Is there anything not masculine about pop sockets? I love them since I don’t like cases and it helps grip the phone on the train and jogging. Plus I love using it as a stand. However, I don’t really see other guys using them.

I’d say that if you value how society views masculinity more than your own personal preferences and enjoyments than you’re thinking about it wrongly. I am not a typically masculine man and have lots of interests that are outside what are typical masculine interests, but it doesn’t really bother me.

They're really really not a masculine vs feminine thing. Maybe the reason you don't see as many guys using them is because our pockets are more likely to fit phones well to begin with, and pop sockets get in the way of that?

I've seen plenty of guys use them

I’m a manly man and used to have one on my iPhone that had the logo of my old company till they fired me and I ripped it off. Was super useful though

I'd guess most men put their phones in their pockets and the pop socket would be cumbersome in that usage.

I think mainly a lot of people with small hands use them for added stability when holding the phone, so ig the implication would be that you have small hands and obv there are connotations there. Idk tbh to me it wouldn’t rly be anything I’d consciously register, but it undeniably would be noticed by some people.
