I'm 38 but date girls in their 20s. I would say that every single girl I've talked to has at one point mentioned/joked that I use an android.
You can make of that what you will based on your world view. In my opinion, it is absolutely a slight negative to overcome. Tall +10 points. Fun cool car +5 points. Android -3 points.
- ljm 3y agoYou might consider that you're touching upon your 40s and you've chosen to date people almost 20 years younger than you, so you're just talking about the kids these days and not the attitudes of the people closer in maturity. Only it's the kids these days you're sleeping with.
- MarkMarine 3y agoThis weighting is off. Tall +1000 Cool car 1 Android -5 off the tall points. Need those first.
- talldatethrow 3y agoHah fine fine. But actually since she sees the android usually before the cool car (unless you literally post it), the android will hurt you before she ever gets to see the car. The truth is, once the newness wears off, even when you're tall, the android will be used against you eventually by most women.
- throwaway2037 3y agoWhy is this downvoted? LGTM -- looks good to me.
- stephenr 3y agoHave you considered that the problem is not which phone you choose to use, but the type of women you choose to date? I’m 2 years older than you, and it is frankly astounding and depressing that in your description of how women “view you”, it’s all superficial and materialistic factors. Maybe if you dated women who care more about your personality and less about what brand phone you use, you’d have more fulfilling relationships?
- talldatethrow 3y agoYou're 40. Unless you're also dating 30 and below, it's very possible you've completely missed the generation that started dating on social media, dating apps once they went mainstream (although I started on sparkmatch!), and texted constantly in the getting to know you phase.
- stephenr 3y agoI hate to be the one to break it to you mate but being overly concerned with superficial and material things isn't some new phenomenon created by smart phones or social media.
- lacrimacida 3y agoIts not a new phenomenon but Im sure it was exacerbated by it.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoAgreed. Making your users appear obnoxious to adjacent non-users is a marketing strategy that only works if you're Apple-sized, and being Apple-sized is a new phenomenon.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoTo be fair, based on the comments here Android users seem to be pretty good at being obnoxious all on their own. Like the one guy who swears up and down iMessage creates incels.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoYeah, but that guy is going above and beyond. Even just using iMessage as intended with a group of Android users causes you to inject superfluous noise into the chat. The whole point of having reactions as a separate thing from messages is that they don't distract from the conversation. Sending "X Liked: 'Y'" to every Android user for every iMessage user who likes something makes the iPeople look like a bunch of buffoons who don't know how to read the room and want everybody to know that they have an iPhone, when actually they're just trying to communicate. Apple is savvy enough to have avoided that situation if they wanted to, so you gotta conclude that it's part of the plan.
- callalex 3y agoYou have a veeeery skewed sample population there and probably shouldn’t be drawing too many conclusions from such a small minority.
- gcanyon 3y agoCurious why you don't switch to iOS since it's obviously impeding a goal you have.
- talldatethrow 3y agoI never said what my goals were.
