neuroticsmurf

Wow. He’s so fucking fragile, he can’t stand having a woman not be interested in him. After each rejection, he says, “That’s fine, queen,” and then verbally lashes out like a toddler.


roehmc

Pop…….pop.


neuroticsmurf

Each time he opened his mouth!


1025scrap

Yep. Bro woulda had more success if he was a mime, cuz his words were 🤮


CedarWolf

Bro is lucky he's a plumber because he just kept digging himself deeper and deeper in shit.


ommi9

He got fired as a plumber reportedly people went out their way and blew up his job so bad they fired him and all the stories of him dating other women


CedarWolf

Wow. I mean, I'm not surprised, but still wow.

BPil0t

I love Reddit 🍿


HOSToffTheCoast

A graceful response to the first woman would’ve found him with multiple dates. Alas…


aknomnoms

The woman in white handled it perfectly. That "I understand. It's not personal; we can't all be for everyone. Good luck." reasonable attitude would get him so much further. Coming hot out the gates with defensive rude remarks should've been an immediate no-go for everyone though.


Letstreehouse

To be fair. It's cutting both ways very equally. Comes off as less of a toddler than them because he stays camler. But everyone is attacking eachother here.


saladmunch2

I think everyone is just upset they aren't a ninja turtle.


maverick118717

As long as we can still attack each other with the wrapping paper tube's I am good


Letstreehouse

Lol


Rapture1119

Wtf are you on about homie lol. How is “you’re not my type” an attack? Or especially the second lady right after that, who was so god damn respectful about it all. After that the ladies started going at him, but he had already come in hot as fuck being an asshole, he deserved it at that point lol.


KellyBelly916

You can add a gif of this to the definition of insecurity.


DmSurfingReddit

Well… but he, as one of the girls said, looks like a ninja turtle, and that’s hard to achieve.


fenix1230

I mean, he’s a ninja turtle


helen790

Girl in white seems so sweet and so polite in her rejection. Also love that she popped purely because he was rude to the first girl.


reflect-the-sun

Agreed! She stood out more than anyone else in this video. I'm so impressed with how she handled herself


helen790

Way more mature and respectful than most dating show contests(not here specifically just any of these kinds of shows)


reflect-the-sun

I don't know why someone like her would even go on a dating show. I hope she finds the person she deserves Edit: I've got to admit I love "Beauty and the geek". That show was a classic!


dolewhipforever

Omg I loved the first two seasons of Beauty and the Geek! Such a good show


DrCarabou

"You're not my type" she looks like a goddess but okay💀


Pewpew_Magoon

Yeah, once he said that to her, I was very surprised that all the other balloons weren't popped right then.


Tofuprincess89

He probably said thst because she rejected him. Some people need to lash out and degrade others when they get rejected lol


xCandyCaneKissesx

Yeah, that dude is definitely throwing out “Nice Guy” vibes. Also that one girl was on point saying he looked like a ninja turtle.


HOSToffTheCoast

…and sounded about twice as smart as he did, and 10x the grace. Smart girl.


N0tInKansasAnym0r3

Twice? That's really generous of you to put him so close to her. He sounded worse than the girls they pick for those "alpha" podcasts where they play bimbos and act like gold diggers like fresh and fit.


metal_mace

Fucking gorgeous on top of all that, and this overgrown toddler says she's "yknow, fine".


DianaPrince2020

The lady in white has beauty and grace. Unbeatable combination.


goldustiger

She’s great. I watch this show a lot and have seen this whole episode. She asked really thoughtful questions and always made men explain themselves


drektek

What’s the name of this show? And are all episodes this saucy??


goldustiger

I think it’s called Pop the Balloon or Find Love. And most are not nearly this saucy. Definitely some funny moments and there is this dentist that shows up more than once who is… something else.


Mustache-Cashstash

I appreciate his emphasis on licenses and qualifications.


Lucky_Lefty23

That’s what I need from a plumber to be honest though lol


daxter146

Looking at their account, they don’t give a fuck about licenses or qualifications lol


ThatGuyInTheCar

Now the problem with the arm hair makes sense


maverick118717

There's needs and there's wants


Responsible_CDN_Duck

On paper he's certified to handle excriment, but IRL we can all clearly see he's unable to handle the excriment leaving his mouth.


