This is a serious question. I want to get the green iPhone 11, show it to my wife and she said is kinda “feminine” for a man. What you guys think?
Hell no. If anything, it’s masculine. It’s Army man plastic green.

Edit: I thought the question was about the iPhone 11 Pro Midnight Green, not the iPhone 11 pastel green.

It is kinda more feminine, but also very fresh and perfect for a human, who is happy/friendly/full of life or wants to show some color in its life.

You should order if it is your favorite color. :)

I don’t judge this question. We live in a society where others can be quick to scrutinize. I get the natural reaction is to to ridicule the OP for ‘caring what others think’ but he has that right.

Personally I like that color and it’s probably my favorite of the 11 series. Hell I’d get a pink phone if it appealed to me. Enjoy the color you like and don’t look back.
 
This question is merely a joke. After all, even if gender stereotype is encouraged, I do not see midnight green as a feminine color. Just like Rolex, it’s geeen submariner is a popular classic watch amongst men and even some women. In luxurious brand, ordinary green color is a different story.

Every year it seems it’s the same thing, sometimes about gold, sometimes about rose gold, sometimes about another color. Every year same “discussions”.

Well either you are a lesbian trapped in a mans body or you simply like the color. Maybe both.

All kidding aside I would have to agree. However, if I was making the color selection that is how I would narrow down my choice. With that said, I know some of my friends look great in colors I don't. BTW I do wear pink, lanvendar and a similar green polos. They look stunning with my white ceramic watch and complimenting bands.

Wrong green. OP is questioning the iPhone 11 green.

Probably you should ask yourself a question, probably ur wife is more ‘manly’ than you. Hahaha.

That's the iPhone he was looking at. The 11 green, not the 11 Pro green.
Oh ****

Nah, it's fine. Just don't put a pink case on it or flowers or something like that. Skip the skinny jeans. Unbutton your shirt and show your hairy chest. Be a man...

OK.... now that I've read all the rest of the posts.... I say it depends on where you live. Seriously. If you live in coastal local or the bay area of california.... go for it. If you live in NYC or NJ. Go for it. If you live in middle america or away from the coast of cali... upstate NY, the south, then don't buy it.

Still. It may not be a masculine blue. But a colour is a colour, and if you like that colour then who gives a damn if it's more feminine to some people, you like it and that's all that matters.
I’m with ya. Several posts above I suggested the OP not worry about anything other than his own preference and acknowledged it’s my favorite color of the iPhone 11 series. In the post of mine you quoted, I was just pointing out it wasn’t the midnight green being referenced. I’m in full agreement with you.
 
Wait... this is not a troll thread? Am i in the wrong movie? :D

of course this thread is a troll thread.
but not a troll thread in the usual meaning.
some people's existences are trolled lifetimes.
asking another person if an object you want to buy looks too feminine means that the asker doesnt have the ability to carry it off anyway - to be able to stand apart from any non-traditionally held conception by mass society.
asking another person that question is just confirming you dont want to reveal what you yourself already in fact think.
asking his wife this question or asking this forum this question means he wants approval to buy it in spite of his own cultural self-understanding of the implications for this kind of colour.
his question was:
quote:
Can my sexuality be questionable by getting the green iPhone
endquote.
the answer to his question is: it is you yourself who are questioning the implications of this colour. so the answer is yes.

not all men who wear pink shirts look feminine in them.
only men who are feminine look feminine in pink shirts.
