@DaveG Fair enough! time to update my linked in with some hot selfies then huh
@ExtrovertedMainMan i'd love to know if this person considered proposing...
@AlexRobinson Seems more like a 'damsel in distress' kind of person that won't take initiative.
As in, the way they describe their thoughts they're all purely focused on the partner doing the proposal and them just loooooooving that.
You're absolutely correct, and there is still a societal gender stigma around proposals
But it would be very interesting, as to me the solution seems crystal clear
Yeah, find some kind of scammer online and you'll have your proposal in no time :)
not me signing up to be a mail order bride
As for the stigma... Maybe I have the 'wrong' kinds of friends then but I don't see it in the current generation anymore.
@AlexRobinson That's a good solution too. Too bad the question is off-topic, maybe it should be migrated to lifehacks.se

@Tinkeringbell I think that it is on its way out, but also current generation is probably less likely to go for marriage at all
Remind me, why does "lifehacks" need an se?
Oh definitely. It's a pretty old-fashioned thing. If it weren't for some legal/socioeconomic stuff being 'better' for married people, I think no one would anymore.
@AlexRobinson I don't know. But at this point, I am sometimes thinking the same about this site :P
don't forget citizenship ;)
Isn't citizenship a legal stuff? :P
I feel like IPS has a pretty well defined scope even if a lot of the new questions don't read / understand it. and sure its inactive compared to a few years back and even then wasn't exactly big but i like this site
true
I think lifehacks has a similar pretty well defined scope ;)
10:23
just conceptually I feel like "lifehack" is a very poorly defined thing and i've seen far too many videos of idiots with a knife and plasters all over their fingers making "lifehacks"
10:36
Oh yeah, the concept of lifehack has deteriorated over the years.
The site scope is still pretty okay though: lifehacks.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic
I doubt idiot with knife and plasters counts as a lifehack on that site ;)
upon having a look at the recent questions i feel like people aren't looking for lifehacks they're looking for how to perform slightly obscure household tasks?
or how to fix errors induced by incorrectly applying "lifehacks" / doing them wrong
Oh, that might be true. But looking at the recent questions here... it probably feels like people aren't looking for interpersonal skills but for how to perform slightly obscure thinking and how to fix errors induced by incorrectly applying logic :P
you're not entirely wrong

@AlexRobinson I think it was Gretzky who said "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
One thing about getting married, just thinking about it makes you really ponder "do I want to be with this person down the road". It gets rid of a tendency to drift. Unless you are stupid like I was with my first wife. And of course, there are the legal aspects, which can be pretty significant.
