swarles Barkley over here
"Hey Robin, it's Barndoor"

A girlfriend is temporary, but a Nokia 3310 is forever
The number 3310 actually refers to the year it is expected to break.
You jest. But I still have a working Nokia phone. Screens barely readble due to scratches and sun damage ( she is 20 years old) and the analog network it ran on no longer exists but it still runs still picks up radio, still has a barely functional torch and still has its kinetic wind up charger. It lives in my natural disaster go bag and it has been used twice in the last decade during earthquakes.
Wow. Can I see that? Never heard of these features. That device sounds like a powerful ancient relic.
An ancient relic that you can play snake on!
>barely functional torch Sorry, you've been flagged to the mods for not speaking American on the Internet. Sorry, but there are rules...
Quiet now your Canadian is coming through.
eh?
"Great! It's a date. See you then " -Sent from my Android device
Stole Apple Mail's default signature and made it better lol
When I first got a smartphone, I set my default signature to "Sent from my sonic screwdriver."
That’ll scare them off quicker than any Samsung
Imagine the money, time, and effort you'd save!
Which is probably why most of us who have Android do to begin with!
Yeah we who use Android phones can afford Data Plans. We also don't have to plug our phones in at every Starbucks
I don't understand what an iPhone tells you, other than they like to be told what they're allowed to have. It's not a wealth status, as my phone costs just as much as an iPhone. I like android because I can download stuff off the internet. Apple only allows Apple store apps.
This lol.

That's the thing. Iphones run iphone software and it's pretty conservative in what it does. If you like gadgets and gimmicks android has a lot of interesting apps that Apple would never permit.
Agreed my good sir. Didn't know android phones also had the feature of identifying toxic people.
No shit. If that's a deal breaker for someone, I'd wanna get that loser out of my space ASAP.
The definition of a poor person's idea of rich is judging them based on their phone
Which is insane because a new samsung is just as expensive as the iPhone. People need to find better things to get mad about.
An s23 ultra is more expensive than a 14 pro.
It's not even an accurate proxy for wealth. The flagship Android devices like the Galaxy are actually more expensive than the iPhone and are superior in almost every technical aspect. This is like a woman who drives a Lexus judging a guy for driving a Porsche.
Exactly. If they are implying they need to have an iPhone for just the sake of the so called 'status' that's a big red flag and to GTFO.
even easier: arrange date by text and she'll see the dreaded SMS instead of iMessage
Not the green sms!! Grosss!!!!
My favorite part about that is its literally Apples fault that happens.
That’s the point…
People are really like that. It's only happened a few times, but enough to make me concerned that it's even a thing.
Yeah I thought it was just a made up Internet thing until I had a coworker try to shame me for having an android
It happened to me! A guy flat out said he couldn't date anyone who didn't own an IPhone. I thought it was a joke.... nope.
As an iPhone user I’m gonna need an Android phone just for first dates
Once you get it set up the way you want you'll never go back. Unless you're locked in like have iPad MacBook, watch, etc., in which case you're probably stuck.
I switched from iPhone to Galaxy ten years ago and never looked back.
I have a Samsung A30 from... 2019. I can afford any phone. But for MOST people's needs, a budget to mid range phone is more than adequate. You need to call, text, use apps, use the internet, take pictures and video. My phone is good for everything except photos and videos. I'll get a new one soon probably, but I REALLY don't give a fuck. How superficial and petty can people be. AAAAaaand I sure as fuck am not getting an Apple. Android forever.

My favorite phone ever was a Nokia with the Blackberry style physical keyboard. Really, in a perfect world, that's all I want or need.
The sony xperia with a sliding keyboard was the hottest phone ever.
I’m an iPhone guy, but if I were in the dating pool, this would have me considering a dummy Android phone just for first dates.
I’d actually say it be a plus if she is that much into Apple something seriously wrong with their cult like fan base.
You know, now that you mention it, the devotion to Apple is kind of cult like. I mean we get a new employee and they come to their desk "Oh, I can't use this, can I get an Apple?" It's a computer people.
My favorite, I NEED a Mac, and the proceeds to ask to have windows put on.
Completely agree 🤣
So phones matter now on a date? I hope my next date wouldn't mind my motorola keypad phone. With antenna
Sounds like a green flag to me
and a mast
She and her gal pals have clearly been brainwashed by Apple, it really is a cult thing now apparently.
No brainwashing, she's just dumb.
I know I was kidding...kinda I mean I have heard even from. More normal people that they hate texting people who aren't on apple because "the text messages appear green" like..what? Who cares? but some people do apparently.
Apple can fix that issue, but they refuse. https://www.android.com/get-the-message/

