0:00 thank you [Music] take a look at this photo and then just tell me how it makes you feel first Jason um I it's very 2023 of uh yeah it's good what do you guys think what's happening ████ already proposal she's asking him to marry her yeah is that Venice uh yeah oh is that a little dog I don't know it looks like it could be the Grove or Bellagio have you been to Venice wait there's a little dog looking up like that that's pretty cute uh yeah but like what do you think about females proposing to male Colleen what do you think about that is he gonna take her last name uh because I think

0:50 okay let's type if there's a benefit I feel like I'm traditional and that looks weird to me yeah I think that looks fun yeah I see that and I get angry I get mad you think she likes it rough in bed you know what there's a chance I think he likes it rough from her and bad he has a ponytail for a reason perhaps his legs around her in bed yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm a Jalen fence the kind of guy that's aspiring to be a house Dad could be yeah yeah he's the kind of guy that packs her lunch so she goes to work and he comes back cleans and he takes a little break has a nice apron on dude with a little with a glass of wine and he drinks like this you ever meet a house dad they're never happy dude really ever no bro I just feel like women who are proposing to men like that

1:41 is because they so desperately want to get married and they their boyfriend is asking them so it's like they're trying to take it upon themselves to do that okay but I just feel like you're just trying to pigeonhole them or force them into a situation that if they wanted to do that they would have already done it that's a pretty thing you don't think that's women empowerment or now women can also dress too so that's pretty ding ding ding in my opinion yeah because I have a friend that where it was in three engagements um she proposed all three times she proposed three men he's 20 23. wait she's proposed to three men yeah and all three of them didn't work out yeah oh she proposed to this man she proposed to another man this dude together two years didn't work out oh new love of my life together didn't work out oh and you

2:31 would love in my life initiate it it's a it's a trap move I think I think what yeah I think what she's saying is like they dream of this scenario they want this so badly that it's not happening at their time frame that they want it to yeah so they're gonna go ahead and push it further yes and then so they're like well if you're not gonna do it I'll do it because there's guys that do that too where they're like uh I'm just gonna try to keep this girl forever and then she's kind of on the fence and then they'll do like a proposal and the girls can't say no so they'll just say yes on both sides it happens on both sides but yeah but then in these cases it's because of that you're saying like most of it is probably that I think so I mean it'd be interesting see if there's any like how many like divorces in just those situations if they like pull women who've proposed to those men too like if do they know like beforehand

3:23 it's like oh one day she's gonna propose to him just in the time or if it's just like out of the blue and he's like yeah he's just like oh my God yeah she's playing something I don't know what it is I'm going to my favorite restaurant can I see the picture again I gave her so many hints throughout the week it's not what's in a real one oh was it no but was that just like a stock photo that was a stock photo that looked because that was so perfect yeah it was like it's almost like they actually rehearsed it's a great picture but I think the guy campaign is AI generated it's a stock photo because it could happen often enough time because I think the guy's not really happy in that picture he doesn't look that like thrilled because I think like most chips still want to get taken care of and then so being proposed to is kind of part of that whole thing I don't know any of these like modern relationship

4:15 things that work I don't know anyone with that it's hard because we also typically don't have friends that believe that are gay I mean okay yeah yeah but like but even if there's like um like let's say there's a lesbian couple yeah usually there's one that's a little bit more masculine than the other one uh-huh the more masculine one is the one that proposes too which is kind of strange right when you think it's it's like there's like so whether regardless of what biological gender is yeah there is like this duality in a relationship where one is like more nurturing and the Mars protector is a natural gender role people just don't want to say it like that because it's so like Politically Incorrect but also it's like generally The Protector is the one that proposes to the nurturer yeah it's so cool that the protector is proposing because you would think that the nurturer will be like hey would you have me

5:05 the nursery would propose yeah because the new dream will be like would you help me protect me like that but then will you be my protector yeah that's cool though yeah when you say like who they want to protect that's what makes it sweet because I'm not this is basically uh like the modern more liberal way of seeing it yeah and the reason for it is that they don't want gender roles to be so male Chosen and male driven from the start so advice that they give to women is to be the proposer so that the playing field is not necessarily all against your favor but I feel like that's the logic there I'm not saying that if that's what they say okay and it

5:56 happens to work out great good for them if me and Jill were dating yeah and then all of a sudden she got on one knee and then behind her was like a 67 Chevelle and that's my ring on my ████ yeah all right all right I see what you're doing okay okay [Laughter] [Music] that makes sense she's like proposing with the ring that she wants for herself yeah can you can you put this back on me after yeah I think Bart has to get lower it might actually be what's difficult is if you're like a liberal couple and you believe in that then you almost have to let your girl propose right because you don't want to be commandeering that job as the man but the people that are

6:46 giving this advice how many of them are in a successful marriage where they got proposed it says all all of them because dude people love to give advice about marriage all the time unsolicited you know and also too it's like they're talking from a place where their relationship sucks all the time I would know because I give advice all the time so I I understand I know my own you know I feel like the kind of guys that get proposed to when they get kissed by their like fiance's they're the ones that kick their foot out yeah what if opposed to you what how would it catch you off guard oh 100 because like part of it is like damn well in the moment if I'm trying to think if she actually got down to one

7:37 even proposed to me part of me would be like flattered that like oh my gosh he wants to marry me that's kind of cool initiative she took the initiative to do it but the other side of me unwillingly is like no no get the ████ up like that's crazy I should be the one doing that but you wake up though okay because you're a nice person yeah but I don't know we probably have to have a debriefing about it like we'd have to have us we'd have to talk about it afterwards like um can you not post this on social media it's gonna ruin my reputation I also think they're like guys we like that like as a male in general like we like to chase and then so but if you're like hey I'm here you got me I don't know I don't know if I like that yeah I want to be like we've had like 12 years of practice of like in elementary

8:27 middle school high school of asking girls to dances right like that core yeah it's like a repetition thing but then you you know when she likes you back it's not they chase two but they do a different kind of Chase they just make it easy they dangle the carrot they're just like you're just like oh I'm accidentally here and you're like ah are you you're here yeah you're making it easy for me that's so cool you know it's like different it's hard to understand because obviously we've all Grown Up In traditional gender role examples but it is interesting to think that like like in my situation like I've been with my girl for like eight eight years I should I'd probably even propose pretty soon but if she were to do it if she were to beat me to it I could honestly say we would probably break up because it would weird me the ████ out no way because not a character I think so yeah I think it's just it would just be but then I'm also scum for taking so long but like at the

9:17 same time it's like it would be so off-putting to me that I don't think I could continue in whatever if with that being a foundation with that being the new does she know that yeah she would never do that like that's but that's also why it would be weird because she's not like that either perfect prank for Ryan yeah I know I was just thinking it's like pranks you're gonna break yourself over Frank but yeah would you could you ever imagine yourself proposing to anybody Colleen nobody ever no no even if he was with you for eight years well well what if he just wants that one thing but everything is great he's just like oh I just like it if you would he verbally says I want to be proposed to I don't think we would need to be dating yeah

10:09 he's like can you propose to me and walk me through the threshold you're like okay what if he just sends you ring sizes card magazines of the Rings that he wants oh my this is my ring baby [Laughter] he goes oops dropped into Beer's catalog you know what I think is fair if the chick proposes then for the rest of our lives you asked me what I want to eat and I say anything when you say something I thought oh no not that one yeah then I think it's okay nice the rest of my life anything honey and your conscious dinging the curb with the hubcap of your car
