A man from Johannesburg has gained widespread attention on TikTok after discussing his disappointing Valentine’s Day experience.
In a video shared by user @doubleooo, he recounts his decision to stop dating women in the city.
He presented his girlfriend with a coating machine intended for making screen protectors, accompanied by a bouquet of flowers to maintain a romantic touch.
His intention was to assist her in launching a side business so she wouldn’t repeatedly ask for financial help.
However, his girlfriend’s tepid response left him feeling unappreciated.
“I thought I was giving her a long-term solution rather than just a temporary luxury,” he expressed, mentioning that her lack of enthusiasm marked the end of their relationship.
The video quickly amassed over 213,000 views and numerous comments, prompting social media users to share their opinions on the unconventional gift.
Many applauded the man’s innovative thinking and suggested they would welcome a present that promoted entrepreneurship.
User @bongiqueenb_gsa remarked, “This was going to be the best gift 😢😧 for a business-minded person like me.”
An additional viewer, @mamiwiththehair, commented, “My boyfriend bought me a washing machine 😍❤️ flowers die, and this is forever 😂.”
