New marriage proposal standards

I said that before I saw the actual video, and I must say that it is indeed out of context. I was expecting something more glamorous, like this wedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJWlavnM6b0 >___> but I admit I shouldn't have made that strong of a blind judgement about this particular wedding. I guess I was speaking more generally. But then again, whether or not it is perceived to be corny by anyone else, if the gesture is in fact genuine, then that's that. I would be frustrated if a personal decision like that was up for criticism by tens of thousands of people (poor celebrities).

This proposal is a towering mountain of bullshit spewing shit-slides from every crack as a shit-blizzard rages at the peak. It has to be one of the most disingenuous attempts at pretending to share a bond I've ever seen. Even before it started, one glance at the guy made it clearer than an acid lake that I was about to see some hipster ****stick propose to an abysmally vapid doe over a backdrop of fake enthusiasm and the tears of people who aren't gigantic ****ing posers. What I didn't count on was the droning car ad music and poorly choreographed dancing that would've been damn near impossible for a person with twice my patience not to skip over. Gimmicky "look how ****ing adorable and in love we are" viral-by-design fakey feel good trash like this is why marriage these days is considered more of a running joke than a legitimate bond.

That is what I think of this thing.

Oh, Tell me more about how much you know this person from a 5 minute video, you must be a God, because you can analyze someone's characterisitcs so thoroughly. Teach me your ways.

Oh, tell me more about how people are really complex and hard to pin down within three minutes when you have info as revealing as the way they make the most important decision of their lives down to the smallest detail.

But no, yeah. I must be a god. It takes a god, of course, to come to a conclusion about two kids with a car trying to impress the internet with a cheap indie-themed proposal. I don't know how I'm doing it without a team of engineers and psychologists behind me. Certainly, the time I've spent learning to identify and avoid exactly this kind of superficial bullshit combined with 25 years of human interaction in general doesn't provide any insight. Give me a second to find my social science texts and compare control groups and~

This was kind of neat I guess. I've seen better though.

EDIT: One of my favourites.

LMAO


this was pretty cute imo i fail to see how it's some sort of ridiculous indie showboating proposal, it was meant to be personal and make her happy. the fact so much effort was put into it just makes it a lovely thing to receive, the whole process, is just joy-filled. sure, she could say no. the song even says just say yes today tomorrow if you wanna leave, that's ok. let's just have fun today. and do something dumb, like get married.

there's a lot more to a relationship than the proposal. i prob would have cried my eyes out if that were me, even though that's not my style, lol. anyways judging them on it is just sorta gay. you're not the one that was being proposed to so w/e. cuz yea, it is an important moment. which is why he did it in a way they'd like to remember it. you just don't get it man......

Idk how she kept herself together, I would have been a sobbing mess lmfao. That was adorable.

Yes, us girls are all the same. I like that because you said so.
Oh wait, I'm forgetting that I dislike the idea of a public or even semi-public proposal. But I guess if you say so, I guess I like it. I guess.

Well, I guess I left out the part where any girl *who has the decency to appreciate a man's hard work, would love to have such thing done to them.

This guy is putting all this effort just to propose to his girl and he most likely spent days planning this out. All that matters, is how much someone cares about a relationship. Not your little pet-peeve like omg i dont lyk publik propozals!. You can dislike whatever you want, but you can't dislike a well-thought-out proposal that was done from hours/days of work and effort.

[Cavernio]

lol sure I can
Why would a man who wanted to marry me and who I wanted to marry propose to me in a way that I found uncomfortable and kinda dumb?
If my fiance had proposed to me like in the video I'd...god, he just wouldn't have done that. I'm not sure you'd be able to pay him enough money to do something like that then post it on the internet.

Also love how you emphasize appreciating a 'man's hard work', as if once more delving into the gender stereotypes that I had an issue with in your first post in the first place is somehow going to appeal my sense of decency or some such.
