Men, is it a requirement for your girlfriend to meet your parents before you propose to her?

No, but my parents and I weren't very close (emotionally or in terms of proximity; they lived so far away). What was a requirement is that I meet hers and ideally win their approval.

I haven't spoken to my mother in over 23 years, for example. And my father is like my drinking buddy now (we actually became buddies after I get married, not before), but when I was dating, we hardly saw or spoke to each other.

My friends are much more like my family than my parents. So it was a requirement for me, not just for marriage but even to become a serious item, that she meet my friends and ideally enjoys their company as much as I do.

Personally i think it is polite for parents to also meet a partner / girlfriend before a proposal.
Just common etiquette i guess.

No not a requirement, but it would be a very respectable thing to do.

However, what is there to hide by not introducing her?

Yes, but it shouldn't be a requirement.
