To you beautiful Portland girls; you’ve got to stop with the cell phone action. All the text, twitter, and facebook updates are just sad.
We had a really good thing going on, but your incessant, obsessive, dependent connection to your digital life was a deal breaker.
I understand that your texts/status/connections are important to you. I respect that. But when we’re together it feels devaluating.
When the cell phone interrupted our meals, walks, games, mornings, and talks it became detrimental.
And I told you honestly how I felt. You understood, and promised to change.
You didn’t, and I called it quits.
Maybe I wasn’t that interesting. If so, well, that’s okay. But it did make me sad, as you cried, that you couldn’t just put the phone down and interact.

IT IS BECAUSE YOU WERE BORING.
“…it feels devaluating?” Are you kidding me?
Yes, it’s annoying, but by stating it that way, I’m surprised they didn’t pretend to have an emergency and leave. Step up and be more engaging.
Fake. Passive aggressive bullshit.
well most girls are quite insecure, thus hyper-socializing adds a sense of confirmation and validation. women have always felt inferior so the need to offset that with excessive socializing (regardless of the moment) is always going to be there. it’s just what makes girls who they are. i tolerate it knowing they do it not out of rudeness but out of fear of being alone and insecurity.
That sexist spin was meant to be sarcastic humor, right?
no.
PUT THAT PHONE DOWN! THAT PHONE IS FOR CLOSERS ONLY!
@1. Whoa, hit a little to close to home. Just because you’re an insufferable AA interweb whore doesn’t mean you gotz to project bro. Quit hiding the truth from these good people. Maybe, like IA, your lady would like you to put the phone down.
i have, on more than one occasion, walked out on people who are more connected with their phones than the present moment. If we are out to spend time together, whether a friend or a lover, and the phone device cannot be shut off for an hour to engage in conversation or enjoy a show, then BYE! Fortunately, there have only been a few, & the lesson was learned. Seriously rude.
Yes, I agree with this post. It’s fucking rude. It’s one thing to answer a couple texts, but the constant bombardment of ZMOG I JUST ATE A WAFFLE!!!! is tiresome.
However, this totally goes both ways. Social networking attention seekers are usually of no determined gender.
I know some dudes who update just as much as some ladies.
And to respond to Arenit: Way to make sweeping generalizations. You come off sounding like a chauvinist ass.
Yeah, i didn’t really see how this sort of behavior is exclusive to females, myself. Guys do this shit all the time.
Sometimes my partner and I text each other while eating together in busy restaurants. I think it’s cute.
Sorry, what? I was putting a picture of my drink on Instagram.
All the time I eat with a large group of people I Instragram my dessert and I send it around to my friends with marks on what lenses and fx I have used and they do the same.
