Why do some people feel the need to subject themselves to public humiliation? In particular, I'm referring to the guys who decide that it would be a super ingenious idea to propose to their girlfriends at some type of sports stadium. The first time, people probably thought, "Hey! What an original and romantic guy!" Hopefully the gal said yes, which often helps. However, now it's such a cliched way of proposing to someone, thousands of pairs of eyes are on you, you're probably also on national television, so what's to actually like about that kind of proposal?
You can't help feeling bad for the poor schmoes who muster every single ounce of courage to put their dignity on the line in front of a packed crowd, only to be totally rejected and their pride stomped on for the world to see by the would-be fiancee. I have to say, on the one hand, they guy is kind of asking for it with such an inopportune proposal setting. On the other hand, flat-out rejection is never easy to watch if you have any shred of empathy for other people.
Take that as a lesson guys--if there are lots of sweaty men running around trying to score points of some kind, it's probably not the right time to pop the question.
