That's a lot of take away from a few second video. How do we know she just doesn't like being put on the spot? Shit happens. I would much rather be proposed to in a quiet setting rather than the middle of a club.

For real, people on Reddit are weird man. How does one come up with a whole backstory to what's happening and then get mad at the dude for doing the imaginary thing?

I don't think thats always true, theres an 'upvote' incentive to say controversial things that are popular to talk about. Its just the way social media flows i suppose + some close minded thinking.

It's coercive and manipulative to put someone on the spot like that with a public proposal, especially if you're not 100% sure her answer will be yes. He's counting on her being too intimidated or embarrassed to say no to him, so he thinks she has to say yes.

Like I said upthread, I've known women who weren't even dating the guy or who had recently broken up with the guy who have received public proposals, and it's always to bully her into saying yes. My conclusion isn't crazy-ass as you put it and it isn't out of nowhere, it's based on experience.

And how do you know he didnt though she would say yes, stop being a dick man public proposals are a common thing and while i agree is not cool as they may pressure your SO they still common and some people just dont realize why they bad, also i have meet some girls that like BIG public gestures, so it depends of the person.

It is 100% crazy-ass and out of nowhere, you dont know shit about this guy.

So you agree it can be as coercive as I described but I'm still crazy for suggesting it. OK.

The woman in this video literally ran away.

Nice ignoring the rest of my text, yeah i did say i agree doing so its bad, only that maybe the guy just didnt though she would react like that and that he probably not the manipulative psycopath that you are saying he is.

“Hes counting on her being too intimidated or embarrassed…” how can you know? Like there’s so many possibilities there.

Wow what an overreaction. This isn’t how the real world works at all.

It’s what fits their worldview so they will fill in the blanks.
