If You're Going To Propose, Keep It To Yourself

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I’m sick of watching guys making fools of themselves by staging a marriage proposal at a public event. I wish they’d do that nonsense in private.

First of all: Who the hell cares? I bought a ticket to watch a game, not some douchebag presenting a ring to his giddy girlfriend who keeps repeating, “Oh my god! Oh my god!” F~~~ you and f~~~ her. Put the sexy cheerleaders back on the court until halftime is over.

Second: Nobody likes to be put on the spot. If the woman isn’t ready for marriage, some people in the crowd will boo her as she runs away in fear. If she’s pressured into accepting the marriage, without putting some serious thought into it, there’s a good chance they’ll be divorced in a few years.

I think guys that feel the need to make a public spectacle of their romance are starving for attention, and they’re setting themselves up for failure in more ways than one. They don’t deserve cheers from the crowd. As far as I’m concerned, they should get chirping crickets instead. Personally, if I’m asking a woman a serious relationship question that has the potential of a disappointing response, I want to be the only one to hear that response.

Any man who does that deserves a ” Gee – you’re a really nice guy – but Chad gives me those awesome Gina tingles that you’ll just never be able to – I think I’ll pass”. The laughter alone would be worth the price of admission even if the game sucked.

They don’t seem to realize that movies are written and directed…unlike our unpredictable lives.

It is going to be more like “Gee, I need a wallet to support me so I can give up work and divorce rape him later. You don’t earn enough money for me to do that – I think i’ll pass”

For women, everything eventually boils down to Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

Really? I see these sham shows as an opportunity.

Shout out things like “You’ll be sorry!”

“I hope you gave a good divorce lawyer.”

“That ring is only the beginning of the things she’ll take from you!”

“Don’t say we didn’t warn you!”

“Marriage is for gays!”

You ever notice that it’s usually women and manginas who make the proposals a huge deal?

Women act like they won the lottery and watch a guy submit on his knees to ask for marriage.

Every woman is a slut, if you catch her on the right day.

If they are so intent on making a spectacle of their doom, they should just step out onto a train track.

[W]e are MGTOW. We eat shaming language like tic tacs.

I understand wanting to make it romantic and original, but wanting to make it public?
On the other hand – from a woman’s point of view nothing is more romantic than getting to be the center of attention of a huge crowd of people for a minute or two.

A longtime close friend of mine just got engaged. How? Bruce Springsteen concert, during the song “will you marry me?” Christ almighty. He’s the biggest blue pill dude I know, but also manages to be a very good friend most of the time. The upside is that he is a very simple dude who likes to live a quiet life, she is very traditional, and they both have no other options. Anyways, my testes can’t help but shrivel hearing these proposal stories.

I didn’t even have a ring or get on a knee when I proposed. I ordered a fortune cookie with “Will you marry me?” written inside, and swapped it with a fortune cookie at a restaurant. Lame, I know.
But not as lame as publicly humiliating yourself. We’ve already lived together for couple of years at that time and had a baby, so we both knew it was coming

I literally was waiting in line for a ride at an amusement park when all of a sudden I hear over the PA that this dude proposed to his girl on the ride itself and I’m like “Really?”