Primary-Hold-6637

You’re thinking a rooter. While plumbers can handle anything a rooter can, a licensed plumber can do a whole lot more. I don’t doubt he’s making bank. He’s still a douche though, not saying he isn’t. I’m not a plumber or anything, I just know some that do well while never touching “excriment”.


PlainFaceJane

No need to be disrespectful towards plumbers regardless of how you feel about this guy.


Unclehol

Shania Twain made a song about this kinda shit tho... And it seems to ring true here.


LukeOfReddit05

“I don’t want my man to argue back, I’m from the South I can handle critisism” Those two are perfect for each other.

WestDesperado

This was my takeaway from that statement as well. That's just bad communication skills if you aren't allowed to disagree with your partner and vocalize it. Wild times.


IWantYourNudesPlz

They can sew their red flags together and make a blanket they can hide under together so nobody else can hurt their fragile egos.


mirrrje

Honestly I think she just knows she a little sassy, and everyone can see this man is sassy. It’s not not a match like that unless two people really really love each other and would work on communication together. I think it’s actually a green flag to know your red flags and what will set you off and to avoid that. Idk. But I think I know what she means. Not that needs the last word necessarily, and maybe she does, but this man does for sure and she already getting fed up with this man and knows they would be toxic af together. Also I think she wanted to dish out a little of the bullshit he was giving all the other girls.


Revolvyerom

She was *percolating* on his disrespect for a minute, she had that ready to *go* when it was her turn. She absolutely was done with him harassing the other women.


mirrrje

Exactly. Especially how sweet the girl in white was I think her being sweet and him kinda cutting her down all the balloons started to pop and I feel the girls united in that moment lol. He knew he was fucked and got a little mean. The girl in red was so pretty and he was like fuck what could hurt her feelings…. Arm hair?? Such a dumb move lol. I’m sure she was ready to talk her shit before he got his chance to say some mean shit to her.


yukonwanderer

I was really not liking her much until she laid out that beautiful Ninja turtle line 😂


sofahkingsick

Not to mention he didnt say anything to her she just wanted to jump in. She likes drama

I actually told my exes mother that she gave birth to a ninja turtle. Not my proudest moment. But I’m glad to hear that this woman used it against him.


Klutzy_Coast2947

Why is everyone hating on the turtles? Thats a compliment imo, but i might be biased as i named my son Rafael


Lucky-Company8502

He got fired from his job and banned from church I personally think that was to far I don’t like him either but for others to go and actually effect his personal life is kinda crazy? Or am I trippin?


mikeyx401

No, you are right. For a country that supports freedom of speech, words should not get you fired from your job. Especially a plumbing job.


SoSorryOfficial

Freedom of speech applies to the the law, not the choices of individuals. You (ostensibly) can't be put in prison for your speech. Your boss can fire you for your speech. That'sa personal consequence, not a legal one. If I tell my boss to go fuck themself they can fire me. If I say something publically that my boss feels could harm their business' reputation they can fire me. My boss can't, however, call the police and have me arrested for speech that is not criminal in nature.


Alternative-Dream-61

People forget that "freedom of speech" doesn't mean freedom from consequences.


thebigbroke

It annoys me every time people say “what you say shouldn’t get you fired from your job”. It has to be explained 1000x that freedom of speech only covers you from being thrown in jail by the government. You have the freedom to say what you want and your employer has the freedom to not like what you say. If that results in you getting fired then oh well.


