Videos like this sicken me.
1. The guy is a white knight
2. He has a serious ego to make a video of this
3. I wish she said no. It'd make a much better video.

Women are pedestalized in every single culture, since the dawn of mankind, in many ways.

And emphasis. On. Every. Single. One.

Not among Arabs, they treat them like 2nd rate citizens.

LOL.

You mean the same Arabs that let them live inside their houses to do nothing all day away from the hot sun and labor; and get their bills, medicine, childcare taken care of; otherwise u ain't a man.

The ones who don't let them be pornstars and if you're willing to venture a bit east to Iran, have something called a "mehrem"?

You mean the same Arabs who sang endless love songs and have pretty much every derivative of Habibi in the book?

You mean fighting to the death for the honor of their women?

[oh the horror]

What gets me is if you talk shit apparently it's because you're bitter and jealous.



Or...maybe we just think you're a fu*king tool?

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Eggzactly.

People become corrupt if they ain't challenged or measured against justice.

You would know Aussie brah. All that hijab cover up of the local Lebanese populace is exactly that. A cover up from how pampered some of these women are.

Meanwhile a lot of young women are breaking their backs as a waitress, doing the housework, and studying full time.

I'm talking about the ones that believe you get 70 virgins if you die for a cause, the ones who regulate everything in their lives, including the way they dress, the ones who deny their right to self determination, the ones who want to keep them illiterate and uneducated, the ones who deny their right to vote, the ones who kill their own blood if she gets raped...that's not putting them on a pedestal, that's oppression.

That's right, the guy is a tool. Taking pictures of her while she's asleep... creeper.

[Jailblazers7]

Is white knighting really the correct phrase here? The guy just seems like an attention whoring creep to me. Nothing is stupider to me than proposing at a sporting event or doing some elaborate scheme that you intend to post on youtube. A proposal is one of the most private an intimate things you can ever do imo and to make it a public display just kind of irks me.

[iTare]

F*ck a wife, trippy n*ggas never cuff.

This. The sports thing could make sense in the right scenario (if she's a big fan of that sport/team maybe) but yeah I'd do something romantic but it's a private moment unless you know your girlfriend wants attention. Some of the videos people post are clearly the dude just trying to seem like a cool guy on the internet and get attention for himself.

You're truly retarded. By your own words these women are slaves. Any woman who needs a man to decide what to "let" and "don't let" her do, is a de facto slave.

[Jameerthefear]

The man who did this is ****ing beta.

[LJJ]

White knighting is generally seen as a guy who has real trouble getting women and reacts by become "old fashionedly" chivalrous. As signified in this famous cartoon:

http://i.imgur.com/wGYIVcA.jpg

The other side of the coin of those red pill virgins essentially, the same principle but a different extreme. So no, this video has nothing to do with being a white knight.


In regards to the video, people need to chill and stop judging. Personally, I would never do that, I think it's cheese, creepy, horribly contrived and attention whoring. But this dude probably has been cheese is entire life and the girl probably loves him for it. Different people like different things. Plenty of woman out there crazy enough that they would like this sort of thing.

[hateraid]

I'll give him this. It takes a lot of resiliency to pull this off every day for a full year. Doubt and fear are common feeling guys get when marriage is a prospect. One little blow up and there goes the project.

****ers like this guy are idiots. They just raise the bar so that women now have higher expectations on being proposed to.

Why does this "sicken" you so much? If you are bothered so much by this, why do you watch?

[AkronAngel]

I think this video is more cringe worthy than sickening.

That was what I figured from the title, and I wasn't going to waste 15 minutes watching it. Regardless, if somebody hates it that much, close it and move on with your life. The video creator is living rent free in the OP's head.

[ILLsmak]

Why the hell did you watch a 15 min video of a dude proposing to his gf?

this. I didn't. I was like ahh... skipped forward a few to see him talking and was like nah.

I thought this was gonna be more like white knighting in the sense where a dude tries to stand up for a girl.

I think a lot of people get married because they think that's what people do. And they go for what they have. Then they break up or just live together not really giving a shit about each other.

[RoseCity07]

I skipped 99% of the video. Still cringed.

[dude77]

lol@the one with her sleeping the background ..

this is only cringeworthy if this type of attention is one sided .. what if she treats him like a king or is just as equally into him and they've been together for a long ass time .. it's cringeworthy when the guy is putting all this effort and the bitch doesn't reciprocate it like that .. I don't know .. it looks lame to me but this isn't about me or anyone else .. and judging by her reaction, it looks like it worked and she liked it

This is so true. The need to protect the women of your society or clan or whatever is central to just about every moral code there has been. This insane male sympathy for modern feminism (which is anti-nature, anti-life, destructive to life) is perhaps even a degenerated expression of this very impulse.

It is clearly a natural instinct. Seeing a woman have the shit kicked out of her is more offensive to our instincts than seeing it happen to a man (at least, for most it is), and that has nothing to do with rationality. There is a reason men usually find female innocence to be adorable and why religious codes hope to preserve this, because it is precious, and now completely neglected.

