    lets be honest....these flash mob , and other stunt marriage proposals are getting out of hand and lets say it...stupid.

    these guys are just attention whoring.

    You don't understand some women, obviously. Some of us love this kind of thing. The more creative, the more we love the thought and planning that went into it. And this way, there's a video to show family and friends (which you didn't think about when you made your comments on the one on FB). Some women would prefer a quiet, just-the-two-of-them proposal. I want mine on the jumbtron at an Eagles game. I want him to tell the world that he loves me.

    Marriage is between you and your spouse, not everyone else.... Are they going be there for the rough times too, nope.

    i think proposals should be private and intimate.

    to me the dudes are attention whoring. all that broadway stuff is for the birds.

    No, the dudes aren't attention whoring because the attention is on her and her reaction. He does it to surprise her and show his love for in a grand way. Like I said, you don't think like a woman. You may like private and intimate. Choose a lady who does as well. But other couples do it differently. Just because marriage between two people is private doesn't mean the proposal has to be. The wedding ceremony usually isn't either.

    Ok, I have been engaged twice and both proposals were very private and a romantic moment just between the two of us.

    I really loved that, but some people like to do things that are more extraordinary, because they might feel it's showing how much they care.
    Maybe they think it takes all of that to impress the woman.
    I wouldn't need or want any of that, but I'm sure a lot of women would love it.

    I'd prefer an intimate proposal myself, but I have no issue with other people's preferences. There's no reason to knock someone for doing it differently.

    Proposals like this one may seem over the top/unromantic/whatever to some people, but what matters is what the couple thinks. Other people's opinions about it are immaterial. The only time a particular kind of proposal would be an issue is if it's something out of sync with one's preferences, which typically doesn't happen if someone actually knows their intended well enough to be proposing in the first place.

    She was obviously thrilled with the way he did it, and it obviously made him happy to do it for her. To me it didn't come across at all that it was done for anyone else's benefit or attention.

    heres why i call it attentipn whoring and its ok to criticize.

    if you do all that extra grand standing , put it on video and put it on the internet (youtube and facebook....you are showing everyone at this point on how u pop the question) then you are attention whoring. when u put it out there like that then u are suspect and up for questioning and criticizing.

    Sorry, but your logic doesn't make any sense to me. If you don't like that type of video, you don't watch it. Why does a proposal have to be private? The wedding isn't. Why is posting it any different than any other activity that people post? It's not like they're having sex and posting it online.

    long and short of it all.....unnecessary and suspect just like women intuition....mens radar goes up.

    two reason to suspect...
    the getting paid part of it and
    just like a dude spending 200 bucks on a date...watch it....hes suspect.

    even the attention whoring goes with the two.



    just like weddings over the top spending way too much money and unncessary..

    my ex admitted she wished she didnt spend all that money.---back then she got mad at me when i said it. now....shes saying im right.
