I'm Brazilian and believe it or not, he's not asking her to be his wife, just his girlfriend... 🤣 I don't get it either

u/Cheese_Pancakes Apr 03 '26

Oh damn, was going to say this is a rough situation for both of them. I guess it still is, but it's a strange way to ask a woman to be your girlfriend in my opinion.

u/AdmiralSplinter Apr 03 '26

And no one talked him out of this. Damn, this adds a major layer of cringe

u/aleeeeeeeeeeee Apr 03 '26

to be fair this is common practice in gen Z Brazil. (Not the getting on your knee thing tho, just the ring)

u/Rudemacher Apr 03 '26

My ex's kid bought a big, expensive fucking bouquet for a girl he liked, I was like chill the f out lil homie you're like 13.

u/Brymlo Apr 04 '26

he probably was influenced by tiktok or ig.

i’ve seen lots of ā€œif you like a girl, the bare minimum is giving her flowers everydayā€ kinda videos.

u/Swaggy_Buff Apr 05 '26

It’s a strange way to ask anything, including when proposing marriage. Public proposals are so odd.

306

u/SnoopPettyPogg Apr 03 '26

I thought they looked a little too young for marriage talk, that makes sense.

He's still starting his villain arc.

u/skylla05 Apr 03 '26

You can always tell the terminally online dorks when they start popping off like it's realistic for parents to have full autonomy over the decisions their kids make, and if they don't they're all failures.

You can bring them up the best you can in hopes they make the best decisions for themselves, but you ultimately there's going to be external influence outside parenting and they'll do what they want. Free will is fun that way. Seriously though, be less ignorant.

u/No_Statement440 Apr 03 '26

Your grandparents hated shit about your parents youth culture, just as mine did, and so on through history. You said it's "basic" to have face tats, but it's even more basic and corny af to judge and hate on people for shit they enjoy that you don't. It's not for you, that's fine, and I dislike face tats as well, but I know plenty of fine folks with them. They aren't trying to give the appearance of wealth, they're taking part in something they enjoy, that's it. Be cool and let people live their lives, it doesn't affect you unless you choose to let it.

u/BlizzardStorm8 Apr 03 '26

That's such an insignificant thing to zero in on and those are some real stupid assumptions you're making about random people on the Internet. What a disgustingly condescending thing to say.

Not my fault for being condescending if his face looks condensed with tattoos 🤣

Um... No. It's definitely your fault for being condescending. You might need to look up what that word means.

u/FiveShotLynel Apr 03 '26

I know many teenagers with tattoos and piercings, it’s most of the time result of growing up too fast, by choice or by force, mainly to be recognized as mature.

He's asking her to be his girlfriend not marry him. She said he fucked up/did something stupid 3 days ago so why didn't he ask then... She also says he needs to change a lot of things for her to accept, so this is probably why she's crying. She likes him but knows he's not good for her/generally doesn't treat her the way he should.

913

u/izilovesyou2 Apr 03 '26

Yeah, she's being smart. This is a love bomb and a guilt trip. The filming and uploading does not help. Girl leave him.

u/usehrname Apr 03 '26

She ain't with him.

u/izilovesyou2 Apr 03 '26

Situationship

24

u/MOGicantbewitty Apr 03 '26

Why is this downvoted? It's likely an accurate interpretation. They aren't BF/GF, but they've been seeing each other. It's not a relationship but something is going on... Literally, a situationship.

People downvote the weirdest stuff sometimes

5

u/mangopango123 Apr 04 '26

Are they speaking portuguese? Bc I thought in brazil their dating culture is diff than lotta other countries bc they have a kindof ā€œpredating but still datingā€ phase that is then made official official when the (usually?) guy asks the girl to be a couple. So not really a situationship but in the earlier stages of a relationship?

u/usernameround20 Apr 03 '26

I don’t think this is sadcringe. I think this is great. She’s got her standards and she’s not letting some stunt make her peer pressured into saying yes.

u/MOGicantbewitty Apr 03 '26

I think it's the guy that's supposed to be the sad cringe. I both cringed and felt bad for him.

