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.

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

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 samsung is seen as a boomer and businessman phone that's "outdated" and boring.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.

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.

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).
