Let’s cut through the noise.
This trend of ladies humiliating men during public proposals isn’t accidental. It’s a predictable fallout of modern relationship dynamics.

Here’s the core truth:

Men don’t propose blindly.
A man will NEVER stake his pride in a public setting unless he has been given clear emotional signals that the relationship is serious.

Forget the “men are foolish” narrative.
Nobody invests in a stock that showed no signs of growth.

Most of these guys were LED ON.

A modern woman can:

Make herself available
Cry on your chest
Act loyal
Call you her peace
Make you feel like the chosen one
…while quietly grooming her actual contender on the side.

Some women have mastered emotional manipulation to the point where:

You think you’re her best man
Meanwhile YOU are the side mission
And another guy is the main project


Your girlfriend might also be another man’s girlfriend.
Your “exclusive” relationship may be a parallel structure.

This is why during a surprise proposal:

She hesitates
She freezes
She panics
She starts calculating


Why?
Because she’s not thinking about YOU…
She’s thinking about the other guy watching that proposal video online.

Public proposal ≠ romance anymore.
It’s now a risk assessment moment for many ladies.

She’s asking herself:

“What if my Plan B sees this?”
“What if my main boyfriend finds out?”
“What if my other talking stages get ruined?”

And at that point of confusion, she makes a quick strategic decision:

Sacrifice the clown and Protect the King.

Not because you’re a bad person…
But because you were never the priority.
You were the insurance policy.

The world has changed.
The dating market is now a multi-lane expressway, not a single-file road.

Men need to wake up.
Women make decisions based on how they feel right now, not what you sacrificed last year.

You spoke the truth.
The ladies are so used to multiple partners that they can't fathom really committing to one man. Yes, they envisage getting married someday, but how and to who, they've not given that a thought. For now, they just like having all options on the table, and still leaving the table for more potential suitors. Marriage isn't really the ultimate goal for them, they love been discovered by new people, the thrill of going on new dates, a new talking stage, the niceness that comes with the novelty, that faux special feeling.

I saw this firsthand with my ex wife, just a few months into marriage, she was already missing badly the feeling of being ogled over by a new person, nothing I did could substitute, it has to be a new person or nothing. So when I caught her having an affair, I didn't let the fake tears manipulate me, I didn't let the fake anger and blame shifting gaslight me. I stood my ground and simply walked away and never looked back.

Na mumu dey kneel down for girlfriend just to propose. This kneeling down of a thing and white wedding no be our culture na. What do you even stand to gain by kneeling down? Our forefathers never did, even when their wives were virgins and not these loosed boreholes. But you wey be say you wan marry a babe wey numerous men don chop the nutrient finish from her kpekus na dey kneel down. Ask yourself this question, the guy wey she open legs to give her virginity to, how many kneeling down na the guy kneel? You're going to inherit what numerous people have eaten for free before and you're kneeling down. I'm not against marriage because it's a beautiful thing but abeg, oga carry your non-virgin (fairly used) partner enter house in peace. Everything negative na we must adopt for this part of the world. When it comes to the positive ones, we go reject am.

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test
