Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor, has spoken out against men kneeling to propose to women, claiming that it is foolish and makes them appear foolish.
In recent weeks, Edochie has advised men to stand up and pop the question like kings in his relationship advice for men on X.
Men should leave any woman who demands that they kneel, he said.
“If men know how stupīd they look when they kneel to propose to a woman, they’ll never indulge in such crap. Never kneel to propose to a woman.
Never. Stand proudly like the King that you are and propose to her. If she says you must kneel to propose to her or she leaves, let her go. Dump her.
“She doesn’t love you. Never make a fool of yourself for a woman. “Any woman who truly loves you will not watch you make a fool of yourself,” he wrote.
Yul Edochie’s remarks may come across as insensible to many, as he seems to dismiss the traditional and romantic gesture of kneeling during a proposal. It’s important for him to understand that not all men will or should behave like him in this situation.
Personally, I believe that a man kneeling to propose is a heartfelt and meaningful gesture, and I would love my future husband to do so when the time comes.
Everyone has their own way of expressing love, and what matters most is the sincerity behind it.
