Jonty and a man is cutting full and the man
is cutting room full on the cutting room floor today?

(00:35):
What do we have?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I saw something that it's interesting because it made me cringe,
and I don't know why. It doesn't matter how progressive
women are in society, this stuff is still cringey.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
What have you got there?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'll show you. Have a look at this. It's a
guy and a girl in a very public place and
she gets down on one knee, gives her partner some
flowers and opens a ring box.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's a proposal from the woman's.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And he looks incredibly awkward.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You know that looks like that is that's the European kid?
Who's the European kid? Follow him on Instagram? So it's
a parody.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is this not real?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't think so. Well. I don't know if that's real.
But the European kid is supposedly the offspring of a
billionaire and he complains that he hasn't got a Rolls
Royce phantom because his dad brought him the standard Rolls
Royce or the private jet's not ready for him to
go away on the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
That's rage bait. It is rage, But you know it
is worked in this case because even if this isn't
a real.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
A lot of people saying to that, they acknowledged that
the European.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Kid, well, not that I can see here. But and
it's interesting to discuss why it makes us so uncomfortable.
People are saying, ladies, never proposed to a man. It's
a sign of desperation. It tramples on his manhood. This
is embarrassing. He doesn't seem too thrilled. Is he a
man now? If he wanted to, he would have done it.
Don't be this desperate, ladies. If this was real, though

(02:04):
you don't know the circumstances. I looked at this and thought,
maybe everyone's going, well, this is terror. Maybe they've been
together for ten years and she's finally going, you know what,
I've got to push this along. Why should she say
I'm going to do it privately so he doesn't get embarrassed.
This happens to women all the time, public proposals, whether

(02:24):
you want them or not. But it does make you
uncomfortable when you see a girl proposed to a guy,
and I don't know why. It doesn't matter how feminist
you are, this rankles.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's demasculating when you look at it.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Is that because just historically we've always done it a
certain way, and I think women still want to be
the one that is proposed to. It doesn't matter how
equal your relationship is, it doesn't matter how progressive. There's
a moment where you think, I want him to say
the words.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Knowing this, girls will be girls and boys will be boys.
It's a mixed up Chica world that we have these days.
I still think that something like that, we want to
go with those typical roles.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Those typical roles, interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, And that's what it's about. Also, I think if
a woman, it kind of makes sense for women to
actually ask men for their hand in marriage because men
never get around to us.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
This is the thing, That's what I mean. You don't
know the circumstances when they're saying, oh, women look desperate, Well,
maybe they've waited for five years, their child bearing days
are disappearance. It's a now or it's never. You help me,
Let's do it. This is a joint decision. We're both
earning money. This isn't you sweeping me off my feet.
Let's be practical here, but let's move this relationship along.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
It does. It makes perfect sense. The woman has the
biological clock. Yeah, the woman should be the one that proposes.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
And yet it still gives us the ick. Interesting. If
you'd like to comment on any of this, or you
can always go to our socials. You can at Jones
and Amanda and give us your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Also, it approves to me that the European kid must
be worried. He's becoming a bit of relevant, so now
he's doing rage bait.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's worked. I fell for our kids today. Come back
to man Boor Chalonsey and Maniston Blueport
