Best not to show your phone on a first date. It is like talking about religion here in San Francisco. Apple verses Google is like Allah verses Yahweh. You may not get laid.

I mean, shouldn't really be looking at your phone on a date anyways unless it's pertinent to whatever conversation you're having...

Do you want a partner that uses social signaling as a criterion for picking their partner? Especially one as meaningless as that?

I think you’ll find it’s impossible to find a human being who doesn’t use any kind of social signaling

I signal that phone superiority is stupid by not owning one.

We're saying that phone as a social signal is dumb, not social signalling as a whole is stupid.

That's not what the comment I'm replying to said

"Do you want a partner that uses social signaling as a criterion for picking their partner?"

Pretty much but people fight wars over the perceived differences.
