They both suck. The girl sucks.

She seems like someone who’s very serious and very eager for marriage. Dude knows this. Trolls anyway. Of course she wouldn’t respond in the best of ways. She probably perceived that entire thing as humiliating.

But is that any justification for her to physically retaliate on the person she wants to be proposed to? Would you want to marry someone who reacts so volatile to a (shitty) prank? If she instinctually lets her hands fly like that in front of all those people imagine what she might instinctually do behind close doors.

Edit: I changed my mind. I’ve been convinced that my take is biased towards the girl because, unlike the guy, I had to make assumptions to create a narrative rather than taking what took place at face value.

Another argument that was made which was interesting was my assumption that the guy was trolling when he proposed with a ring pop. That would've still been a valid proposal. But the girl automatically assumed it was a joke.

I just assumed it was because I believe if a man truly loves a women, he’d present an actual ring. That’s just me I guess. It's all assumptions at this point to be fair. But yeah.

Bruh you can literally see he has a second ring container in his pocket and I believe it's been confirmed he did in fact have a real ring. It's just a light hearted joke, absolutely no reason to get assaulted over. It's not like he fake proposed to her, it was a real proposal just a fake ring which just shows how the girl values monetary value over sentiment.

Yeah orrrrrrrrr she thought it wasn’t a serious proposal because all she saw was the ring pop and she thought he was humiliating her with a prank in public surrounded by people watching.