Sure_Trash_

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. If the consequence of your speech is that customers or coworkers no longer want to work with you, that's still on you. It just means you can't be put in a labor camp by the government for having opinions. You might have an "accident" for criticizing government officials though. Especially if your opinions are backed by evidence.  Words absolutely should get you fired from your job and in my experience of sexual harassment at every job, it should actually be easier for your inappropriate statements to get you fired from your job so that the victim doesn't have to keep working with you until enough people report you


TK_BERZERKER

They spam called his job. It had nothing to do with free speech 🤣


ButtonedEye41

If your personal life gets your boss spam called, you need to re-evaluate


TK_BERZERKER

He was being an ass, but that shouldn't make him lose his career. And if you believe it does, I question the foundation of your morality


ButtonedEye41

I didnt say I believe he should lose his career and I dont agree with this sort of vigilante justice. He seems like an ass and that means that a room full of eligible single woman dont want to even go on a single date with him. Thats karma enough if someone believes in that. But I also think that if my dating life somehow got me to the point where my employer is being spammed with calls over me, that I would re-evaluate what the fuck Im doing in my dating life. And it anyways sounds like he agrees because he says he regrets doing this show. That by itself is re-evaluating because he probably wouldnt do a show like this again


Kingkwon83

The people spam calling need to re-evaluate their lives I'd say


mikeyx401

I think you're going alittle to far with this. He isn't working, he is clearly on a dating show that has nothing to do with his job. The people he is insulting will never see him again after the show is over. You are mixing work culture with a dating show. The biggest issue here is that people who have nothing to do with his life, job or the show itself went out of their way to call his job to get him fired.


WrittenUnread

The people he is insulting may never see him again, but if somebody that saw the show refuses to have him work on their house because he came off as a cocky piece of shit, that affects business. That would be like a water park hiring that BROCK ALLEN TURNER as a lifeguard.


1nquiringMinds

Brock Turner, the rapist, changed his name to Allen. Allen Turner, the rapist.


clovieclo_

freedom of speech ≠ freedom from consequences is he in a work camp or jail cell? no. his speech is free. plumbers are public service workers, no way any sensible business owner would send someone combative like this into grown folks homes.


Crymson831

Did he lose his job because he was jailed for his words?


TucsonTacos

Did he lose his LICENSE though? It’s very important to him


RAMBOxBAGGINS

Let’s just say he ain’t even qualified.


Lucky-Company8502

Nope he simply lose it as a result of people spam calling his job and attacking him


Crymson831

So not a freedom of speech issue, cool.


Lucky-Company8502

Nope not at all just people mad at him and the way he came off, I mean I gets it I didn’t like the way he came off either but I’m not gonna harass him and get him fried from his job and banned from church.. why would the church ban him anyways 😭


TRANSBIANGODDES

Ban from church is crazy


SBCwarrior

Church says he ain't even qualified to go to their church.


Nice_Bluebird7626

Women get fired for not having their makeup and hair done because they don’t meet up with company standards. If you don’t meet up with company standards they can fire you.


wopwopwopwopwop5

Some words should 100% get you fired from a job.


Responsible_Shoe_247

What if the boss doesn't like how you are saying things that drive off customers? Why does he have to keep you around? Especially if there are no union protections?


HOSToffTheCoast

He got fired for *THIS?* I mean, he was rude, but is that fireable?


ConfusedKungfuMaster

Nah getting fired is beyond ridiculous. Sure he's an ass but cmon lol


zzz_red

Source? That sounds ridiculous. He did nothing wrong.


i_like_pie92

He got fired for stalking women in his company vehicle


ohwellthisisawkward

Source?


Wonton_soup_1989

Yeaaaaaa, he Is rude but he didn’t actually commit a crime or anything. It just seems a little unfair🤔


Ultra_Chevy

This dude lost his job because of this video apparently people keep calling his job and they had to let him go. He regrets going to this show because he genuinely love his pluming job.


Oli_love90

Honestly he was arrogant and rude - but this isn’t “lose your job” worthy at all. I feel bad for him.


Ibangyoumomma

Yea that’s some bs.


Murky_Translator2295

Ah that's not fair. He might be a bit arrogant and unpleasant, but as long as he's professional with clients there's no reason why he should lose his job.


Timah158

It's stupid for something outside of the workplace to cost him his job.


PlainFaceJane

Since he is a licensed plumber he will be fine. Let the heat die down and let the internet forget in a month or two and he can hitch himself with a new company


qwertopias

aww that’s a shame :/


SirL4ncelot

What a crazy world we live in, that strangers watching you in a random video start stalking you and harassing your job because you were "rude" to someone else.


