I like it too and I'm considering getting it. I was told it comes with one of these instead of EarPods, though.

For me and the culture revolving around me I believe it would be too girly/metro.
I'm going w/ white&silver.
TS just ask females around you and they can help you decide how they perceive the color combo since each place has different ways of looking at colors, especially gold.
Another thing to consider, I think gold will have less appeal when reselling, how many macho type men, or office worker type people will want a bling gold phone? (Other than places like India and China where gold coloured items are seen as higher quality).

Ask a female this and you can be sure you won't be getting laid from her!
Women don't care what color iPhone you have as long as you are confident. My god this forum needs some serious therapy lol!
wow macho men, IDK you were all about the Oedipus complex...
Color choices & what they represent are cultural, you should save and travel.

Huh?
I should travel? I'm born in Sweden, lived there many years, been all over Europe, Asia, America, and parts or South America. Nice try making some strange point again.
A phone is only girly if you make it girly. If some girl were to give you crap about the color of your iPhone, self deprecate and take the joke away from them. Make fun of it yourself or make a corny joke. Jesus Christ I can't believe I'm even saying this. You guys are lost in your head
If you buy this phone as a guy, you will be sharing the same choice that the most fashion-conscious women will buy I see the color appealing most to women who like to accesorize their jewelry with their bag, phone, etc.
If that doesn't matter to you, go for it! No one can change what you like, right?

Yup...girly. Any man who has a gold phone will have their private parts fall off.
Trust me...I know these things.
Don't buy a gold phone!
Remember...private parts...OFF!

I'm white.
A black friend of mine said the only reason he wants a 5S is because its gold.

Not girly, but it would make you gay

You guys all need a little of this.
Girly, no. Ugly and tacky, yes.
Never understood the whole "white is for girls" or whatever. I've go back and forth between white and black all the time. They way I look at it, black = oily dirty, fingerprint, chip magnet, white = clean

I managed to get through 15 seconds of the video, and then dumped it in service of my sanity and continued appreciation of actual music.
So...what was it supposed to tell me!

Lol. Keep going through life self concious over colors and styles. But remember, nobody actually cares. Free your mind!
By the way, I've played drums for 17 years and been in a band for three ish. I also play guitar. Obviously I have an appreciation for real music too, but your problem is just ignorance.
. Cheers

Thanks so much for the advice about not being self conscious about color and freeing my mind.
And please accept my sincerest apologies for being so ignorant...I'll try to be less dumb in the future.
Let me suggest that you acquaint yourself with the concept of irony, which I thought was astoundingly and unmistakably obvious in my post...
I've always had the same thinking, but the white is becoming compelling from a design perspective. The contrast looks good, it looks nicer on iOS 7 and the silver ring creates a much nicer contrast. I'm torn.
