If i were to put them on a scale, I'd put the black at a 9, and the white at a 10.

but the white is definately, somewhat a little girlyier than black.


kinda wanna swap, kinda don't. dam apple

Yes. If you get one, you'll definitely "catch the gay"!
For goodness sakes dude, it's the 21st century. Is a question like yours necessary? If you like it, buy it!
 
Women don't care about the color of your iphone.

On the other hand they do care if you are an insecure homophobic that thinks you will get labeled as gay for having a white iPhone.

Men that are secure of their masculinity are not thinking "will this make me look gay?".

Also as I mentioned in another thread, there are many rude and masculine looking men that are gay.


And the first ipods where all white.
 
To play devil's advocate:
This is probably apples to oranges, but compare one car color to another. Everytime I see a white Ford Mustang, I immediately think of a female driver; driver may or may not. Not being sexist or anything, but the car is a masculine-looking car (and a good looking one at that!), and white is the lighter color than say a more masculine color, like a black 'Stang GT.

So white may not be a feminine color, but it is the less masculine color the buyer could have chosen. White also goes better with pink accessories than does black.


I'd still probably buy a white iPhone 4 though (I'm a guy btw). :)

if you have enough swag to pull off a white suit, then you can also pull off a white iPhone

(HINT: all you have to do is not care if strangers who see you on the phone think you're girly. If they think a white phone makes a man less masculine, then they're the ones with a problem, not you)

yeah and usually when you really look at those people with that perspective, they are never what mainstream society would consider traditionally cute or attractive. You would never see those guys on the Disney channel or something. So that one insecurity controls the trajectory of their whole lives' systems of beliefs and opinions.

I think what your saying is...Zac Effron would rock a white iPhone!

amirite?
 
I have only my personal experiences to go by.

After 11 months and the 3 less than descent black iPhone 4's I had, I bought the white iPhone for my girlfriend. It was so much better than mine it was shocking.

I know that many will argue they're the same, but my personal experience reveals otherwise.

So much so, as much as I hate white, I bought one for myself. Covered it with a black case, and now I can use it for reliable phone calls. What a relief.

Finally an iPhone I can rely on and enjoy :)
 
My male gay co-workers all prefer the white, they were going "bananas" over it, they also mentioned they felt it was a good "lead in" to approach other men talking on a white iphone as though there was higher chance that man would be homo too.

I prefer the black, it makes me feel confident when I am in the presence of black people, I give the head nod and its ALL good.

You should concern yourself more with refining your spelling skills than the color of your iPhone.

Well, I can't vouch for other people. Colour can make an impact on one's preference or perception, depending who it is perceived by and how it is perceived. My point being, you can't expect everyone to think like you; despite if you think it's stupid or not, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and preferences.

That being said, I don't believe there is anything wrong with the white iPhone 4 for guys.

How is orange "girly"?? my iPhone is back with orange skins. For the SF Giants. Not "girly" at all. Anyone that uses that word needs to worry about graduating high school before coming on here.

I feel the same exact way with my black iPhone. I quickly whip my phone out, show them, do tha gangsta walk (if I'm feelin it), head nod, then go about my business.

I thought about using several names, but went with her - I'm pretty tired. How about Kate Middleton?

You mean Catherine? Her Royal Highness Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus ;):D
 
James Bond had a white phone, Sony Ericson though, in Casino Royal. If that's not manly then I don't know what is.

His love interest had one as well but that's beside the point
 
white iphone black iphone purple? who cares it's a phone, they all do the same thing.

no it's not the least bit girly, yes society has planted in the minds of people that color has an effect on how things or people are perceived.... it's rather dumb

yeah, i take issue with that as well. orange is a kick-ass color. purple too (unless it strays into the pink tones).

pink is the only real color that is almost exclusively associated with girls. someone further up said women don't care what phone color a guy has, but she would raise an eyebrow if a guy was using an all pink phone.
