Public proposals might be a popular thing in the world of TV and film, but research suggests that many would rather someone ask the question privately.

A recent study published in the Journal of Family Psychology analyzed 374 first-person accounts of accepted and rejected marriage proposals.

When it came to analyzing what made a proposal successful, the majority of respondents preferred something private, noting that public proposals often drew unwanted attention for those involved.

Ricky, from Scotland, praised the photobomber, writing: “The 100% friend has the right priorities!” while YouPeopleAreGarbage said, “Women come and go, but the love of fried chicken will stand the test of time.”
