Onnie Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 New Question! I haven't really seen this topic raised much in here. How do you feel about a woman proposing to a man? Any one have an interesting story to tell? Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 YOU ASK: "How do you feel about a woman proposing to a man?" This happens a lot more than you think, either directly or in a round about way. The old days of the man getting on his knees and proposing are just about gone. There is nothing at all wrong with a woman proposing. Where have you been??? This is 2003. Women can do anything they want and most anything a man can do except for possibly getting a hard on. (Note: A guy should never be near a woman who gets a hard on for him.) A lot of women would be dating a guy for fifty years if they didn't take the initiative. Very often, the proposing ritual takes place mutually during a discussion and the couple can't even remember who proposed to whom. Link to post Share on other sites

"There is nothing at all wrong with a woman proposing. Where have you been??? This is 2003." Tony you jump too far too quickly. Actually my mother proposed to my father back in the 70's...that was odd then. I've just yet to see many women from my (X) generation use this right...and I wonder why. Are they afraid of breaking tradition? Scared of rejection? Or what? Link to post Share on other sites
niko1999 Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 We have fear of rejection just like you guys do as well. We would love to propose instead of sitting around and hoping you guys will get around to it whn you get over being scared:) I would propose to my guy, but alas, I am afraid of rejection from him though he knows I would not reject him. Let me ask YOU something, what do YOU think of a woman proposinG? Link to post Share on other sites
Leikela Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 [color=indigo] I think some women prefer to stick to tradition in that arena. Some things I prefer to stick to tradition about and others I don't. Me personally, I want my boyfriend to propose to me. Probably because all my life I have dreamed and fantasized about how my prince is going to propose to me. That is how little girls are raised. Well, not all of them, but I think a majority of us are. On another note, when I get married, I want my Dad AND my Mom to walk me down the aisle. They both loved and raised me and they can both give me away. My sister went as far as keeping her maiden name when she got married, as did my Mom. However, I intend to take my husband's name. I think it all breaks down to a matter of preference.

turtle Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 To each their own. I see no problems with a woman proposing to a man. I think most men would be taken back and impressed. Likewise, I don't see anything wrong with not having the father "give the daughter" away at the wedding. Don't most women take care of them selves? Why would my father give me away when I am independent and never even got a penny from him for college? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Onnie Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 I pretty sure that this is an open issue in an open forum…I don’ t really care who responds. I was looking for some valid feedback…not petty squabbling about how I worded my post. I’m appreciative of posts that are here. I personally believe that the best outcome could come from both partners talking it out…and deciding on what is best for them at the time. And, yes I would propose to my boyfriend, if I ever decided to get married. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Android808 Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 ROTFLMAO.... They don't propose, they "land" you, like reeling in a fish...... I suppose you ask a guy to marry you, it's like asking a fish to jump in the net. You may have to be a bit more subtle and play the game. Gotta work him, guys usually aren't too keen on getting married, I thought about it, liked her, she's a real good girl, but I probably would have kept putting it off. They have a way of making you see things their way. Ahhh they mysteries of women.... My wife said later, oh yea, I knew what I was doing, I knew excatally what I was doing. And I got you, I can make you do anything I want little man. ----swollow that!!!! LOL Gotta love her.... Link to post Share on other sites
