This is the real reason why I basically hate Girls and love Broad City.

I feel like men often try to do things that they think a woman think will be romantic, as opposed to just being themselves. Often times, that leads toward mistaking extremity for passion and manifests in grand gestures, most of which fail at their intended purpose.

For sure. And how old are they? Because if I was ready to marry someone and they were ready to marry me, I'd be kind of pissed about wasting a year (though I want kids and am in my 30s, so skewed perspective here).

Yes! Every time I see one of these dumbass proposal videos, I realize that the way my husband proposed (early morning walk on the beach while on vacation with all of our close friends, but away from everybody), I feel very happy I married him. This proposal is all about this dude. It's not cute, it's not creative, and…

Can I mention how lucky I am to have a man who made me wait at a spot at Glacier National Park for 5 minutes for 4 other people to leave in order to ask me, quietly, to marry him. No videos, no cameras, no audience. I am lucky.

My husband, not overly sentimental, says to me on Sunday "Aww, did you see that latest proposal video? It's cute."

This video is so hot omg #neverforget

This is meh. For true Ciara greatness:

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GUY? I mean I just remember this nerdy, homely, average singer who came out of nowhere and made some harmless catchy tunes. Now, he acts like he's some fucking legendary musician that has some sort of cosmic wisdom. Recovered Ego Addict. High Speed Intellectual Crash? Who talks like that outside…

I think the hate is more because he's a pretentious racist shitbag, but whatever you wanna believe, dude.

I remember reading an interview with John Mayer (I think it was from Rolling Stone, but earlier than the one quoted in the article) where he talked about wanting a wife who would be understanding about his life on the road and would make hot dogs to take to their kids' Little League games or some shit like that... It…

"a certain amount of children"

He forgot to add "probs some EDM song you wouldn't know".

Whoa.

"My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick"

Seriously. I love it when people move on to Pretentious Level Humbleness.

in addition to his garbagey racist comments, he's also trash for commenting in print about his sex life with Jessica Simpson. I'm not specifically a fan of hers, but how violating for your ex to be talking about how you are in bed TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Saying your dick is a white supremacist is racist. And, frankly if you can't ever find yourself attracted to anyone who isn't of your own race, that probably has something to do with racism. You don't have to have a quota of brown friends and lovers, but if you don't have any of either? You should probably take a long…

"By day I was this sort of mild mannered kid who nobody really saw. And by night I was listening to Charlie Parker and John Coltrane and Freddie King and Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton,"

JUSTIFIED?!?!!?!?!?
