Why are 90% of engagement rings absolutely hideous? Gaudy, inelegant, gem-encrusted monstrosities that say only “I may be tasteless, but I have lots of money to throw at you!”
I don’t like rings I think if anyone wants to propose to me ever they should just give me a rock. Like just a rock they found in a river or something that would be really romantic
I expect a bower bird style natural art piece. Take me into the woods and show me the collection of blue trash you artfully arranged around a bunch of sticks.
IKR same. Get me blue. For real though, I honestly do expect a male to spend a lot of time and thought and effort grooming himself, and for him to know how to dance, sing, and get presents for me and also make a nest and take care of chicks BECAUSE I have subconsciously expected men to behave like birds most of my life due to my sex education coming from David Attenborough documentaries during an impressionable age. This has resulted in me being absolutely repulsed by human men for the most part, but it also saved young me from bad relationships because I acted like a female bird all like, ‘why aren’t you making effort please? um excuse you no YOU are the male YOU make the effort for ME to judge thank u.’
Best advice for all the young people out there attracted to males: act like a female bird. Be picky and have high standards. Leave if you aren’t into it. There’s always a next male who is willing to do the little dance/song/show you his bower/pebble/nest that he made for u.
(ftr I found my male bird and we’ve been happily married for ten years)
