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

I'd dump you for not knowing the difference between then and than.
Lol I'd look sideways at a dude with an iPhone.
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.
Her origin story:
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.
All my bitches use Signal
This goes too far.
Actually this is me and my fiance. She even offered me her old iPhone but I've used one before and it was just not for me, so I said no thank you.
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.
Maybe if you’re 15.
Shit advice. If my date dismisses me because of the phone I use, they are not worth pursuing.
If you are that desperate to get laid that you start tippy-toeing, consider paying a whore. Better for your mental health.
Alternate take: Buy an Android phone and use your green bubble to weed trash people out of your life.
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.
Which flavor do you think your average muppet is using?
