My first thought every time I see one of these, is that they're staged - it's just not how people actually act, especially when surprised on camera (having had a bit of experience walking around downtown Boulder at night with roommates and a camera).

A total lack of couth and class, would be my best guess... :shrug:

I think they crave the attention getting turned down in front of millions of viewers would bring.

Clearly any man who does this isn't ready for marriage.

I've heard of guys proposing after running marathons with their sweeties. At the finish line. I've wondered of this too. I guess I'm old-school with the proposal thing.

I think it depends on the couple, really. For instance, the guy saying that it's going to be the worst day of his life: I'm sure he's only kidding. His bride-to-be doesn't seem the least bit phased by it, and their relationship is probably full of that kind of humor.

I have a couple of friends who recently got married. If anyone overheard the comments they make to each other, they would think that the two of them HATE each other, but they don't. It's just part of how they express affection for each other. Those of us who know them, just sit back and crack up... The love they truly have for each other is so evident, wholly independent of their "well salted" exchanges.

This is very tasteless. When I wished to propose, I had such high standards that I pretty much felt obliged to wait what seemed like an eternity before I could get Mrs. D'Oh alone. It wasn't easy, I can tell you, particularly since visiting time was restricted to one hour a month.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Some men do this sort of thing because they think (probably correctly) that the woman they're proposing to will like it.

Groundwork for proposals, from how the woman wants to be proposed to, to whether she'll say yes, usually occurs way before the proposal does. Don't assume all the men who do this sort of thing are morons or that no woman would appreciate it.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

IOW, if you want to marry a sports-loving attention-whore, it's a freaking great idea!

I still think many of these are fake - at least, when the woman says "no" publicly, I'm very skeptical.

It's basically just performance art.
