You're asking this in an age where it is common to see a metrosexual male than it is to see some burly man wandering around? Nice. Is the box that you live in nice?

If you truly think the white is more "feminine" then explain the MacBook and iPod. In all seriousness I quite like the slick white, but then again I guess that means I'm feminine. ;)
I think you took me the wrong way or answered the wrong post here if you are referring to my "women are superior" quote.

As much as I put it in there just to stir things up a bit for a laugh. I actually do believe it 100%.

Even though I am a male myself (and hetro if that matters at all), I think the evidence on the whole points to females being superior to men in almost any task as well as in just plain old body design and toughness (mental and physical).

It's true that there is a narrow range of tasks (mostly tests of brute force) in which a male can excel at, but if males and female were different product designs, the female one would be the obvious "better design."

Males are a mutated "special purpose" model of the female so as to aide the procreation cycle. Unfortunately, procreation and "blowing stuff up" appears to be our only truly unique "talents" (if you want to call them that).

:)
 
Agreed. Although I prefer the white iPod classic over the black.
And I think the white Macbook looks better than the black.
But this white iPhone, just not feeling it.

I agree too. You knew exactly what I'm going to say. But I'm disappointed that they didn't have the aluminum 3G IPhone! :mad: So I'm just going to get the :cool: black 3G Iphone:apple:;)
 
White is going to be found the better choice due to smudges, fingerprints, and plus scratches will show up easier too. White is not feminine. It looks more clean and catches peoples attention. Fingerprints, etc. will not be seen as easy on the white then the black. Don't get me wrong, Black is a very nice COLOR (not colour) but it will get "worn" quicker. I had a Video iPod that was black and it scratched very easily and you can see them. I would look at my friends iPod, which was white, and it looked fine. Yes, I know the backing is probably a different "plastic" than the old video iPod, but still. So, in conclusion, white is the color preference for me. Though, they might look different up-close. ;)

Oh and one more thing, Virgil-TB2, this is a f***ing forum not a College AP History class. Damn, who cares. ITS ALL ABOUT COLOR PREFERENCE!! No one wants to hear about so called facts and s**t. What, do you get all your info out of a book? Come on!
 
I was going to respond to this:

You are right of course but what are the odds that the MacRumours forum poll (and a couple of other internet polls that basically come up with the same numbers), did not contained exactly the same bias gender-wise as the answers were colour-wise?

It also kind of brings up sexism again in that your rebuttal implies that tech sites have a huge imbalance of users in terms of gender. Possible, but I think it's a bit unlikely.

but given this:

Males are a mutated "special purpose" model of the female so as to aide the procreation cycle. Unfortunately, procreation and "blowing stuff up" appears to be our only truly unique "talents" (if you want to call them that).

I see that my efforts would have been wasted. :eek:
 
I wonder...

I wonder if some women are worried about the black iPhone making them look too masculine. "Does this phone make me look like a lesbian?"

In any case, other people's perception of your masculinity (or lack thereof) will be far more affected by how you're dressed and how you HOLD your phone and use it, not by the color of it. If it comes down to the color of your gadgetry then your masculinity is already compromised.... :p

I myself initially preferred the look of the black iPhone, but the smudge-hiding capabilities of the white is tempting. I'll go with my impulse when I see them in the store on the 11th. The whole thing is a slow-motion impulse buy for me anyways, so why suddenly try to have logic overrule my whims now?
 
I am starting to like the white iPhone a lot. I don't care what anybody else says about this but if I will buy the iPhone, I will buy the white one. :) It looks more unique to me than black too.

Your dad is white.:D
 
I'm also a man and am planning to get the white one. I just need to see one in person to make up my mind. I think my only concern is that it will look weird having a white back and black front.
 
It doesn't look one way or another to me. Personally, though, I think I would choose the black version.
 
I am a normal masculine guy and I like Apple's white products because they stand out from all the other plain computers and gadgets and look nice and clean. I like the fact that they are different. But I want to see them both in person first because I think it might be odd to have only the back white like two toned, so I might go with the black. I'll have to wait and see.
 
The white one will definitely be nice and shiny and match your finger nail polish. j/k :) I actually don't think it's feminine at all. I'm leaning more towards the black one but wouldn't mind having the white one.
 
It all depends on which phone looks better with a lot of "Cell Phone Bling" from Claire's glued on the back.
 
im going to buy a white one i cant wait! been waiting for awhite iphone since release of the original one !!! whoot whoot
 
White is ok by me but much prefer black. I'm just afraid I'll walk into the ATT store and hear "sorry sir but we're sold out on blacks just whites left" lol
 
Doesn't the black one look "too common" and not unique anymore? The white one is a refreshing look though.