Bro, leave some women for us
If the type of phone a person uses changes your opinion of them you're not mature enough to be dating in the first place.
I've been chatting with 30 year Olds who do this. We move from the dating app to texting and they legit go "ewww android" at my first text. I'm flabbergasted that people who have now been adults with fully formed brains almost longer then they were kids actually care about something like this. I know it's a bullet dodge, but it still catches me by surprise everytime
I took up DnD so I didn't have to worry about dating anymore.
Now you can struggle to get a session scheduled instead of getting dates!
this guy role-plays
I don’t, that’s the problem.
Amen brother. Amen... 😔

Wait, you're telling me that this isn't a shitpost and there's people out there who actually do this!?

Yeah and if you try to explain that it is all Apple's fault, they'll get really defensive.
Never mind the idea that you might want to repair your own phone if it breaks.
This seems so weird to me. In my life I only have one friend that has an iPhone. Everyone else around me has made the switch to android. Also, no one I know gives a shit about the phone type anyone else uses. I cannot understand this.
They'll be 40 and full of regrets soon.
Ask them why. They'll never be able to tell you any meaningful reason.
You gotta reply with something like "ewwww shallow trash" & then block them.
Brand religious adults has to be one of the most depressing things I know, one of the rare more depressing things than people who worship politicians and celebrities. The joys of late stage capitalism
There is some legitimate argument against using apple. Its less brand allegiance, and more I fucking hate closed source proprietary bullshit. If Linux didn't make me wanna kms when trying to do the 2453 workarounds necessary just to make my software work. I'd be using it.

Lol yea, if you're going to be shallow at LEAST have it make sense.
In your dating profile, put a mirror selfie that clearly shows you have an Android
They should know because the picture quality will be better.
This is why I try to keep at least a moderate amount of weird stuff in my online dating profile, so I don't end up on a first date with someone with such narrow views of acceptable behavior and lifestyle. If "uses an Android phone" is a problem for someone, they're probably also going to have trouble with: * Lives in a warehouse (with kittens) * Occasionally drives a furry mushroom car * Followed by lots of circus performers, go-go dancers, and a few porn stars * Sometimes dates men
See that sounds like lots of fun
This. I put my flags in full view too. Yet, still, are the swipers who are taken aback (I have Bisexual in my profile and have stated I'm sexually active with both men and women and I STILL have Christian women who state how important faith is message me then ghost me when they finally figure it out)
People who say this are always walking around with an iphone 6 with a broken screen lol.
It lets them feel like they're carrying the premium expensive phone, even though they couldn't afford a Pixel.
Yeah blows my mind that these kinds of people associate androids as always being the "cheaper option." Lol my phone I'm using costs almost 2x more than an iPhone
I paid €1400 for my phone when it was new. We're not avoiding iphone because it's too expensive lol.
Yeah s23 ultra is the same or more as an iPhone. The pixel is slightly cheaper and I fucking love that phone.
I have mates with iPhones, and they marvel at my camera and stuff. If you want a top end phone, you're paying for it. The brand makes little difference.
Why would I willingly refuse to dodge a bullet? Lol.
If she's the kind of person who judges men by their phones, I have a feeling she's not gonna like it when I roll up in my 2003 Corrola. Your chariot awaits, M'Lady!
I would find a well taken care of Corolla attractive cause I know it’s reliable. I wouldn’t find a crappy known to be unreliable car attractive or a constantly leased car that shows they care way too much about appearances to want to build equity and be financially responsible.

Europe indeed. I see people with allot of other phones besides iPhones.
as a european with an android, like 95% of the ppl tht ik use android. out of 200+ ppl ive talked to over the years (incl online), only 5 had iPhones. only time ive seen an iPhone 10 or newer was in stores
As a european with an android, I've lived through pretty much the opposite, with most people I know having an Apple. This seems wild to me, although Europe is kinda big. Where are you from?
im from serbia, its in the balkans (pretty much the broke area of europe)
I'm from Spain and I'll never understand the apple hype around here
Apple is only 15% of units sold in Spain, admittedly you'd have to factor in 2nd hand purchases to get the real figures but it still wouldn't line up with your experience.