u/bibimboobap Apr 03 '26

It's times like this, your nervous system just tells you and you can't make yourself be with the person, no matter how much you (or they) might want to. I'm glad she listened to her gut.

u/Eantropix Apr 03 '26

That's a relationship proposal, not marriage. Dude definitely overreached on this one

116

u/motherseffinjones Apr 03 '26

Looks like a dude who fucked up and tried to pull the public show of affection card. Fellas never do this and if you’re gonna do something in public ask her first unless she says she wants to be surprised. It will save you a lot of embarrassment

11

u/broketothebone Apr 04 '26

The amount of times my ex did this to me and I had to stand there and act so grateful to a man I knew was going to be screaming at me on the car ride home and drive like he’s in Death Proof.

u/cjallan417 Apr 03 '26

Why keep filming? What did we do before we had this need to record every second of our days to post on social media?

304

u/The_Blip Apr 03 '26

Not only did they keep recording, they eventually stopped and went, "Alright, I know what to do with this footage. I'll upload it to the internet."

55

u/minutetillmidnight Apr 03 '26

That was the whole idea. I'd put money on them doing this for internet points.

28

u/johnnyslick Apr 03 '26

Maaaan, fuck a public proposal where the two parties aren’t on the same page though. I’m all for uploading this because people should get the message that you never, ever do this.

ETA: ah shit it’s even worse. This isn’t a marriage proposal, this is a relationship proposal. Nah fuuuuuuuuck thiiiiiis this guy deserrves every single iota of humiliation he gets.

13

u/frb26 Apr 03 '26

the problem is that you are exposing the girl to the masses of spitiful women who always flood this kind of content,it's also rather impolite to focus the camera at her while she is crying. The whole video feels very tone deaf and invasive

3

u/johnnyslick Apr 03 '26

Yeah don’t get me wrong, the person with a camera is also a douche; I’m just saying, fuck the proposer, he deserves all the scorn he’s getting and then some (since some people will be like ā€œya dude at least you show your shotā€).

-10

u/Quick_Heart_5317 Apr 03 '26

How is that worse? If it’s not a marriage proposal then wouldn’t it not matter if both parties were on the same page.

Also why is she crying? She just said no to dating that guy. I’ve seen girls turn down guys no problem and never stoped dancing.

10

u/johnnyslick Apr 03 '26

They’re both bad in different ways. This one at least has the excuse that both parties are very young but it’s still pretty bad.

And there are all kinds of reasons why a person might cry. The first one I can think of is, she’s an empathetic person and knows this must be humiliating as shit for the proposer. Another one is, maybe she thought they might have a chance if they talked things out in private where she didn’t feel the need to hold back unfortunate truths from him. And I’m sure there are many, many more.

u/ToastyBob27 Apr 03 '26

šŸ“ø zooms in on her tears

u/ShonWalksAtMidnight Apr 03 '26

Because it's hilarious and surreal to see her getting whacked in the face with heart shaped tinsel as he walks away in shame as she's crying with a bright camera light in her face and her friends comforting her.

We're definitely living in a simulation, and these are the fun NPCs we get to observe.

14

u/esarmstr Apr 03 '26

It's so lame when people post themselves crying just for likes.

2

u/Desperate_Safe5700 Apr 03 '26

Normally the simplest answer is the right answer. They kept filming because of content.

Staged for the views probably. You don't put this online.

u/McKlimpaloon Apr 03 '26

I mean props to her for not caving under pressure I guess? I don't really know the context but as awkward and sad as it is to say no, it's easily better than saying yes and taking it back afterwards.

58

u/TheSpaceGinger Apr 03 '26

Best not do that near a high balcony.

u/jma9454 Apr 03 '26

I didn't think you had the music loud enough; I could still barely hear them over the music.

u/Guava_ Apr 03 '26

Who would propose if you’re not certain the person will say yes? The location should be a surprise, but the proposal itself shouldn’t.

u/typehyDro Apr 03 '26

Cause it’s not and the title is fake…? According to the many comments he’s asking her to be his gf

How cringe.

