Today, Penny Parker (Rocky Mountain News, "On The Town") had the following under her signature column wrap up, EAVESDROPPING:
"Eavesdropping on a woman's Facebook post: 'I want to date an iPhone guy but marry a BlackBerry guy."
That, my friends, is the way the new generation sees the age old situation.
1940's: date the musician, but marry the veteran.
1950's: date the rebel, marry the insurance executive.
1960's: date the guy you met at Woodstock, marry the guy you met at your parent's country club.
1970's: date the protester, marry the tax payer.
1980's: date the guy with the biggest hair in the band, marry the guy in the preppy polo shirt who held your hair after the big night with the band.
1990's: date the dot-com rebel, ....ummmm well, marry the dot-com rebel. The 90's were a strange time.
2000's: date the iPhone, marry the Blackberry.
Too recent?
1500's: date the cute, smelly stable boy on market day, marry the guy who's father is a merchant or a knight.
Who you marry says a lot about who you are, and what you expect from life. I don't think there is any getting around this, it's just the way it is - and society has always had certain standards that 80% of the population aspire to.
My own take on this, and my advice for anyone looking for stability and happiness in this world of chaos and foolishness: date the guy on facebook, marry the guy on LinkdIn. Some thing make all the difference.
For me, I have to agree: Blackberry trumps iPhone.
You?

Definitely! Being that I have my own BlackBerry, I should be two steps ahead on this mission, no? Does it put me behind that I'm only on Facebook and not on LinkdIn?
Oh, honey, I'm not on LinkdIn either.... I just want my responsible partner to be covered if he needs it!
Date the guy you met at a bar. Marry the guy you met in grad school.
I really like this post!! Any tips on where to find the Blackberry guy.