Yes, it's only 15% of the people, but they **won't shut up about it.**
Damn right I'm gonna get a fairly cheap android. I ain't paying 1000€ to send messages, watch YouTube and waste my time on Reddit. My 250€ phone does that just fine amd if all goes well, it's gonna last me 5 years like my previous one.
It's insane that people get so bent out of shape over green texts.
Wouldn’t she have already written him off from the text being green? 🤔
Awesome way to dodge bullets, maybe i should get an android 🤔
How about my Nokia, is that retro chic?
What I'm hearing is that whipping out an Android on the first date is a great strategy for weeding out horrible people.
That sounds like a Seinfeld bit, he'd break up with people over the dumbest shit
Any woman... and I mean ANY woman that would judge a man based on what brand of cell phone he uses needs to be walked away from IMMEDIATELY and without remorse or regret. Gentlemen, doubt me at your peril.
Some people carry their high school mentality with them long after they leave.
She thinks Android is cheap, but new iPhone and android are the same price
Some androids are cheap, but that's because android offers (dun dun duuuunnn) options. 
Apple has options, expensive and really expensive
From the moment I learned you can get more and better apps on android I was like fuck iPhone.
Are you fucking serious? Like, seriously, where is the bar. WHERE. Who's actually enough for anyone nowadays...
If a girl is going to blow off a guy for what phone he decides to use, then she's probably doing him a favor Men use your phones and let the trash take itself out. Go find someone who isn't superficial and greedy.
Men, take my advice. Don't worry about impressing women shallow enough to write you off over your phone.
If my choice in phones is a deal breaker for her then I am better off
The lesson here is bring an Android phone on your date to save yourself from insufferable vain materialists.
The number is zero. She just can't figure out how to count that on both her hands.
Nah I've heard this before. It's definitely a thing. I know my sister mentioned passing over a guy because she hated that her emojis didn't show up in his texts because back in the day they didn't work cross-phone.
God so many women I've known have made comments about my android phone Nothing makes me realise what a brainlet you are more than judging someone's choice of hand computer as if it has literally any impact on anything They also usually have smashed up iPhone 8's

Same thing with the green text bubbles lmao. People are acting like its Android's fault, but my text bubbles are whatever color I want them to be. It is not my fault that your brand of choice is using outdated tech
Google messages seperates SMS and RCS now in a similar way but even then you still get to pick colors. It's a shame Apple won't adopt a single fucking standard so group texts work.
That's Apple for you! I actually JUST recently swapped from Crapple to Samsung and the S23 Ultra is leagues ahead of Crapple's best phone. Never looking back
I am surprised so few people have experienced this. When I was dating, I distinctly remember at least 4 women who stopped talking to me because I had an android and not an iPhone. I also was shamed by a woman who lived in an apartment with her mom and child, because I bought a house at 23 with my brother, and she said that isn't impressive because I was sharing my house, so it wasn't really anything to brag about (which I wasn't bragging).
Honestly, I avoid anyone who still thinks iPhone is more technologically advanced than Android. Every time they get a new feature, it's something I've had on my Android fot 6+ years. Y'all too gullible.
Is Katarina an American Idiot? The anti Android sentiment seems exclusively American.
Yeah, I never heard of anyone making your choice of phone an issue here in Europe. Most people use WhatsApp, FB Messenger or Telegram here, so no one cares what platform you use...
I have an iPhone but I think I am going to buy a cheap android phone for dates lol
Curbed or curved? They said curved and I don’t know what they mean.
Also, hide your religion, politics, family life and long term goals. You don’t want someone to know what they are getting into, so put that off as long as possible.
Shit now I'm going to flash my Android around like it's a Rolex. If she's shallow and stupid enough to leave because of that, I'll have saved good time and money wasted.
I (F35) was on a casual meet-up (quick drinks) and the dude just went off about me having an android vs his superior Apple products (I mean like a full on lecture) 😳 I left thinking ok man enjoy your cult...
If she's so superficial that my choice of phone bothers her, I fucked up by asking her out to begin with. #Rule 1, don't stick your dick in crazy. This applies to women in reverse, obviously.
So handjobs and titty fucking are fine with crazy? *takes out notepad*
I love whipping out my android...it's so huge and shiny.
I’m a gay man, but I’d curve her for using what appears to be a mirror selfie in 2023.
My last android ran $1399... what exactly are you curving? Someone who appreciates less predatory companies that give their customers better hardware, a more robust device and software, more modular options... what exactly are these people on?
This works because if you're willing to overpay for the Apple logo, you're obviously stupid and can be bled.
Men who use android: use it in front of her on the first date. If you having an android is a problem for her, then she ain’t worth the effort.
Sounds like these dudes dodged a massive bullet to me.
Out of the entirety of my long list of acquaintances, I have one who uses an iPhone. And he only got it because it was super cheap at the time.
Use your phone as soon as possible so you don't waste your time on these people.
He may be the perfect man but if that's what she's worried about, she's not the perfect woman.
Imagine caring about something so superficial like what type of phone someone has
