>women can find you unattractive if your phone is not the

Here is the thing if a roastie won't date you because of your fucking phone then good riddance.

>>34857845
dude women can find you unattractive if you don't make your bed every day

>>34857845
Every day the shallowness and materialistic nature of society continues to vindicate my hatred of it. I blame social media and women, but mostly women.

I don't think its the fact that you have an old phone that makes you lose dates, more of the culture that you live in that has having an old phone being ok that is making you unattractive.

I'd date a guy with an iPhone 5 or higher, but anybody with an iPhone 4 or earlier would set off red flags for me.

>>34857951
Why? He doesn't bother to get the new, barely different version of something as unimportant as a fucking smartphone, so it's a damn red flag? What is the actual effective difference between an iPhone 5 and an iPhone4?

>>34857845

I have a bar-shaped phone with no fancy features. She doesn't like it? Buy me a new fucking phone and pay the bills, then.

If that's how it is these days, count me out.

Complete BS. a classmate has an iphone 4 and does really fucking good with girls vs this fucking souchebag with a 6s can't get online traps.

>huer 6s don't count you must have the 7 one

Lol the iPhone 7 is so fucking autistic. That pic is pretty much,

>if you aren't yield cucked by the shittiest cellphone company on history you are a virgin lol

>>34857973
iPhone 4 is slow as shit if he's been upgrading iOS (not even sure you can upgrade to the latest one on that old phone). Having a clunky phone that works slowly, has apps crash, can't load various modern websites without slowing to a crawl...is not good or fun for anybody. If he can't afford to upgrade his phone, (should be cheap if he's paying the phone bills), then I can't imagine what other things he's not going to pay for.

If things get serious and we move in together, is there always going to be a bunch of old shit that "still (barely) works" that he doesn't want to replace because he's stingy or poor?

I wouldn't turn a guy down on a date because he has an old iPhone, but I'd certainly assume that he may be either cheap or poor until I find out otherwise.

>>34858070
he probably just doesnt care to get a new one because it wont make a difference for him

The iPhone 4 runs pretty slow. Lots of incompatibilities too. I think most people would want to upgrade pretty badly, and if they had the money they would.

Of course, what you said may also be true.

I suppose if I got wealthier to comfortably maintain my lifestyle and support another human, then maybe, but I'd still rather have a relationship on equal footing.

Its not about the phone, its about my future kids having a father who can't keep up with the times. Marry a guy like that and you just know you'll end up boiling your own sewerage for drinking water

So what you're saying here is that you don't care that being poor may or may not be something he can control, and just because he can't empty out his wallet to give you 1% tier betabux you won't give someone the time of day. Were you born wealthy or did you earn it? And if the latter, who did you spread your legs and unfurl your smelly cunt lips for to do so?

>>34858399
I work a decent full time job. Mid-twenties, just short of six figures.

I don't want anybody to empty out their wallet for me. I'd love to be able to split payment for a meal at a nice restaurant, rather than have to pay for his. I don't think most guys enjoy having everything paid for anyway.

It would be nice if we could say, share the same gym membership, rather than him having to use a budget gym (or me pay his gym fees).

Of course, if I fell head over heels for some guy, maybe I'd change my mind, but I'd rather date somebody with similar means as mine.

If you think that makes me a bad person, then I suppose we disagree.

If a woman refuses to date you because she's more concerned about your belongings than you as a person, she's not for you anyway. Simple as that.

Shallow women are literally just filtering themselves out at this point. They're stopping short of wearing a baseball cap that says, "DON'T DATE ME; I'M A HUGE BITCH"

>>34857845

Basic biological shit.
Value of women = Youth and fertility
Value of men = Possessions/Territory and security

The same shit happens with money and cars; women who earn more or have a better car are way less likely to date men who earn less.

When people see your old phone there's a tiny voice in there head "mine is better than yours" which boosts their self worth.
Women do not date others who they deem to be worse off than themselves.

That's not really what the study says, though. Women who use outdated phones are less likely to go on a date. This could be because men dislike women with outdated phones, yes. It could also be because women who use outdated phones tend to be older and hence not in the dating pool.

The same of course applies to men, but as this thread has shown there is at least one person who is willing to judge a man based on his phone.

I think this is fair enough.

