Search Results: marriage proposal

In this story some man's girlfriend didn't accept his proposal for these reasons:

Finding out it was a real proposal and seeing the proof was the only reason she came back. She's putting things on hold at this moment, wants me to keep the ring and ask again in a year from now. She'll make a final decision by then. If she's ready sooner, she'll tell me to ask again but for the meantime only refer to her as my girlfriend.

She can't accept it now due to my past pranking history and carefree attitude. She pointed out that a month before the hurtful proposal prank that made her feel insecured in the relationship, I've made jokes about having Covid too (faking coughing) and acted inconsiderate towards others, had a history of sometimes being late to our dates, sometimes delay on paying some bills and doing things at the last minute even when I had enough time. Meanwhile I've stopped doing pranks and improving, she said I need to change more before she considers marriage. I admit, I was unpunctual with my last bill last month. Lastly, she doesn't really care about the ring nor the cost but thought my proposal was lame and it lacked creativity and enthusiasm, as if I wasn't even trying. She couldn't understand why I was creative with the fake proposal but couldn't do the same with the real proposal, put more effort into it.

She doesn't want to marry him. She's postponing things. He pranked a proposal once and hurt her but when he did it for real, she wasn't excited anymore.

If a man is looking for a break-up and wants her to leave, I think this is one way:

- Do a fake marriage proposal prank (then laugh and say it's just a prank) or after 2+ years together tell her ''you're a great girlfriend but you're not wife material''

- Tell her you were just with her for other reasons and that she was never that physically attractive, that in fact she was kind of plain looking and that he just had sex out of pity.

I can't think of a woman that wouldn't be crushed. I've seen several stories about women that pretend to agree with the guy on just living together but secretly wished they were proposed; they are hurting on the inside. Then mocking her on the physical features, our main market value... she's leaving for sure.

Wouldn't doing that to a woman be similar to insulting a man's strength, calling him small, making pranks about him being sissy or mocking his ability as a provider?

Same as no man wants to be seen as weak and getting denied as a provider, no woman wants to be perceived as ugly and getting denied as a wife. Is that the equivalent?

This question is referring to rejection regarding dating or marriage proposal and also applies to same sex as well, but just for making it simpler I am addressing it to heterosexual (straight) people in the wording of the basic question.

I am referring to the dating or marriage request scene where you turn someone down that you do not want to date or marry, or get turned down if you are the one asking.

Is it something that you have found to be easier to do over time, or to have done to you?

Do guys get rejected more then the girls?
