It’s not simply an age thing. I’m in my 40s and have definitely witnessed the judgment in the dating scene.

    Ok, fair, I've been married for over two decades. I don't get why anyone would care though.

    It’s not that difficult to understand. An iPhone is a symbol of affluence, and that aspect is important to many people who are looking for a mate.

    Edited to add: And as dating has shifted to being mostly online, the first real connection you have with a potential mate outside of the apps is via text.