Sorry, but that's just bullshit. Abiding by familial authority into adulthood does not make you a 'slave' - the point is, in a lot of cultures (and our own, not that long ago) the wants of the individual are sacrificed for the good of the tribe and/or family. Life isn't simply a self-indulgence where everyone does what makes them 'happy' and that which gives them 'pleasure' (it is a trifle ironic that we are the first in some time to allow the individual full-scale indulgence in this way, from an increasingly early age, and yet we are riddled with mental health problems, which have mushroomed - what does this tell you?). Instead, it was acknowledged that no one has some magical and inherent right to life (because it was so precarious and capricious), and that life is first and foremost about the duties and responsibilities you have towards the people who nursed and cared for and raised you; that long line of security and of knowing where one stands in the world is one of the prime needs of the human psyche: the need to contribute to the preservation of something with solidity to it, something that isn't as transient as a single human life (i.e. something that gives life meaning and purpose, a motivation that is generally lacking, and is why so many fearful souls flock over to the unfortunate herd of social justice warriors, who are so lost, that they can't find any meaning in their lives that doesn't involve interfering with the lives of people they don't know or actually care for outside of feeding their own egos and vanities).

Honestly, in the way you seem to view slavery, everyone is a slave of one sort or another, most of all, a slave to what they are, i.e. something they hold no responsibility for, and which is determined by the actions of others going back perhaps hundreds of years before. Everyone is a slave to the circumstances that bore them, aristocratic and weighted down with responsibilities, or democratic and full of utilitarian self-indulgences: they are two different sets of constraints, and they both have their pros and cons. I didn't ask to be born into the meaningless and value-less vacuum that is contemporary democracy (as well as the attendant despair, loss of meaning and sense of purpose created by an increasingly atomised society with few solid principles), but that does not necessarily make me a slave to any of these things.

I think it's less about being a woman and more about the strong beating the weak, like if it is a child or dogs getting beaten, we will also be as offended. Our instinct is not so much men vs woman but more men vs weaker creatures.

You know what gets everything taken care off, has zero responsibilities and zero rights and doesn't have any freedom of movement or right of choice? Lifestock.

That's what women are in most Islamic nations. The more Islamic, the more they are like lifestock.

[nathanjizzle]

That was just a cringeworthy attempt at having a viral proposal. There was no creativity in that proposal and the effort was way overboard.

[Meticode]

Good on him,but personally I found the video kind of creepy that he did that for year. It's pretty cringe worthy. To each his own though. Personally I asked my wife to marry me while we were ****ing, I felt the greatest persuader would be the ****. So she said yes while my **** was inside her.

Not a big spectucal. Just me, her and my ****.

who cares. I bet he has money. And he's going to bang that fine piece of pvssy for a few years and then he'll cheat on her.

I'm not going to debate every single talking point in your essay-like post but it's the truth. It's very simple. If one adult decides what another adult can or cannot do, and the other adult cannot choose to ignore these demands because they will be punished by judicial, familial, tribal or religious laws, that is systematic slavery.

[chosen_one6]

What I wanna know is...why the f*ck do yall n*ggas care what another n*gga does for his woman?

In that case pretty much everyone is born into slavery :lol - you probably need to rethink your logic there. Stop pretending you can choose stuff: you haven't 'chosen' shit; not to be born (you could have even been aborted - what a slave you aren't); not your family; not your characteristics; not your looks and intelligence or country or state or religious affiliation.

The point is that human beings need to be tyrannised over to an extent if they are ever to grow into responsible adults capable of making their own decisions, and of not becoming a liability (like so many children living at home who think they're 'free' are these days) to society or their family. And who would you rather exert this dictatorial power - the family, or the state? Because right now we are shifting from one to the other, but that does not make people more 'free,' or any less defined by the actions and decisions of those around them (now distant bureaucrats over parents with real care for their offspring).

The ideal of complete freedom and liberty for everyone is a complete fantasy that would never work, has never been practiced, and would lead to chaos, depression and despair. Even a small amount of freedom can only be borne by the strong and independent - most do not want it, and would be lost as to what to so with it. Go to the Middle East, remove some Niqabs, and sprinkle the women there with freedom dust - see what they tell you.

Perhaps you are right to call them slaves, but only if you also accept that human beings are primed and ready for slavery as soon as they leave the womb.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Point being is the human male's innovativeness/intellect/virtue need to be glorified and pedestalized, with fervor, on all levels if one is to render a society healthy and somewhat meritocratic.

[hateraid]

It wasn't a good proposal though...

It took effort but it wasn't good

Maybe not for a dude, but by women's standards that is over the top cheesy romantic, and they eat that shit up. The only way a woman wouldn't like that is if she has already decided to not marry the fella.

Yeah, his bitch ate it up, she had the whole waterworks going. I hate when fakkits do this, just raises the bar impossibly high for the rest of you bros thinking about proposing marriage to your gfs.
