      Here’s the original. It’s so old and popular that it’s the first hit in a reverse image search 🤷‍♂️

      Anus isn’t even a bad word, this is getting out of control.

          Right!? Are we just not allowed to reference certain body parts anymore? How are the Republicans at their next convention going to explain where they want the twink they hit up on Grindr where they want dat dick?

          INSIGNIFICANT?!

          I don’t understand why you people censor yourself? Half the time the platform doesn’t even care. Also it isn’t like censorship in those cases makes any sense. Everybody knows what is meant and it just annoys people. Also censorship is usually sth. Bad there are very very few cases where it is justified.

              Mostly Americans since they seem to be the most ones who self censor.

              But more specially people who censor shit like fuck, ass and so on

            I never said I do it I’m just not that fucking arsed if people choose to do it. At the end of the day you can write however you want. It annoys only people with a chip on their shoulder about it.

            This place is depressing as hell with all the negativity, and I say that as a cynic.

    Actual tip that was passed to me:

    Talk to a jeweler in advance, then bring the significant other in to do some casual jewelry window shopping.

    Jewelers get this request often, and most love to be in on a mini-heist.

    Your jeweler can discreetly steer the interaction to get their ring size and either announce it in front of you, or just jot it down for you to pick up later.

    Even if you get caught, it’s just flattering to your significant other that you went to the trouble.

      Most jewelers will also happily sell you a ring with a free resize service.

    Fun fact: that’s actually the original reason we use rings to propose!

      I did that. They were somehow still surprised when I proposed. Apparently measuring their ring finger was not enough of a hint.

    Is proposing when you don’t even know what ring size your partner wears really the wisest idea? This is how those videos of a big public proposal where the proposee says no start.

      The proposal itself shouldnt be a surprise, when it happens should.

      Like, you should know they want to marry you before you do it. But the whole ceremony of a formal proposal can and should be left a surprise!

      +1 - proposals never should be a surprise

      I did have a friend who was proposed to with a placeholder ring. I think the jeweler sold the fiancé a ring and said he could come back/return it and have her pick out one she wants. That said, she preferred a diamond as opposed to an alternative so it was easier finding a jeweler that was accommodating.

      Some people enjoy the surprise of when a proposal happens (as long as both parties are previously aligned on getting married).

      Everyone’s got their preferences! Some people want the ring as a surprise and some would rather pick it out together, etc. And some are like my other friend, who wanted no proposal, picked out the ring herself, had her fiancé buy it, and called it a day!

      I didn’t know my fiance’s ring size, surprise surprise she didn’t know either, I got her friend to check it during the friends hens party. But overall if you’re not oblivious, you should know if your other half wants the proposal.

      Couldn’t agree more. By the time you’re ready to propose, not only should you already know their ring size, the other person should also be aware of your plans well in advance.

      Springing a proposal on someone without discussing it with them beforehand is beyond fucked up.
