This is a red flag against the women in question, not the Android user. That attitude/behaviour is a great indicator of a gold digger. You'd be dodging a bullet by avoiding these women.
The only other people that share that attitude are teenagers. So if you go along with this horseshit and buy an iPhone just to feel more comfortable dating, you're courting women with the maturity and intelligence of the average teenager.
- geoduck14 4y agoI have 4 daughters. I hope they marry rich guys. I have other criteria, too, but rich is definitely on the list.
- pertymcpert 4y agoHow rich?
- varjag 4y agoiPhone rich.
- taskforcegemini 4y agoso, only posing as rich is enough?
- FrozenSynapse 4y agoWhy? That's a very stupid criteria. You'd want them to marry smart and decent guys, regardless of their wealth...
- bheadmaster 4y ago"Smart" and "decent" are desirable qualities, but it is questionable whether or not they can provide a better life for a woman than wealth. Poverty is known to be a true killer of any kind of romance and love. It doesn't seem far fetched to agree that being wealthy and enjoying a stress-free lifestyle can be an aphrodisiac. Also, I think that poverty is actually more correlated to stupidity and rudeness. I've read that stress can literally make your brain shrink from the excess of cortisol. Rich people are generally labeled with undesirable properties, which (at least in my case) often comes from a personal bias - it feels unfair to watch someone else have everything I want, so at least they're a bad person and I'm not, so I got that going for me, which is nice. --- To sidetrack a little bit: > That's a very stupid criteria. This is completely redundant - your point would be perfectly conveyed without this sentence. HN guidelines phrase it this way: When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
- heatstroke 4y agoI guess I know whose daughters I won't be dating.
- bheadmaster 4y agoThat's an odd way of proclaiming your lack of finantial assets.
- M5x7wI3CmbEem10 4y agoone of the best comments I’ve read on here. kudos to standing tall in the face of disagreement
- stirfish 4y agoI hope your daughters all find love and live happy, fulfilling lives with partners that have no cases on their android phones.
- koonsolo 4y agoThat sounds very strange to me. Where do you live? I'm from Belgium, and basically with any decent job you can afford everything you need to be happy. I have 3 daughters and 1 son.
- naikrovek 4y agothis is not indicative of a gold digger. holy hell. this is indicative of someone with poor judgement AT MOST.
- FrozenSynapse 4y agotrue, this is not indicative of a gold digger, it's indicative of stupid for sure