Up until the end of last year I was walking around with an inherited iPhone 4 (because i'm a poor NEET). In December I had to go into the city for a few things and I realised that literally 95%+ of the people I saw had vastly better phones than me.

It's basically THE device that you bring out in public - it's as much as fashion item as anything you wear, and its an indicator of social status and access.

Status symbols are just that, indicators of one's place in the social hierarchy. Having the latest of the most expensive phone displays value whether or not you came about it honestly or easily. On the surface it means that you successfully navigated the current culture well, therefore you are a viable breeding partner.

You may dislike, but biologically speaking it is perfectly normal and expected. A few thousand years ago it was probably shells or a horn or a hard to acquire fruit or something.

You are so cucked and you don't even realise.

I don't get the outrage about this at all.

I can see why it seems shallow on the surface, but status is somewhat important in the adult dating world. I get that we all want to imagine that things work out like a Disney romance. However, it can be important for both women and men to do their best not to fall in love with somebody who is going to make their life more difficult.

Nobody is saying they'd break up with their SO because of an iPhone. Rather, they're saying that a person's iPhone is used as a measure of status, and thus is taken into consideration when measuring up a *potential* mate.

To say that a woman or man should not even consider the status of a potential mate is, frankly, unrealistic for most adults.

Using a non-functional phone is a daily inconvenience. Somebody who is willing to put up with that inconvenience might be having financial issues or perhaps is simply stingy.

This may be taken into consideration upon measuring up potential mates. Nobody is suggesting that people would be right to judge the entire value of a person on the phone they carry.

Tbqh, if I don't get a date, it will be because of my repulsive personality and not my outdated phone.

>>34861640

I'm not saying they should be... but it's a good indicator. I had an iPhone 4 because i'm genuinely poor as fuck. I'm poor as fuck because i'm jobless, etc.

Think about it this way. Most iphone users prefer iMessages significantly over normal texts. Normal texts come in as this ugly green colour, while iMessages are a nice blue... you get notified the moment someone is typing a message with a "..." buble, which makes the whole experience more like a real live conversation. You can get read receipts, etc with iMessage - so I know firstly that your phone got the message and secondly if you've read it... the whole experience makes a vast difference.

Now all of what i've described is available on the iphone 4... but there are significantly more features and so on that aren't.

The iPhone 4 TODAY is like using a 486 Computer in 2004, it's beyond outdated.

so how many women of substance has this method attracted?

Maybe that "shallow trash" is just animals in a game they don't understand following their instincts. Those instincts tell them that a violent ape with a shiny phone is better for strong offspring than a weaboo with no prospects who could barely fight a cold.

Not calling anybody out, I'm in the latter category. But I think women are just following instinct that, while cancerous for civilization building, feels right in the moment.

I've slept with almost seventy different girls and I've had a fucking $19.99 flip phone for like, the past four years.

Good lord.

>>34861649
the main problem I have with this is the stupidity of this status symbol. I don't like status symbols in general, but they ought to at least make some sense.

I get gold and diamonds, they're shiny and have monetary value, but apple just rides a wave of "omg steve jobs was a revoluzzer genius" until it will finally crash at some point. this company does nothing better than other companies, it's just overpriced bullshit along with walled garden technology which aside from some touch-display shit could come right out of the early 2000's.

it's all just popular by force of idiots

>>34858070
Why don't you buy new things for a change???

>assuming I want other people to see when I am typing

see, that is why you fags are anti-privacy, and privacy <-> dumb normies forms such a nice political spectrum which I increasingly use to measure instead of outdated left-right notions along with other axes

>why not value this point at all and instead try to make it as popular and normal as possible, which conveniently always means we get to monitor people more in an unholy alliance of normals and corporations

Flip side of the coin is people are entitled to have an opinion. You wouldn't have a problem with it if they had a favorable opinion/judgement of you.
But yeah a lot of females being bad judges of character isn't anything new.

>>34861649
>However, it can be important for both women and men to do their best not to fall in love with somebody who is going to make their life more difficult.

