Man Buys 99 iPhones to Propose to His Girlfriend; She Says No

If he was marrying a Naija Girl this wouldn't have happened... Lol

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?I

Whether our once-hopeful groom likes it or not,
pictures of the ultimately sad event (seen below)
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.
