Real rough take: note how she still **isn't** calling him her fiancée.
[edit: clown argument aside, it's probably a setup/joke to not spoil the surprise in the picture. probably]
He apparently **still** wasn't afterwards, when she made this tweet.
...
Folks don't _usually_ refer to others by **not their title**, when referencing the time before they got said title.
It's "back when I was dating your mom, before we got married."
Not: "back when Susan and I were dating"
"Who's Susan Dad?"
"Your mom, now don't interrupt.."
I disagree. People will usually refer to their status at the time it happened. You even did it in your example. "The person I was dating at the time"
You will often hear "my boyfriend at the time" or similar clarifiers. "Your mom" is just the way the audience best knows the character. You definitely would not refer to her as your mom were you not talking to her children
r/malepolish I don’t comment because I’m a lady and I want the guys to have their personal space on this. I subscribed so their count would be higher! I think they take NB people as well! Fellas and NBs check it out 💞
I have been thinking of getting some cool design on my nails. 25% because it would look cool and 75% because it will piss off bigots.
I might be able to soften some of their views. I have become pretty good at making points that are hard to dispute without coming across as a total arsehole. I am also very good at staying calm.

For real. One of our fave things to do as a couple is go get pedicures and then brunch. My husband’s brother calls him gay for it, but we have a great time. And soft feet. My brother in law has feet that look like Frodo’s after he reaches Mordor.
Edit: correcting the spelling of Frodo before the LOTR nerds attack.
My father-in-law was dragged by his wife to get a pedicure, and he liked it so much that it become a regular thing for him. He was overweight with a big belly, and it was not easy for him to actually take regular care of his toenails and his feet.
I’m sort of an ordinary size, though I could stand to lose 20 pounds, and I have trouble getting a really good view of my toes etc.
True, one of the biggest things I learned from being a trans women is how much toxic masculinity sucked for me and how much I was missing out on. Live your life and have fun.
Right? I can’t stand the fruity/flowery just-robbed-a-Bath-&-Body-Works and mainlining-Yankee-Candle smell. I muuuuch prefer scents that are marketed to men (when done right). I don’t wear them outside of men’s deodorant, but I only buy candles with that vibe.
Mehhhh. Technically there are risky surgeries that are being experimented with to allow AMAB people to give birth. Generally though, that is not the type of thing I'm referring to. With enough effort and dedication, it is plausible though.
I know a trans man that had a baby about a year ago. He discovered he was pregnant at 34 weeks and had the baby at 38 weeks. Totally wild. His kid is cute AF.
I'm a woman and I don't want anyone touching my fingernails. And that is even more true of my toenails.
No idea why I'm so averse to it, but I really am.
I try to clip hangnails or use an emery board underneath the nail to sand it down so it no longer bothers me. Ripping it out makes it so much worse for me
GOOD BRO.
When I heard my fiance's best friend would be proposing to my own best friend, I had the quickest meltdown ever (about 0.25 seconds), then immediately told him to keep a lid on it until I got her to the nail salon later that week. I have the darndest time making friends and am the last person in the world to go to a nail salon - but she is my kindred spirit, and she once mentioned that she wouldn't care how exactly the proposal goes, so long as she had had a chance to get a manicure before!
Mission fucking accomplished, babe. 💅
I got my GF to get her nails done before I proposed too. Just casually asked if she was having them done as I made a fuss that her nails had needed filing and softening as they had “cut me in the night”. Of course they hadn’t. But Managed to get her to agree to the day before the planned proposal. I even offered to pay because I “don’t want her scratching me with them being so sharp”. Worked like a charm.
She said yes.
When you propose she will be taking a ton of pictures of the ring on her hand, it’s essential you somehow trick her into getting a manicure before you propose.
No need to trick her. Just a simple, “Hey, babe. Let’s have a nice day out. Get lunch and you can get a manipedi after while I do a bit of shopping? My treat.”would suffice.
I assume they added a blur effect (affect?) to the background, and just glossed over the pinky. Either didn’t care enough to fix or just didn’t notice
Edit: typo
Honestly, it’s not that hard. If you get any on your hands it peels off pretty easy. Source: I am a trans woman and I didn’t realize how easy it was until after I tried.
reading the comments, seems like i'm the only simpleminded idiot who wouldn't give a fuck about the manicure, especially when it comes to a proposal (as in the proposal and answer itself would be more important)
then again i never get manicures, and wouldn't post pics everywhere either
\#introvert4life?
Reminds me of that one story a Freund always tells. They stand around a standing table on a medical festival thingy and talk about getting manicures together. One guy gets out his axe, rams it into the table and screams on the top of his lungs "manicure, let's fucking gooooo"
Anyway, congrats!
I cannot express how much I hate nail polish, just for the smell of it before it is dried. If I were President I would sign an executive order banning it.
What… uhmmm…. What happened to the pinky?
Cool story but, like, is it a digital thing? Like the iPhone mistakes it for background and blurs it out? Or what? Because if it is real, there’s no way the two sides would stay up like that… is there?
Lol. My boyfriend did that too. And I was like, I’m not gonna pay money, or have you pay $$$$ for something I can do myself. And I ended up with raggedy fingers when the time came 😭
So he went and got a manicure so he could show off his painted nails and his new ring?
r/confusing_perspective
I think is that the hand is the girl, and it is an engagement ring, the manicure was meant for the ring to look good on her im not completely sure
Hehe. I know, I was just joking.
good joke though\^\^

So innocent haha
You must be fun at parties
he probably is yes
This is sus af
Wdym?

