#1 is great. A gold digger (and a low intelligence one at that) waving their red flag at first contact.

No, #1 is "this is his burner number"

Even in the US the epicenter of apple market share there are as more androids than apples meanwhile few people even cheaters who have burner numbers.

Seems like premature analysis which would be better and easier done after more conversation rather than prejudging half the population.

It's the opposite. You're now missing out on the valuable signal of whether someone is obsessed with wealth and class or not.

Women who are in their 20s or 30s and at least moderately attractive are deluged with male attention. It's not necessarily irrational for them to use quick and dirty filters, even if that often produces false positives.

its 2022 you can with a few minutes work probably figure out way more with his name and adress.

Why? That's a very stupid criteria. You'd want them to marry smart and decent guys, regardless of their wealth...

"Smart" and "decent" are desirable qualities, but it is questionable whether or not they can provide a better life for a woman than wealth. Poverty is known to be a true killer of any kind of romance and love. It doesn't seem far fetched to agree that being wealthy and enjoying a stress-free lifestyle can be an aphrodisiac. Also, I think that poverty is actually more correlated to stupidity and rudeness. I've read th…

I guess I know whose daughters I won't be dating.

You don't have unlimited text messages on your mobile plans?

I've never ever heard anyone care about, discuss, or even mention chat bubble color. All of this sounds like something that only US American teens and kids would react to, like they judge people by their skin color or what kind of clothes they're wearing.

That's an odd way of proclaiming your lack of finantial assets.

I agree that this is a middle school level analysis, but I've seen it a couple times in practice during my career. 1. In the dating scene, I have heard women remark that it was a red flag (Android users are stereotypically poor... despite a large number of techies using Android) 2. A manager at my old company was advised to get an iphone for communication with VCs. One of our old leaders had heard commentary from a V…

> despite a large number of techies using Android I use an iPhone. Not for any philosophical reason. I tried switching to android 3 times over the years since the first iPhone came out. Same plan, same provider, grandfathered in, same house, same spot. Each android phone did not get the same level of cell service in my house as the iPhone. I have side gigs I do contracting for, I have had cases of missing calls where…

> After the 3rd attempt, last being a nexus 5, I gave up.

coincidentally i think the nexus 5 was also my 3rd and final android. i actually really liked that phone. then i took an international flight and after landing it was suddenly bricked. wouldn’t turn on at all. so strange.

> 1. In the dating scene, I have heard women remark that it was a red flag (Android users are stereotypically poor... despite a large number of techies using Android) This is a red flag against the women in question, not the Android user. That attitude/behaviour is a great indicator of a gold digger. You'd be dodging a bullet by avoiding these women. The only other people that share that attitude are teenagers. So if…

I have 4 daughters. I hope they marry rich guys. I have other criteria, too, but rich is definitely on the list.

I hope your daughters all find love and live happy, fulfilling lives with partners that have no cases on their android phones.

If she does not need to deal with people who might have a burner number, she would be stupid to deal with people who might have a burner number

That sounds very strange to me. Where do you live? I'm from Belgium, and basically with any decent job you can afford everything you need to be happy.

I have 3 daughters and 1 son.
