Chinese man buys 99 iPhone 6s to propose to girlfriend on Single's Day – only to be rejected

A young Chinese man has attempted to celebrate China’s Singles Day by proposing to his girlfriend, except it didn’t all quite go according to plan.

The programmer, from Guangzhou province, spent the equivalent of two years salary on buying 99 iPhone 6s in order to – presumably – impress his girlfriend.

Arranging roughly £50,000 worth of Apple technology in a heart shape outside their workplace, the tech worker clutched a bouquet of flowers as a small crowd gathered to watch the young man’s heartfelt proposal – and to capture the moment on their smart phones.

Unfortunately, the man’s girlfriend was less than impressed and turned him down in front of friends and colleagues, who then immediately shared the exchange on China’s social media network Weibo.

2. That's why you don't propose in public unless you're damn sure of the answer.

And don't buy 99 iphones unless your girlfriend really, really, really likes iphones. What the fuck is she supposed to do with 99 iphones? What sort of message is he trying to send?

...."I can't be trusted with money". Can you hear me, now?