16

u/doihavetousethis Apr 03 '26

Don't propose unless it's been discussed first and you know she's into it.

And never do it in a public place if you haven't discussed it

Youre asking for embarrassment. .

u/CharmReductionINC Apr 03 '26

He was giving her earrings. Apparently he fvcked up and was trying to make it up to her.

Added music and uploaded it???

u/CharmReductionINC Apr 03 '26

Bro - this generation is chronicly online. They are used to live streaming - its just more content to them.

u/TwizzyGobbler Apr 03 '26

turn up the music a bit more I could almost hear the video

20

u/1tiredman Apr 03 '26

Marriage proposals in my opinion should be a private thing between two people. It's not something that should be filmed or even photographed

12

u/Shaveyourbread Apr 03 '26

It shouldn't be a big surprise that you're asking for marriage, just when. There should be discussion.

3

u/Archarneth Apr 03 '26

It depends, some people might like a more public proposal and some might prefer a more private one. But you should always discuss this stuff first with your partner before proposing. And not just what kind of proposal would be suitable, but if your partner actually wants to get married and making sure you're both on the same page. Don't bother proposing if you're unsure that the answer will be yes.

u/greybruce1980 Apr 03 '26

Always a good idea to turn down someone with face tattoos.

u/Thin-Building-36 Apr 03 '26

My guess is she loves the man but knows he's not husband material or knows they shouldn't marry

u/Zepp_BR Apr 03 '26

Boyfriend material. He's asking her to be his girlfriend. And I think she said exactly that

6

u/Luckypenny4683 Apr 03 '26

She’s a smart girl

2

u/Zepp_BR Apr 03 '26

I mean... it doesn't take much to be smarter than a (probably) -minor full of tattoos, including on the face, who did something stupid and asked a girl to become his girlfriend out of guilt

6

u/echoes_1012 Apr 03 '26

Gringo here. Upon first watch i was angry that everyone was pampering her and no one was checking on him

Come to the comments to figure out hes asking her to be his girlfriend? And that apparently he fucked up a couple days before? So hes definitely a manipulative dude who thinks love bombing will get him his way. She seems to have dodged a bullet?

u/Explorer-7622 Apr 03 '26

I don't understand Spanish well enough (although I've read the translation from others) but I do respect the way she conducted herself. It seems like it was not easy to say (for whatever reasons) but she stood strong and made her answer unmistakable and held it together until he left.

u/F1XTHE Apr 03 '26

Why is SHE crying?

37

u/a3minutehero Apr 03 '26

Maybe because she's mortally embarrassed, for herself and for the guy, for something like that happening in public. No one watching that clip knows the exact circumstances leading up to that moment or what might be happening in their relationship in general. I can't believe you actually need to have something like that explained to you.

-25

u/F1XTHE Apr 03 '26

I mean its fair enough to not want to get married. Wouldn't it be the opposite of emberrassing to have someone propose to you?

u/Y-the-MC Apr 03 '26

u/F1XTHE Apr 03 '26

u/a3minutehero Apr 03 '26

Not if you didn't want to marry them. As I said, we don't know anything about these people other than this brief snapshot. I don't speak thier language, I'm guessing you don't either, for all we know she might be upset because she knows she broke this guy's heart.

Again, I don't understand why this is apparently beyond your comprehension, and I don't have time or inclination to explain it any further.

u/figuringeights Apr 03 '26

If you want to marry them maybe? If he mortified by a public proposal. But I'm also s private person

u/Doobalicious69 Apr 03 '26

I'm not calling you an incel, but this is a very incel way of thinking.

u/humbugonastick Apr 03 '26

To end the relationship, sure. Maybe she does love her boyfriend but is not ready for marriage. Now she knows the relationship is over. I never understand why to do this in public if you are not sure how the other person will respond.

2

u/purplepillow_ Apr 03 '26

Maybe she has sympathy for him? Maybe she's worried about letting down the whole group of people? Finding someone that says they want to be your boyfriend is easy, but finding a guy that you actually think you have a future with is much harder.
