Ruining chances at a second date or eliminating time wasted with pretentious arseholes?
> To a certain type of gadget user, an Android smartphone is a symbol of defiance. These users see Google’s software — its customization options, hardware affordability, and no-frills design — as the perfect refutation of the sterile, mass-marketed appeal of Apple’s iPhone.
I've used Android since some of the earliest versions and while this may have been accurate at on point it isn't now. Google is quickly becoming the poster boy for orwellian corporate control and I'm looking for alternatives.

I have an opposite reaction. Whenever I see somebody pulling out an iPhone, my
first thought is that he/she is probably just an idiot who can't do sh&t with
their computer with a cellphone attached, and only carry it for showing how
cool they are by possessing such a branded and trendy gadget. I have similar
thoughts, but much less intense, for other smartphones of the big brands.
This reminds me of those gold digger videos on YouTube. Guy asks nice girl for a date and she brushes him off. When girl sees guy get into his super car she suddenly changes her mind. Guy then hands girl a shovel, calls her a gold digger and drives off.
If your second date is conditional based on the type of smartphone you have then be thankful for bypassing that world of misery.
