I'm from the UK and it's very negative. People are insecure and usually just follow the norm. Otherwise you will have "the lads" out beating you down with some banter so they can gain validation from their peers.

The type of smartphone you use isn't a truly important issue either, or whether you prefer OS X over Windows. However, this whole forum is pretty much devoted to such topics...
The color is pink. In my opinion, the only reason people are buying it is to show off that they have the newest iPhone. It's pretty pathetic actually.
Let them. Don't let it get to you. Life's too short
Pink phone is pink, sure its some specific shade of pink but it is what it is. I also think its a nice color, but I personally went with Space Grey.
Also we should all stop getting worked up over every prejudice that exists, it exists and will continue to exist as a basic human instinct. The point is not to let it get to you especially when it is not causing any harm or infringing on the rights of others. Learn to pick your fights

That's very unfortunate, and quite sad.
Agreed! But there are also a lot of really good people on this forum who are interested in genuine discussion related to Mac tech, fortunately. But I could do with a reduction in nonsensical forum discussion/opinions, to be sure.
Great attitude. I'm sure we all have bought something, at some point in our life, for that very reason. In a brand-conscious society, it's difficult not to. In the end, it doesn't really matter (to quote Linkin Park).
That would have been funny about 30 years ago. You must live at the North Pole. I hear they don't have many gays.
So true. I've seen a number of RG iPhones now, all owned by women. The only time I've seen any mean near one was in a mobile phone shop & for all I know they were just trying it out not necessarily buying it.
Mind you a lot of guys use cases so the phones could be any colour underneath.
My wife has one, it's pink. There's nothing wrong with it and I think it's an awesome color. I'd consider buying one if the bezel wasn't white.
I don't need someone else to tell me what color phone I should get. I love my RG 64gb 6S+ and don't care what others think. I'm the one using it not them.
It's not pink, please don't try to tell me what I am or am not seeing. It's copper in almost all lighting conditions.
In your opinion it isn't pink.
In nearly everyone else's opinion, it's pink. There's nothing wrong with the color pink. The phone looks good.
The pink iPhone I find effete; therefore, I wouldn't buy it.
However, there is no legal reason why a man cannot use a pink one.
Similarly, if Apple were to bring out a blue one, a woman would, in theory, be allowed to use it.

As I male, I own the Gold Rose, it's a very nice color. I'm not embarrassed or self-conscious about it. Now, if it's facing artificial light, I notice that it looks like a copper color. I had the White iPhone 4, Silver iPhone 5S, Silver iPhone 6 Plus, Gold iPhone 6 Plus and now a Gold Rose iPhone 6S. It's a gorgeous color; however, I also have a dark blue Apple leather case on it as well. I like it.
I'm a guy and I came this close to getting a Rose Gold, but I didn't get it, only because my first choice was the regular gold, and it would've looked weird with the case I had already purchased. I thought I could hold out a little longer and get that, and it actually worked out. At the time I located my gold iPhone, had it been a situation where only Rose Gold, Silver or Space Gray was available, I likely would've gone with Rose Gold. Silver is kind of plain.
Perhaps, but if you take it out in public, then others have to endure the colour.
Spare a thought for others.
Knowing Apple and based on their recent color choices if they ever produced a blue iPhone I have no doubt it would be a sky, powder or pastel blue. Probably lavender. And then we would get a flood of threads debating it's manliness or lack thereof.If it were a pretty sky blue, would a man be allowed?
I think the study should be about any color iPhone. Apple devotees are the only smartphone owners I know that are so bloody sensitive, and emotionally connected to Apple and the silly phone. You'd think their life depended on all aspects of the phone being just so.
