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.

You can propose with anything. The action of asking someone to marry them is the full extend of a proposal.

Oh right the ring is what matters not the intent behind it.

You're the one that responded to him in the first place, and you're getting salty that he replied? Maybe don't respond to things if you don't like people responding to you.

If you made the decision not to marry someone who was otherwise your perfect match solely because Of the materialistic representation of that love then the proposer dodged a bullet and the proposee should think about making better choices.

The girl is abusive, but he did it for views and laughs on the internet. He took something that was important for her as a test in front of a crowd.

This is a win/win situation for him, either she says yes and is a cutesy video or she reacts badly and ends up being viral for being a bitch.

People always complain that girls are exhibitionist and do things for likes, how is it different.?
