Siberian serenades sweetheart from a dangling van

15 Sep

Alpha or beta? Romantic, anyway, I guess…

A young man in the Siberian city of Biysk has made up with his girlfriend in spectacular fashion by serenading her from a van – suspending by a crane outside her third-floor bedroom window.

Neighbours on Leningradskaya Street took to the Vkontakte social media site to report a lorry with a crane hoisting the van high into the rainy morning sky, with some hoping the police would “stick it” to the driver when they turned up.

But it gradually dawned that this was a special occasion, as the van was decorated with balloons. And when Yelena Gorbunova opened her window to see what was going on, she came face to face with her ex-sweetheart Alexander bearing flowers, gifts and a card to mark her 29th birthday, while a saxophonist below played her favourite song – the Aerosmith hit Dream On.

She told Russia’s Metro newspaper that Alexander “often surprises me with presents, but never before like this!” She said they split up three weeks earlier after going steady for a year, and the romantic gesture has persuaded her to “make up with him”.


 
Well, good luck to them.

Dream on! 🙂

    The girl’s cute. Man’s got some alpha. She’d better lock him down.

      I agree, she is; and I think he’s got some balls, indeed, to pull off a stunt like that. Plus he’s a handsome fellow in that Russian way. 🙂

      If she’s a smart girl, she’ll stick with him.

      Let’s hope they’re both smart, and will strive to be happy together. 🙂

    By the way, how do you be alpha and be moral (especially in light of the golden rule)? How do you be alpha and be tolerable to other men (your friends, coworkers, and especially your higher-ups)?

      Not sure I understand your question.

      Being alpha doesn’t have to mean that you violate Christian morality in your relations with women. Simply that you comport yourself in such a self-confident, assertive, cheerful and friendly manner that women are naturally attracted to you, and so you have options.

      Being a man of high principles can also work to your advantage, if you won’t bend when women all but throw themselves at you. Look at Tim Tebow. The more he stands firm in his principles, esp. as regards his much-publicized celibacy until marriage, the more desirable he becomes to women in general; even worldly women, rather than being repulsed by his principled stand, see it as a challenge to overcome. Tebow is alpha not only for being an accomplished athlete, but for his standing firm in his faith, not caving to the prog zeitgeist.

        I was only bothered about what it means to be masculine and not a faggy wimp.

        I worry deeply that I may become that, but I must limit myself to God’s Word.

        Remember: Jesus, who was a warrior who conquered death and hell, who overturned the money-changers’ tables in the temples despite almost certainly knowing that would provoke them, also was a sensitive soul who loved children, and was kind to women. And he was the Prince of Peace, too.

        What I’m getting at is, nobody has to be uber-masculine all the time, or even very much; God created us all, and regardless of our personalities, we all have roles to play, we are all valued by God if we will believe in and on Him. We needn’t worry how masculine we are. Be encouraged, brother! 🙂

        What Jesus exemplified is perfectly well rounded masculinity. Perfectly balanced between the pathological extremes.

        And always doing the right thing at the right time. He is firm when he needed to be firm and gentle when he needed to be gentle. Ultra-hardness like the Nazi’s or soy boi milksoppishness he is not.

        Indeed; agreed.
