Yeah, wasn’t expecting to type that much lol. From the laptops I’ve come in contact with, none are as good as Apple quality wise and the few that are close (razor laptops) are even pricier because you’re paying for performance and quality. For $300 the iPhone pro max was the best option.

Apple haters are worse than Apple fanboys. Haters know just enough about electronics to know that apple is overpriced performance wise in certain areas, if they took the time and learned more they would release that quality actually costs money to produce and the price difference has to do with quality. If I’m building a pc, I’m going to spend a solid $200-$300 for a better case, cpu cooler, and fans. Why? Because the quality of a nice and good looking case along with quite fans is worth it for my needs. Why should I put that money into a better cpu or gpu when I don’t actually need it. If I’m getting 100+ fps on the games I play 99% of the time, do I REALLY need to spend an extra $200-$300 on an increase of 20fps when I literally won’t even notice unless I do a side to side comparison and actually pay attention? No, I don’t. What I will notice though is an ugly, low quality, and loud pc.
Apple chooses to allocate their production costs into a different field than other electronics companies. Your average computer user is not a gamer, so why would apple need to satisfy them? Why would they make a macbook air for example that is capable of playing video games, but not being as nice to the touch as it currently is? You think Samantha who is a 20 year old uni student gives a crap if her laptop can play red dead redemption at 60fps 1080p on medium settings? Of course not. What she cares about is how pretty the screen is, how nice the keyboard feels, how pretty it is, and if she can stream the bachelor.
I’m a pc guy and a gamer, but have a macbook for when I’m coding. Why? Firstly, it’s my favorite laptop keyboard and that’s the most important thing since I will literally be using it to type. Secondly, great battery life. Third, it has a nice screen which is super important when it comes to reading. Lastly, it feels nice to the touch. I don’t give a shit if I can’t play rust on it. However, apple haters will be like “ugh what a shit, overpriced laptop. I could spend the same amount for something that CAN play rust.” Sure, I could too. The keyboard will be shit though and bend because of cost cutting materials they use aka lots of plastic so I won’t enjoy typing on it. The screen will be 1080p (bc budget gaming laptop) with a shit panel that has terrible color saturation, contrast, and viewing angles, making reading small words annoying, but it doesn’t matter because it has a 144Hz screen so I can play my favorite fps smoothly. Lastly, I’d be lucky if I get 3hrs on a single charge when new, let’s not even consider how long the battery life will be in 2yrs time. However, it can play rust so you know… great fucking laptop.
I know I didn’t even touch on phones, but it’s the same exact thing. I have an iphone 14 pro. Why do I have an iphone 14 pro? Because I had a trip coming up in a month, old phone was on its last leg, my phone provider had a great deal where I could get a brand new 14 pro max for $300. All I wanted was a phone with a great camera. That’s it. Just wanted the best phone camera I could get. I payed $300 for the best portable camera for my upcoming trip to see my grandma and take nice photos with her before she dies since she’s 93 and in declining health. 10 years from now when I look at the last pictures of us, I’m not going to be bothered that I couldn’t get a bootleg app from the android store because I got an iphone. No, I’m going to be looking at that crystal clear and beautiful picture and reminisce back at that moment with my precious grandma.
Apple haters and Apple fanboys need to realize that there’s no “best”, it comes down to the individual use case. What’s important to you, might not even be blip on another person’s radar and vice versa.

For the record I still think it’s odd/naïve to be sleeping next to a person of the opposite gender out of choice. Regardless, I think you’re both young and dumb. I think you both learned a powerful lesson from this and I hope you both come out unscathed. From the sounds of it, you’re never going to make this mistake ever again, all you can do is learn from it, and move on with your life. I wish the best for the young lady as well. Some bad things in life can be for the best. This situation might have been what you needed to put your ass in place and prevent an even worse mistake. This event could have also taught her to be more careful which might save her ass in the future from an actual would be rape. Not all bad things in life are necessarily bad, sometimes those bad things lead to good things.

Did she give you any indication that she was into you? You know flirting, touching you excessively, you do the same thing with her prior, giving you “fuck me eyes”. Basically, did you both escalate to the point where you were sure she was attracted to you? Like would you have been confident that if you went for a kiss she would want it?
I’ll be honest, it’s hard to gauge how much you fucked up considering the circumstance. You two had been talking a lot, like bf/gfs do. She opened up to you and I suspect she had feelings for you. She wanted you to spend the night and laid mattresses next to each other. Now I have no idea if those were the only sleeping options, but, why didn’t she just sleep in her bed and you on the couch? Did she have to lay both mattress next to each other? To me laying mattress next to each other when not needed is fishing for something considering how long you two had been talking to one another. If she had been flirting with you, dropping hints, touching you excessively, etc,., then I frankly wouldn’t blame you touching her out of being an idiot. Actually, that was pretty stupid even if the situation was how I laid it out. You’d want to at least stare into her eyes and read her face if she was interested in you and then mutually lean in for a kiss, then escalate from there. You didn’t though, you just went for it and groped her chest which was dumb. I actually think if you went at it differently you two could have actually developed something for the fact that she said she didn’t mind you touching her boobs and the other reasons I mentioned. Basically, I think she might have been interested in you but was cautious not ready for anything and you like an impulse dumbass couldn’t respect that and jumped the gun before she let it known to you through her actions or words that she was interested in escalating things. You apologized and she’s upset. I would frankly drop it at this point. Leave her alone, talking to her anymore will only make things worse. If she wants yo hear from you again she’ll reach out to you. If that happens, all you can do is be honest and tell her exactly what was going through your head when it happened. I know a lot of people here are giving you a lot of shit, but while I think you did fuck up and did cross the line, it wasn’t out of malice. She was no angel herself. A woman doesn’t invite a guy for a sleepover, then sleeps next to him when she has an option not to do so (I’m assuming she slept next to you out of choice and not out of necessity), and not at least have feelings for him. You obviously realized your fuck up and maybe she can learn from this situation as well, like don’t sleep next to a guy you’ve been talking for hours everyday for months who you invited for a sleepover, and then slept next to him. People will say don’t victim blame, but being realistic she fucked too and hopefully she learns to be less trusting of men in situations like those unless she’s interested in him sexually. You feel awful about this, you don’t seem like a predator, just a young dumb kid, no reason to go off into the deep end and think of ending your life. You stopped after being told to do so. You have a conscious, you’re not a heartless monster. Learn from this, respect women’s choices, and don’t just assume she’s ready for something even if she seems interested in it.
