If I had a dollar for every "green bubble" comment I got when I started texting someone from a dating app, I'd almost be able to to buy an iPhone

- Meekro 3y agoWait, so this is a thing in the real world? I thought it was just people on Twitter being dumb. Like, prospective dates are judging you on your brand of phone? Maybe I'm just too old now (mid-30's) but I don't even know what kind of phone most of my friends and acquaintances have.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoYES. It is ABSOLUTELY A THING. I personally haven't dealt with it, but I personally know people who have. They tend to skew younger, and it's a big deal in middle/high schools. Kids will actually bully other kids just because they have an Android. It's pathetic that Apple marketing has worked so well at convincing people that they're the luxury product.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoWell, at least it was innovative, you could bend an iphone way before the "fold" series phones from samsung :)
- Rebelgecko 3y agoIt's usually half joking but people remark on it more often than not. Part of it is because they're not used to communicating with people outside of the Apple walled garden, so there's some extra hurdles for video calls, sharing photos, things like that.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoOn the plus side, someone seriously thinking having an Android is a red flag is a red flag on its own. If I started talking to someone and they said "Ew, you're on an Android?", I'd be like "Oh, you're like that. Nevermind then. Good bye!"
- qazxcvbnmlp 3y agoIts more of a test than a judgement. How does this person own one of their choices vs automatic red flag. “Ew you’re on an android” “Yeah, I like it” “Well how am I supposed to text you” “Idk guess we’ll have to spend time together in person”