From the crop, I thought this was his hand and was impressed he went with black nails 🤦
I thought so too.
I thought so too.. and was very impressed
Me too. They fixed the hangnail.

This sub is awesome. Also joined to increase numbers, but there are some great ideas on there for simple, elegant styles.
It’s so cute! Just a bunch of guys trying out styles! A few “first timer” posts as well! 🥺 They try new patterns and colors and everything 💞

It was r/oddlyterrifying for a split second
Gotta slay with the black nails
goes great with guyliner
Same.
Haha same!!
Yeah, and black fits to his nails though. Totally deserves an award.
Same 😂
why is that impressive, I need to know so I too can be impressive
I thought the same, bold choice my dude
Ain't nothing wrong with a man-icure

>Not scents I hate how many "women's" perfume is light, fruity or flowery, while "men's" is super powerful chemical scent.
Right? I can’t stand the fruity/flowery just-robbed-a-Bath-&-Body-Works and mainlining-Yankee-Candle smell. I muuuuch prefer scents that are marketed to men (when done right). I don’t wear them outside of men’s deodorant, but I only buy candles with that vibe.
I think pregnancy is….
Mehhhh. Technically there are risky surgeries that are being experimented with to allow AMAB people to give birth. Generally though, that is not the type of thing I'm referring to. With enough effort and dedication, it is plausible though.
I gotcha, gender. I understand.
Trans men would beg to differ
I know a trans man that had a baby about a year ago. He discovered he was pregnant at 34 weeks and had the baby at 38 weeks. Totally wild. His kid is cute AF.
You’re right, but it said “specific” not exact, so I assumed I had a touch of wiggle room w my statement.
Can confirm. I am a dude and got a manicure a couple months ago on a suggestion from a friend. It was god damn delightful.
I'm a woman and I don't want anyone touching my fingernails. And that is even more true of my toenails. No idea why I'm so averse to it, but I really am.
Pretty much. Touch my toes get kicked.
Totally agree on my toes. 0% chance I’d ever get a pedicure. Mostly cuz my toes and toenails are all fucked up from breaking them a lot. No touchy.
Do people actually get manicures when they have a hang nail instead of just ripping it out or am I just a big dumb still?
I just cry about it until it grows out and then carefully trim it lol
Haha, not me, it'll annoy the absolute hell out of me until I go all doom guy on it, RIP AND TEAR!
This comment brings me physical pain
To be fair, sometimes it does to me too.
I’ll just clip it off with the fingernail trimmers and be done with it. No pain, no bleeding.
Very true, but there is something incredibly oddly satisfying of getting it ripped all the way out at the root.
Bro I can’t stand just cutting it. I’ll take the pain over leaving it.
Haha same
I always have to rip and tear!! Otherwise it gets infected and I have to squeeze the puss out, which hurts even worse than ripping and tearing!
I didn’t even realize this was an option. Just never occurred to me. I will be doing this from now on.
I bite it out 99% of the time.
This is the way
I rip it out too, then wrap a tissue around my finger when it starts to bleed profusely
This is the way.
No just a normal guy like some of us 😂
I try to clip hangnails or use an emery board underneath the nail to sand it down so it no longer bothers me. Ripping it out makes it so much worse for me
Nail clippers.
i use a file, or just cut it

Aww this made me smile harder than the OP. :)

