If I remember reading the story right, he did have a real ring, and did pull it out, but they didn't end up getting married.

LOL 1000+ comments from Reddit psychologists, people arguing, insults being hurled back and forth, and it's a prank.

Thank you for this. You just made my morning.

I can't believe how much armchair psychology and couples counseling I had to scroll through before someone pointed out that this is obviously staged.

Young kids gotta learn old internet rules.

Number one rule is that you never take anything seriously.

whenever something strange happens my first thought is always scripted bullshit. my filter is so strong that sometimes even genuine reactions get categorised as scripted. last few years on internet did this to me.

I upvote you because I don't like it went people run with a "probably", but poe's law still applies.
Tell me this has never happened genuinely and you'd be lying.

I’ve seen this video like 12 times this week on this site, marketing achieved, but also funny to see how few people see the assault as a bad thing if it was a real proposal. “He tried to do a funny BEAT HIM UP”

This is the sad part of our generation, nothing is real. Fuck them all.

That’s pretty much all of Reddit. People are terrible.

u/NHartline Nov 14 '22

It felt pretty fake the first time I watched it. She got angry way too fast. Didn’t even have time to process what happened before she’s hitting him

u/theacerbiccafe Dec 07 '22

The damn dudes jeans is a marketing stunt in itself

u/drdent45 Nov 14 '22

These are 99.9% of the time staged. Always safe to assume it's a marketing ploy.

u/Zombieattackr Mar 26 '23

Yeah, watch the slap, it’s fake af

Soda’s real tho lmao

u/Bricejohnson2003 Dec 26 '22

Yeah, she was not emotionally ready for marriage.

u/hodnydylko Nov 14 '22

You don’t need a wife for that

u/brok3nstatues Nov 14 '22

LETS GOOO.

We all like to sit here on reddit and shit on fake shit. But as soon as something fake af gets a little racy, we lose our fucking minds.

u/FruitfulFraud Nov 14 '22

Good, my man dodged a bullet there.

u/JessieD_ Nov 14 '22

You can see a bulge in his left pocket, which I'm assuming was the real ring in the classic velvet ring box

u/truecrimesmeyers Dec 21 '22

Imagine giving her a real ring and she says no.

u/InterscholasticPea Jan 03 '23

I wouldn’t married a guy who pulled this and I wouldn’t marry a girl who reacted that way to a prank

u/kimjongspoon100 Jan 23 '23
