papalazarou Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I must admit I dont know why people wear mobiles in those stupid leather pouches on their belts when out and about. Different when you are an engineer on call... Keep it in your pocket.... Link to comment
indiegirl94 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Not a deal breaker or anything, but I do think it's kind of dorky/cheesy. It reminds me of my dad too...not something I'd want to think about on a date. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think it can look kind of dorky, but I think that might be due to age. I'm 19 ... no reason why any guy I date needs to have his blackberry clipped to his side! Now, older men I think it's fine. My dad has one, he also gets an e-mail every 10 seconds! I don't think I would care much either way if he needed a larger phone and put it on his side. Ok, dorky for younger guys, fine for older guys. What is the cut-off point? What is the minimum age one must be before it goes from dorky to fine? there you go cpc. are you going to be conducting business when you are out trying to pick up on chicks? Of course not, but why have 2 phones. Personally, unless it starts making noise, I don't pay any attention them (mine or anyone else's). It is just too silly of a detail to worry about. Why give any thought to something so indifferent to a person's character. Link to comment
Dako Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 LOL! I had a belt clip for a week and felt like a 53 y/o dork. No offense, cpc, just my own take. Link to comment
jordan1234 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think if you are out or on a date with someone, in no way shape or form should you have a cell on your belt.... If you even bring your cell, then keep it in your pocket on silent... I have heard many girls say that it looks dorky on guys when they wear cells on their belts... Link to comment
jenny_mcs Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 This is a funny thread. I have to say- I find it pretty dorky when men have cell phones in those leather pouches clipped to their belt. I, like Dako, put it in the same category as a pocket protector. I mean, during the work day, around the job, I can see why it's necessary. But at a club? Or out to dinner? Unless you are waiting on word about your sick grandma or are expecting to be notifed that you have just won the Nobel Prize-----cheeeesy. Link to comment
Brooke657 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm obsessed with my phone it's always with me but yeah the belt clips are really lame. I just keep mine in my bag or my pocket. I don't care if a guy has his phone at all times but if he's on it at all times then yeah it would bother me. Link to comment
PittItaliano Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I always have my phone with me, so why shouldn't the guy I'm with get to have his on him too? Whether it's in a pocket or on his belt I don't care. I just get annoyed when my boyfriend will answer his phone or keep texting people while we are out together. Either that or it will be on vibrate and I can hear the stupid thing go off every couple of minutes whether he answers it or not. It's a little annoying. Sometimes I just wish he would turn it off completely when we are out. I turn mine off or put it on silent when I'm on a date. Link to comment
EvaGina Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I dont like those belt-clip things... but meh... better than having all that radiation by your testes I suppose... Link to comment
JadedStar Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok, here is an intresting one. I was reading an article (I believe it was in men's health) about tips in dating, clubbing ect. One of the things it said was, "leave off the cell phone". Basically, the article was saying that women tend to find it unattractive for a guy to carry a cell phone on his side. Ladies, I have to ask. Is this really true? Do you ladies put so much attention into such an insignifigant detail? Please keep in mind that the article was NOT talking about making or receiving calls, only about wearing it on the side. Please do not turn this into a thread about using a cell phone. I don't think wearing it on one's side is rude but it is nice to turn it off. I know that was not the question, but just throwing it out there anyway. I think that article meant to turn the phone off and the wearing it on the side as the article intended means if you are wearing it with it ON. If it is off, I cannot see why a woman would be turned off just to SEE it there hooked to someone's belt. Even woman have their phones hooked to a belt or their purse. It's no big deal I would think and I am not sure I'd be crazy about a person who could get turned off over such a minor thing. It could potentially say she is going to be a nit picker.

cpc28655 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I dont like those belt-clip things... but meh... better than having all that radiation by your testes I suppose... Lol. Radiation was only a problem with the OLD phones like the brick, or the bag phones. They gave out 3 watts. The newer phones only put out about 1/2 watt. So, unless you are either a lab rat, or have the phone implanted into your ear, there is no cause for alarm. Link to comment

Please keep in mind that the article was NOT talking about making or receiving calls, only about wearing it on the side. Please do not turn this into a thread about using a cell phone. Yes, it is unattractive unless I meet you during working hours by accident or we meet on your brake for lunch or something. But meeting you on a date and you having that giant phone on your waist....not a nice picture. It is repairable, but you immediately have 30% lower attractivness in my eyes (so you need to make more effort to get me interested). I am 26. You're 28. So we're almost the same when it comes to our age. My associations are: - you want to brag how important your job is - you want to show me how you earn a lot of money - you are somewhat of a geek (non inventive, all by the book guy) and possibly a snob. - you have no sense for fashion (me being from europe immediately imagine you meeting me for a date with a grey suit, black shoes and white socks, wearing white slip panties that need to be washed at 90 degrees and ironed very carefully and carying a laptop Now I am shure you are not like that so if you want to avoid that image, buy a small mobile for dates or you can carry this one too, but not by the belt and when you're on a date it is polite to turn it off (unless the young lady is turning you off lol) and you can leave it in your car (on a place not visible from the outside) - with other words if you're not making the calls or recieving them during the date like you implied, whats the use of having this teleporter on your waist? ;-) my suggestion Samsung SGH X-820 ( I was always very happy with samsung) link removed Link to comment