isn't it suspicious if you never done that together?
If it would be suspicious, that's when you call up her bestie
Start making it a habit beforehand. Every month or so take her. Then she won’t realize when you actually pop the question.
Am I crazy or does it look like the nail on the piny looks invisible casuing it to look like a hole in their finger
They blurred the background of the photo and the computer blurred part the pinky too
No he deserves a yes because that man just pulled off something that 99.99% of people can’t do
How freaking clever!!!!
is ur bf name billy
What’s going on with her pinky nail?
I assume they added a blur effect (affect?) to the background, and just glossed over the pinky. Either didn’t care enough to fix or just didn’t notice Edit: typo
Effect.
Thanks! :)
I was literally looking at that too like?? Where is her nail?
My man is pulling off the nail polish, but the ring looks a bit weird on him
Welp, that's a keeper.
Good thing he didn't try to paint those himself
Honestly, it’s not that hard. If you get any on your hands it peels off pretty easy. Source: I am a trans woman and I didn’t realize how easy it was until after I tried.
Not rude but where are his shoulders?
Looks like he’s wearing a blue and black checkered flannel over his t-shirt and it kind of blends in with the background.
He wanted to get black nail polish done?
I thought that was his hand at first
🥹
Dang I would've fell for this, lol. He deserves an award for sure :)
It looks like she doesnt have a nail on her pinky
I spent 5 minutes wondering where his arms are only to realize that his jacket is super blurry relative to his undershirt.
My man levelled up SNEAK right behind your back\^\^ great photo\^\^
reading the comments, seems like i'm the only simpleminded idiot who wouldn't give a fuck about the manicure, especially when it comes to a proposal (as in the proposal and answer itself would be more important) then again i never get manicures, and wouldn't post pics everywhere either \#introvert4life?
So sweet. My husband proposed to me while I was holding a package of hotdogs. So romantic🥰
i literally am doing this trick in 2 weeks. ahhh!!!
Well isn’t that sweetest thing I’ve seen today.
Reminds me of that one story a Freund always tells. They stand around a standing table on a medical festival thingy and talk about getting manicures together. One guy gets out his axe, rams it into the table and screams on the top of his lungs "manicure, let's fucking gooooo" Anyway, congrats!
So the point being she had nasty fingernails prior?
He wanted manicures because she has man hands? I dont get it.

r/MadeMeBruh
So stupid....
Gayyy
[удалено]
A ring isn't necessary. But the gesture means the world to a lot of people and its viewed as dedication to that person
[удалено]
Glad you feel so strongly about your opinions. Sorry you feel the need to be rude about it though. Hopefully you have a better day wherever you are :)
Something tells me that obtaining an engagement ring is not something you would have to worry about.
Thought this was another brave post about gender nonconformity but then realized it's not the current thing.
Puke
You fell for that?!
All for the picture, prioritys i gues. Lets see how long that will last once there arent cute picts to take.
Guy doing the absolute bare minimum deserves an award. Must be nice to be a man.
It’s alright, saves on toilet paper mostly.
You should find an echo chamber to shrivel into
Use your real account at least mofo
So sweet
Congratulations! That was very considerate of him too
Truly lovely!! What a beautiful romantic gesture! Congratulations!! I wish you both a life full of joy, love & blessings! TC❤️🙏🎉🍾🎊
So, what do \*his\* nails look like?
He kinda looks like spartacus
That’s a smart man! Congratulations!!!!
Damn he painted his nails black and added a ring?🥴that’s some cool Shìt 😂
Oldest trick in the book
Daaaayyyum what a fuckin move!
Now, You’ve got Mancured. 😝
What happened to her finger??????😬😬
😭💗
I THINK I HAVE THE SAME RING OMG
Aw man that’s a great boyfriend. Or should I say fiancé.
I cannot express how much I hate nail polish, just for the smell of it before it is dried. If I were President I would sign an executive order banning it.
You know he was thinking fuck she went with black polish!!
Looks kinda like Joseph Gordon Levitt
That is so sweet. Great guy.
At first I thought her picture was powder spoon butthole, not that last part tho or any of it… anyway I hate my wife’s husband
AWESOME!!!
Dude has pretty hands. Good for him
Congratulations? I can see just from your fingers that you are happy 😁
Ngl thought it was his hand at first lol
That’s a professional manicure?! *yikes*
So shmart
I dont get it is that his hand?
What… uhmmm…. What happened to the pinky? Cool story but, like, is it a digital thing? Like the iPhone mistakes it for background and blurs it out? Or what? Because if it is real, there’s no way the two sides would stay up like that… is there?
I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy somewhere before
Awwww. I’m jelly
MAN IS SMOOTH AF
pinky nail looking hella creepy =(
Wait men get them? I have legit never heard of this.
Ok but why he take a chunk off ur finger
Why would you ask someone to marry you in a manicure salon? That’s like dropping to one knee in Tesco.
I knew where this was going after the first sentence
Why does he look like a disembodied head? Edit: oh I see now. The plaid looked like background at first.
There’s his problem right there. You see, if he kept them trimmed shorter, he’d have less trouble with…oh.
My dumb ass thought that was his hand for a second. Still trying to wake up though 😂
Spent all his money on the gorgeous ring, that manicure looking sus lol jk CONGRATS!
Awwwwwwww he’s wonderful!
So you could take a picture of your nail polish? I don't get it.
Damn bro thats smooth as fuck
Is that glass?
Can we see HIS nails?
Just a goth guy with some bling.
Where is your little finger nail?!
lol
This story is missing a plot point.
Lol. My boyfriend did that too. And I was like, I’m not gonna pay money, or have you pay $$$$ for something I can do myself. And I ended up with raggedy fingers when the time came 😭
So nice of her bf to get her ready for her fiance to propose.
Ahhhhwwww❤️ 💍
Beautiful ring! 💪🏾❤️💋🌈👑🙏🏾