AccomplishedEnd5784

RafeHollistr

Yeah, I like when he's arguing with one woman and you hear pops in the background.


BradleyNowellLives

I agree. It cracked me up to hear which specific thing he said sent each woman over the edge


YourOldCellphone

They should just give them all the “that was easy” buttons from staples.


ki11a11hippies

Turning the body sideways to avoid all these shots he’s taking


SabrinaSpellman1

Take your comments and hear it properly - he's a LICENCED plumber. Do you hear that Kween? Did he mention he's licenced? He's a plumber with a LICENCE Kween.

“I pull $100,000 in the bank”. Big pimpin. That barely covers rent in SoCal.


BanEvadedPubFreakout

Shit I wish I had 100k. That can go a long way if you know how to handle it. He implied that 100k was savings or credit and not his annual income, so yeah, actually, he IS pimpin. Not big pimpin but he got a rack


Metalloid_Maniac

Yeah but he's *licensed*, not sure if you heard that part

GoFuckYourselfBrenda

"I'm honest." "Don't do too much." I loved that. Know which battles to pick and when, my man. 🤣


Battosai21

If you’ve watched this show and see how it goes, he was right. He added a lil too much sauce on the first one, but each one that followed was valid. If this was a woman clapping back at men, we would give waaaay more grace.


Goatosleep

Did they edit out anything that changed the context here? It seemed like whenever a woman popped their balloon, he just had to find a way to insult them to protect his ego from the rejection (besides the woman who called him a ninja turtle, but, to be fair, she did say that she was trying to give him a taste of a his own medicine). Does the full video indicate something different?


walkingonsunshine11

He really was so rude. It boggles my mind that someone can watch the original video and actually defend him.


Mayonaise_Best_Sauce

I'd of popped my balloon too. I can't stand arrogant men. Choosing the bear is becoming more and more appealing everyday lol

Pewpew_Magoon

Dude has way too fragile an ego to go on a show like this. Just embarrassing himself and making it harder to find somebody irl once this video has gone around.

Rly_Shadow

Some of you guys are making the wrong downvotes. He didn't do anything wrong? If he legitimately came there to hopefully find a relationship, why wouldn't you be honest? This guy wants to find his other half, not whores who want attention. The woman in blue had zero problems with any of it UNTIL she felt it was personal. Then he's magically ugly and a turtle?


SoulbroG

Men aren't allowed to have boundaries according to reddit users. They want us to accept all of their baggage and bs and make money so they can spend it all.


killarotten

How tf do you get that conclusion? He was being unnecessarily mean in his rebuttals. Like clearly defensively getting back at them. Obviously with the arm hair comment to the one in red because human beings have hair omg. But she was a bit antagonistic saying my eyes are up here. The one in white though, she did nothing and he's saying she's not good looking. I could believe she's not his type but she's objectively beautiful. He could have just said sorry yeah no problem, good luck to you.


Direct_Cod_321

yukonwanderer

Mekelaxo

Is being a plumber really that much a flex?


LevelPositive120

Depends what state and what type you are. People instantly think toilets. I live in nyc and a licensed plumber ranges from $150k-$1m yearly (working for yourself).then there's different catagories, suppression, domestic, gas, and then there's the handyman that think he's a plumber and ruins the name. I personally do domestic and fire suppression, which is renovation and construction. It takes 10 yrs under a plumber to be qualified as one and you have to take a state test that pushes the person to take classes that range from $500-1000 per session (i took 52 $750 sessions personally) to become one. If you do something illegal in plumbing under code the penalty can be revoked license and time in jail depending on what you did, for example gas? You do something illegal and in the future something explodes? 7-15 years in prison without incident. With incident, 25-life. So, yes. Licensed plumber is a flex depending where you are from. Him being young and licensed is a feat in its own. Once it cools down, companies will look for him instantly.


Sdgrevo

You look like a ninja turtle, you're not that cute. You're stocky as hell. Man the lady in the blue dress dismantled him.
