He got 99 iPhones but gettin’ hitched ain’t done.
With “Singles’ Day” looming in
China (Nov. 11), one man thought the time was right to try to tie the
knot with his girlfriend, preventing them both from having to
participate in any future 11/11 festivities.
As a keystone of the young
programmer’s marriage proposal were 99 iPhones 6’s placed on the ground
and arranged in the form of a heart. The setup, as reported by The Nanfang, cost the love-bitten chap two years’ salary (about $82,000).
But that evidently wasn’t enough. She said no. Siri, how do you mend a broken heart?
Whether our once-hopeful groom likes it or not, pictures of the ultimately sad event (seen above) are up on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo.
But of course, with a bushel of
iPhones that size, we’re not convinced he has any real reason to feel
too bummed. According to a recent survey, one in five men would actually rather have an iPhone 6 than a girlfriend. And that number is even up from last year’s survey about the iPhone 5s, where one in eight said they would forgo the soft touch of a woman for a new Touch ID-equipped Apple phone.
So, whether our crestfallen man ends up hawking these phones one by one to make back big bucks,
or just decides that 99 Siris are better than one real wife, we get the
sense that he’ll be OK in the end. Remember, it’s better to have loved
and lost 99 iPhones than never to have loved at all.
