I think that it is completely okay to ask. I mean, what if they've been dating for a very long time, and the guy is afraid? You can't expect her to waste her time.
You are no 18 year old, judging from the photo or you are using your underage photo.
@Vivaldi if he is “afraid” then he’s not a proper “man” and marriage isn’t for him.
@Gisellebabe
Do you think marriage is for a man who doesn't want kids?
@Vivaldi no marriage is the commitment to start a family
@Gisellebabe
So I am supposed to die alone then? I need someone to make love or things.
How will I have a sex life if I am not married?
@Vivaldi That’s the idea behind marriage. Sex is meant for married couples to reproduce
@Gisellebabe
Sex is a need.
@Vivaldi Hence why marriage was introduced. Anyway idc anymore
Disagree. A woman should actually even insist on marriage in certain instances.
Insist yes. Propose no.
What's the difference? If he doesn't propose it then she should. If he refuses, then she might want to leave the relationship because he won't commit.
Why do you care what someone else does? Passing judgment is usually related to an insecurity. I’d focus on that.
I disagree. It shouldn't matter who asks who to marry.
Simples...
I would never feel comfortable with it myself. It feels presumptuous, like inviting myself over to your house. I wouldn’t presume that I had a right to be a part of your family.
But doesn't that happen the other way around?
I think a woman who asks a man is strong and knows what she wants rather than being pathetically desperate. We tend to think that women are always the lucky ones if they find a man but the truth is that women have through history been there helping men (as in cooking and other tasks) which makes us more in need of them. Specially now when men aren't important in a woman's life as it was considered before because they were allowed to work and women weren't in most cases.
i dont think anything is wrong but depending on the type of man he might find it "manly" which is not attractive to some men. but some men might like it. There is NOTHING wrong. people just have different views on it.
disagree
I remember when Topanga asked Corey to marry her at their graduation or when Jenny asked Forrest to marry her years after he asked her to marry him, it felt right to me.
I would prefer it if a guy proposed tbh. But just because a woman does it does not make her “desperate.”
YES, I 100% AGREE WITH THIS! THERE ARE SO MUCH BETA MALES WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO COURT AND PROPOSE TO A WOMAN. REMEMBER, ITS ALWAYS THE MAN'S JOB TO CHASE BECAUSE WE WE'RE BORN THAT WAY AND WE SHOULD NEVER EVER ALLOW WOMEN TO CHASE US BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I'M A FEMINIST MAN!
I don't see a problem with it, but she shouldn't get on her knees to do it.
Lol that might give a different impression. 🤭
I see nothing wrong with it tbh. This is somwthing that can be changed. It may seem taboo to some people but its really not.
The way I see it I'm old fashioned there for I see it as my job to propose to her. And I feel like most women would agree with me when I say that's a duty best left to the man of the relationship.
I agree that a woman shouldn't make the initial approach full stop. If you are a man, at least live up too it and have the cahonas to approach the woman you like. I don't necessarily agree it makes her look desperate.
Disagree. I dislike strict normativity with things like that
That's a really interesting opinion. It's not one that I agree with at all. I think that women ought to have as much power as men to initiate that sort of thing.
I don't agree with this, we always listen that man is Proposing for everything to a lady but now this trend should be changed. man Will feel something special if a girl ask to marry her
My mother proposed to my father, and they've been married 42 years.
So, disagree.
I hope I get a big giant candy ring then instead of some old rock. :)
Well, it worked in NCSI: Los Angeles. And Blye certainly could have had any guy she wanted.
I strongly disagree because i think that if a woman and a man truly love eachother then should it really even matter who makes a move first.
Exactly. No one truly in love genuinely wanting to works forever together, is going to get upset bc someone proposed.
I would swallow a denim jacket before proposing to anyone
Amen
Disagree. A woman can ask a man if she wants to. I see no difference
The guy should be the one to ask... unless the woman is desperate than it’s a forced commitment
Right bc he HAS to say yes. he has no agency.
@VIVANT It’s about him putting himself in a position to be proposed to. That shows he’s not a “real man”
@VIVANT it’s always a good idea if the man asks first cuz guys are usually hesitant to commit... I would feel more secure if the guy asked me first cuz then I would be thinking if he really wanted this with me or not...
I don't like it only because it feels like I have to put in the work, when I think that if my boyfriend really wanted to marry me then he should do it.
Dude, it doesn't matter who are asking you or whoever for, if that one really loves, and intend to stay close to you for a long whole life, anyone (woman or man) should ask it.
In that case why can’t the man just do it then?
The question is: why should he?
Because he’s a man
Disagree, everyone should have the right to do it, no gender restriction
I do not care what other couples do, but I do not want to be the one proposed to, personally.
Totally disagree. When my girlfriend was ready to get married, she asked me.
Agree but women take rejection a lot worse than men. A woman is a LOT more likely to be resentful and possible even leave a man who won't marry her than a man who is told "we need to wait".