It honestly depends on what people consider more difficult. A lot of the shallowness really isn't about making things more difficult it's about cementing social and economic class in place. which people have been doing very effectively for decades.
Not to mention it is rather stupid technology is replaceable and a means to an end, it's like having a nice car doesn't make you a race car driver. Having a nice computer doesn't make you a computer scientist. Having a nice phone doesn't make you whatever they think that does.
The real outrage is probably because it's a economic thing and the girl is a gold digger needing the latest version of whatever, all things are cheap and disposable not just the item, it seems like a personality characteristic. There has always been an undercurrent of disgust from most people towards wasteful consumers like that seen as stupid, and compared to zombies just animated bodies looking to consume more and more without thought.

no, but it makes you look like you're trying. Ya'know, signaling and whatnot

It used to be that bragging was looked down upon. This was due to years of society building and the recognition that such practices destroy social cohesion. Jealousy a bitch. We have thrown that out due to our comfy lives and the tendency to regard old wisdom as crap.

Also, I'd like to point out that memephone cases have a hole to show off your apple logo...so that's a thing

>>34857904
This, it defines you as a person, and who you are is what girls find unattractive.

I think that study is accurate, but draws the wrong conclusion - it's not the phone, it's the person who uses it. I think it's that people who have older devices are more likely to be robots, or people who don't put a huge emphasis on mobile devices, because usually they get their entertainment from non-social sources, and so don't see the need for a more powerful mobile device - after all, what's the point of having a $600 phone if you're not going out all the time and using it? It's not that women find the older devices unattractive, it's just that people who have them are more likely to be unattractive to them.

I'm still using a first gen Moto G, and I've just wiped it and reinstalled my apps every 8-12 months or so. It runs well. Literally had a Nokia brick before this. No fucks given. I care about how up to date my computer is much, much more. I'm pretty unsuccessful with women, though.

>women can find you unattractive if your phone is not the current gen

then fuck those bitches and find someone who won't judge you for something so materialistic

modern smart phone keeping up with the jones culture is fucking mental.

Well I have a 4s for playing Ps1 games on and a 5 for psp and other games. I got a flip phone for calling cuz that's all a cellphone is meant for, to call people when you don't have a land line.

>>34857951
its still a phone tho and by apple wtf is wrong with an i phone4?

>>34863960
Why not just get an Android phone that can do all of those things at once? Seems counterproductive.

iPhone 4 can't update to the latest version of iOS plus you'll run into a lot of app incompatibilities and a slow web browsing experience. It also uses the old 30 pin cable rather than the modern lighting cable.

Truth, great reason to own a flip phone.

This thread isn't exactly proving that theory wrong though. It's only 9am est in the U.S. so this thread must be largely dominated by Europeans.

>>34858462
Your arrogance and pompousness seemed to indicate that you are a really well off person, when in reality you are just as much of a pleb as everyone else.

And to think that a sub 100k yearly is anything to brag about, with the aditional clearly conspicuous consumption mindset, you are in for a surprise in your old age.

Stop being a retarded cunt, a realize that if a guy has something that meets his needs, than its nobody bussines buy his own.

>>34862875
bragging has never been looked down on, only females that dislike a guy no matter what he does are like that. an attitude of superiority and condescension. most zombie consumers have it and that's sort of where the other part of the anti brag crowd comes in which sees zombies with high tech gear and no real idea how to use it on more than a superficial level like running an app.

I dont have a phone I just whip out my ThinkPad with Gentoo installed on it to message someone and they drop pants

So that's what you think a chad is? But I still keep seeing anyone who have has sex one time or people who have their act together get called chads. Also that's a very comical way of thinking of a chad.

>>34857845
I'm not sure how this study was done, but I'm guessing it's just a correlation, not causation. Wealth let's you acquire a newer iPhone, and it lets you acquire other status symbols that women care about more, like good fashion, nice house, etc.

>>34864620
No matter what bait says saving money is always good. Also unless your phone is broken then there is no reason to go pass a iPhone 5 unless you're getting "free" upgrades.

>>34864661
I agree. As an iPhone user my main point is that a 4S or below is too outdated at this point. No 4G and the old 30 pin connector especially.

>>34864639
>people who have their act together

therein lies the resentment. The subjectivity of the popular definition of success is what pisses most robots off. A world that asks a person to "be themselves" and by "themselves" they mean as close to how most people are acting as possible i.e. right clothes, right car, right phone.

Nobody really likes individuality unless you have the looks to back it up. Be yourself means be like a better looking person, I mean, you still won't get any but at least you won't be annoyingly individual. Somebody's gotta be the loser.
