I don't get it.
She wants to get married, but apparently men constantly show videos on their phones, which she doesn't want.

Is that a thing? Maybe I don't know enough guys? The only person insisting on showing me videos on their phone is my wife so...

Or maybe she thinks it's an SO thing. I guess that would make more sense, now I think about it. For sure, my wife is the only person I tolerate this nonsense from.

It's an exaggeration. A joke. People often force their favorite videos on other people and it sucks.

Counterpoint: I don't think it sucks

Yeah same. We love showing each other videos, but to be fair we're the attached at the hip type.

I also love sharing videos. But this is about the person that's absolutely obnoxious about it and keeps showing you videos without realizing that the other person isn't really interested.

I usually send the videos I want to share via messenger app. Then everybody can watch them when they want. And from their reaction I can read what kind of videos we both appreciate.

I do share videos in person, mostly when they are absolutely on topic and showing the video does not interrupt the conversation.
