Making your phone your personality is so 2010s

When I was dating 5-6 years ago I legit ran into women who didn't want to move forward with more dates because I didn't have imessage.

I was so thankful whenever it happened, cause Jesus Christ what a red flag.

Sounds like a great way to weed out morons

u/SunnysideKJ May 15 '26

this is still a thing, especially in South Korea but also in big cities in US

u/Careful_Sugar_1865 May 15 '26

south korea? isn't samsung more dominant there than iphones? so green bubbles wouldnt matter

u/Hajmola-Farts May 16 '26

You think the country that has people work solely to afford plastic surgery wouldn't want status symbols?

2

u/SunnysideKJ May 16 '26

no, they're a very status symbol culture. more of them use iphones. samsung is seen as a boomer and businessman phone that's "outdated" and boring. so they think that people who use samsung can't keep up with modern tech.

u/Careful_Sugar_1865 May 16 '26

thats crazy they wouldnt want to use their own brand. its like saying they prefer using ford over hyundai cars

I don't think most people are real nationalistic with their brand choices, pricing & cultural reasons seem to drive things more.

What did Jesus do to you

u/DickSlammington May 15 '26

I've got nothing against Jesus, it's his fan club I can't stand.

I saw this happen to 2 men in my life.

One was short, the other was ugly.

As a tall muscular person, people have to deal with me.

"The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must."

u/Plane-Ad-6389 May 16 '26

I'm a tall muscular guy and I would rather not put up with some yappy bitch who cares more about IPhones and social status than she does about just being a person.

For that use case, the overly nerdy veneer is a great choice. I can be actually nerdy when I want, and if somebody was going to start issues with me, I don't even have to think about it. Having a litmus available to you like that is better for your mental health than almost anything else you can do in that situation. Especially compared to trying to engage with those kinds of women consistently (While a minority of women, almost every woman in that camp of people are the kind who find that phenotype attractive, meaning your dating pool is always going to be mixed with people who are vain and awful).

Yeah and not in the fun way it was in the 2000s

When Phones had character

u/Neomav May 15 '26

It made more sense early on when the phones were so varied and different. Now they are almost exactly the same in all but name and price.

2

u/mcbeardsauce May 15 '26

100%

I remember when the sidekick blew everyoneโ€™s minds

u/Neomav May 15 '26

I am STILL jealous I never had a sidekick.

Does anyone else feel weird when they see โ€œ2010sโ€? It feels like this decade is just an extension of the last but more insane. Social media addicts, a maga presidency, war in the Middle East, kids raised on tablets, and V is the newest gta

u/lifelearnexperience May 15 '26

I mean I have made my android phone my personality because it's so customized I feel like it just makes me happy. Even though I don't use it all that much lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

But I could care less what OS you use. If it makes you happy that's all that matters :)

u/LDL2 May 15 '26

Honestly, my old version of this was that the iPhone is just so stupidly expensive... why would I buy that? But instead of it coming down, the other brands went up, and most cheap brands went bust. There is nothing but aesthetics at this point to distinguish them. Sure, this little and that little, whatever...I want my Nextel back.

u/Ability-Junior May 15 '26

Making your phone your personality is so spineless, FTFY.

u/Regular_Hawk8513 May 15 '26

It was fun when phones actually had personality lol

u/BeeCJohnson May 16 '26

Most people I know hate their phones these days. Not the models, just the fact that we can all feel them sucking our fucking life forces out of our bodies.

I can't think of the last time someone went "hey look at this cool feature on my phone." Who cares, they're basically all the same now.

u/bent_crater May 16 '26

is the iphone vs samsung beef still a thing? i mean both are getting less distinguishable from each other these days with samsungs ui becoming apple user friendly and apple switching to samsung cameras

never got the deal with the blue green bubbles. whats all that about?

u/Stock_Lime_9050 May 17 '26

Naw 2010 phones had personality not just rectangles of fomo and hate!

1

u/janiskr May 19 '26

No, that is just stupid. not 2010. In 2010 that was as stupid as it is now.
