Men with the Rose Gold iPhone

Because deep down lots of blokes do feel it's a feminine colour, but really want the new phone to "show off" or just have the latest thing that's special.
I asked my wife how she would feel if I got the RG and her reply was quick and to the point - "NO. Embarrassing. It's a woman's colour."
This is Japan so there is a far stronger demarcation between feminine and masculine along traditional lines, but it was kind of funny that for somebody so casual about most things, she was firm on this.
I was never getting one as I personally think it's a lairy colour. Most lairy colours are hard for the majority of blokes to pull off if they don't have sartorial sophistication or aren't celebrities.
But what does that have to do with anyone else? If someone wanted to buy a certain color just because it was the latest, why should anyone else care? Is that person hurting others by making that choice?
It's got to be exhausting, constantly policing other people's choice of phone color.
Because for many (not all) the intention is based on the perception of others. They want people to notice them. Therefore you can't expect people not to judge when you yourself have based your choice on wanting to be noticed.
yeah
alot of women i've spoke to him the same feeling..right or wrong.
my mum bought the rose gold and GF just ordered the rose gold..so i can see why people would think so.
The best reaction is to just... not... notice them.
Basically, you're saying that they just want attention. If that bothers you so much, then why keep giving it to them by talking about them at all? Why not just completely ignore that they exist and deprive them of the attention that you claim that they seek? Then you can sit there and tell yourself that you're "the winner" and that you are better than they are. (And honestly, isn't that what this is really about?)
Oh boy! Another thread on men and Rose Gold!
Two things that will survive a nuclear holocaust: cockroaches and posting "Rose Gold Is OK for Dudes, Right?" threads.
90% of iPhone users put a case, so why the big HYPE about Rose Gold? Remember the way the iPhone is designed, it is so damn slippery you have no CHOICE but to put a case on it so you can grip it by the edges and not be scared it won't fall out of your hands. So in the end nobody will know which color you have if it's white in front(Gold, Rose Gold or White). Of course if it's black in front, everyone knows it's the Space Gray.
I'm a dude and I've already been criticised about having a rose gold 6S plus. Im not the type of brother to care about what others think. What kind of life would I love if it were based on the thoughts of other people?
I'm glad I got this colour cause it's a sign of the new iPhone 6s Plus.
Go figure lol.

haha... Mate, easy, I think you're the only one getting bothered here. And I was just trying shed some light on possible reasons why people might be getting the phone. But if you disagree, that's cool, no need to start getting aggressive about it. Because really, do I think I'm better than some bloke with a pink phone? That's just carrying on like a bit of a goose.
But if you look just above, Sekelani has illustrated my point perfectly. Just sayin'... He's being honest about it. That's cool.
Lol, I peeked and popped this thread with my pink iPhone. I wasn't going to comment but I had to.
No doubt when Apple comes out with a color (with a black bezel!) that I like, and I decide to get it, there will be so many people in here telling me, "You're just getting it so people know you have the new phone." I was tempted to pull the trigger on the Rose Gold, but the white bezel and the fact that it doesn't really look as Rose Gold as I would like killed that.
Sure, some people buy phones based on what other people will think of them, but most people just buy what they like. After all, there are still plenty of people buying gold and silver phones.

My boyfriend and I didn't care for the color. It looked bubblegum pink 90 percent of the time. Did a swap for gold today, and he got the silver. Much better.
What has that got to do with anything? And if he doesn't want them to marry its not your business.
Just like if a man wants a pink phone it's not your business. So why vocalize that you think it's wrong?
Well, I wouldn't be caught dead with a pink phone, but if the some 'modern' men like the color, that's cool I guess.
