Thought I wanted rose gold...but then decided it wasn't me liking the color as much as me wanting to show others that I have the new iphone. I decided to go with a more subtle space grey
 
A woman can get a silver, rose gold, space gray, or regular gold iPhone and nobody says anything. A dude decides to get a rose gold iPhone and suddenly everybody loses their damn minds.

I was waiting for somebody to post a joker gif. High five to you for being awesome

I know TDK isn't "fashionable and hip" anymore in 2015. I guess the kewl kidz post gifs of Avengers or Fast and Furious these days. But for me TDK will always be way cooler.

Men can wear pink shirts but as soon as they buy pink 'accessories' people are going to comment. I wouldn't get a pink phone, not because it's 'gay' but because it's girly *in my humble opinion. I do think that a lot of men are choosing this colour purely because it's new and therefore 'proves' that they have the S model and not the 'old' i6.

It will be interesting to see who buys pink next year when it's just another regular colour...

No one sees anything peculiar per se about any of the colors for a woman.
 
Only cuckolds get their iphone in gold/rose gold. There, your panties in a knot yet sissy?

Seriously what is it with people insecure about their masculinity and iPhone colors?
 
It's definitely a feminine color. I wonder how many of these manly men's would have their trucks painted the same Rose Gold.

Nothing wrong with men favoring rose gold iPhones for whatever reason, but you cannot get around the fact that it IS a feminine colored phone no matter how copper you claim it to be..

Tbh, it should be that way for both men and women. If a dude wants to get a rose gold iPhone, then he should be able to do so without getting **** from other people. If a woman gets a space gray iPhone, I see no reason why a dude can't get rose gold. It's just a color. Not a sexual orientation changer, for sobbing out loud.


"You got a rose gold iPhone, omfg you're gay hahahahahaha" and those type of comments are from fully grown adults, not 12yr olds.


And the ironic part that many seem to overlook here, is the iPhone is consider by quite a few to be a "girl phone" or "soccer mom" phone. Hell the OG droid commercials were marketed towards guys, while labeling the iPhone a "tiara wearing, beauty pageant queen" of a phone.
 
Lighter Colors / Curvy Lines = Feminine (not gay)
Darker Colors / Straight Lines = Masculine

Matte Rose Gold appears more pink because it does not have reflections of dark objects like "shiny" rose gold does.

Yep, iPhones are gay and pink iPhones are über gay.:D
 
Just order whichever color is available, and then put a big ruggedized case on it. Nobody even sees the color unless you're carrying it naked.

Do men with pink iPhones prance around without any clothes on? :eek:
I guess it figures.:D
 
I like the rose gold, I just can't get on with a white bezel. If they offered a black front with rose gold back, I'd buy it.
 
I like the pink iPhone to be honest. I'd never get it because the girls I get with use pink and I don't want them to think I'm not into them. But if I had a choice I would seriously get pink. Right now I'm gold. Pretty happy with it. The silver is meh and the space grey is pretty nice.

You do realize that by them thinking you're not into them, they'll be into you even more, right? It's how it works. Haven't you seen Clueless, Mean Girls, She's All That, or any other teen chick flick? LOL
 
I just want to hit heads with a hammer for saying this color is anywhere close to being a girly color! I recently got my phone & no one, literally no one thought it could be perceived girly in any sense! I can't believe that people are still discussing this stupid obnoxious topic!
 
Only insecure adults rip others for what they choose to spend their money on and only insecure people care about what other people think about what they choose to buy. Man up - do you! Enough of the adolescent generalities and immaturity.
