Not just for decades, but for generations it has been believed that if a man wants to date or marry a woman, he must go down on one knee and pop the question. And you see men going down on one knee to propose to the woman of their dreams in films, proposal videos, pre-wedding shoots and what not. Even young guys do it nowadays when they want to ask a girl out!
But a woman going down on one knee for a guy is not a popular practice. It may be happening in a lot of places, but it is rare.
So a user named Krish took to Twitter to share a picture of a woman, clad in a saree, bent on one knee and giving a bunch of flowers to a guy and asked, “Girls, what’s stopping you from doing this?”

And women online had all kinds of reactions which were both hilarious and legit! From not wanting to ruin their saree to ego problems, from trust issues to the fear of rejection, here’s what women listed as their reasons for not going down on one knee for a guy:

I think women would be happy to give flowers to men if they appreciated it more. A guy I once dated put sildenafil in the water because it makes flowers stay fresh longer?! 😭 then there s this guy who put flowers I sent him in one lota which didn’t even have water in it. 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/8xfRpe6dg0

Honestly, I think girls should have the confidence to go down on one knee and pop the question to a guy and also be brave enough to face rejection, just in case. What do you think?