Guys take rejection to extremes too. I got threatened with a shotgun so stop insisting it's the entire gender.
@HoratioCaine I never said all women. Learn to read. I've been threatened with cops, being stabbed and having someone shoot me for not doing what a woman said so lets drop the victim card.
You said women, that generally implies all
It's fine. I personally wouldn't want it happening to me though
Nah. Bullshit. Woman can propose too, if she and he are sure indirectly.
yes with a but sometimes the man has fear of commitment. and she is tired of waiting
I cannot see anything wrong in the asking. But the guy must have issues if he is not prepared to do the asking
I'd gladly say that i do not agree that a woman must propose. I had experiences where ill make the first move and the guy bitches out because he thinks i may be a slut or its a joke or something... never again. I rather die lonely.
Men can also face rejections and be called creep, ugly, desperate and what not. You're gonna give up because of a few rejections?
@CubsterShura you're young. I felt the same way you did when i was your age. Once you get older you'll see what i mean
Did growing up give you live experience of a man?
I say yes it's ok. A man also needs to feel wanted and that alone would make any man in my opinion feel wanted without any doubt
It’s not the woman’s job to make a man feel wanted through marriage.
Not just through marriage but in all aspects.
Yep, a woman can ask a guy, but I’m never marrying so wasted breath for her...
I think she can bring up the topic with her man and tell him that she wants to marry, but I don't like the visual of a woman bending down on one knee...
Why would she need to kneel? What's wrong with how you feel and think it should be, for you, and the guy you like? Who decided a proposal needs to be on a knee?
@JackSmy I guess it doesn't have to be on one knee. That's just the traditional visual I get. It seems more romantic when the guy pops the question, but you're right. There's no rule that says a girl can't propose.
I kind of like the idea, as women are generally so much more about the moment, the feelings, and there were two, that I was close to thinking, that maybe, but it didn't work out.
I know I would totally cry, if a woman proposed, just because I know it would be something really amazing and special!
@JackSmy then marriage isn’t for you
I don't see how it matters who proposes, Its only some Females think that it makes them look weak or whatever if they propose.
I don't think it makes her desperate. It makes her masculine and I'm not interested in that kind of woman.
Amen
@Gisellebabe Don't up-vote me, you useless, self-important bitch.
Fuck you
@Gisellebabe Only in your dreams, cunt. Only in your dreams.
I think it's sweet and cute
Or - she's confident enough to go after what she wants. Get with the times, buddy.
It doesn't look like that to me. I like the idea of the guy asking the girl
Disagree because I firmly believe in equal Rights for all
Disagree, but then again I wouldn't get married so 🤷♂️
It’s fine. But it won’t be me I’m not proposing to a man.
@lovedejj_xo Why? How long are you going to wait, and now many cats?
Because I don’t want to I’m being honest so what’s the issue. Don’t give me that excuse plenty of men still get down on one knee but nice tactic. I don’t like cats. I like to travel though 🤷🏽♀️
@lovedejj_xo So sorry! I meant no offense!
Women can ask guys to marry them too or ask guys out, in what century are you living 16th?
Women are the prize
@Gisellebabe anyone can be a prize
Disagree, I would like my future fiance to propose to me.
Nah, I think these traditions need to be quashed. She's to do that
Oh hell no! I would have to take away her breathing privileges.
I think it's fine. But not usually going to happen. Depends on the dynamics of the relationship.
I personally wouldn’t ask anyone to marry me.
@Harmseygrace
You do not get the lice accomplished that way so please try to work over more hair first.
You posted this on the wrong question
What mate?
@Harmseygrace
Lol 😂🤷♀️🤔
Good luck to those men that disagree because they are obviously not "wearing the pants" in the relationship lol
@Kdude010
If a woman proposing to you makes you feel emasculated then that is your problem. Lets say you wete with a woman and she ended up proposing to you then what would you do?
I think a man should be the one to ask, but the role do change at times
How does it not make a man look desperate?
It's an honorable for a woman to be desired and asked to be married compared to men at least I think, so when a woman is asking a man to marry it makes her look bad and desperate.
Okay, based on what? Because they are doing the exact same thing for the exact same reason.
How is it honorable for a man and not a woman?
The woman assuming she's a good woman is the prize and blessing in a man's life not the other way around therefore its honorable to ask the woman to be your wife.
A woman isn't a prize. She's a woman, and how is he not a blessing in her life? You don't make any sense. You want it to be honorable and so it is. That is literally what you are saying.
A good woman and wife is a prize and a man who finds her obtains favor from the lord but not the other way around. I believe God's inspired word on this topic and if you don't then so be it.
Proverbs 18:22:
He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord.
God didn't write the bible. Men wrote the Bible.
It's not a book meant to be taken literal. It's just a book. It's not reasoning. it is insanity to shape your beliefs based on the words of a person that died more than 2000 years ago.
It's fine with me if you believe that, I don't. God inspired the Holy Bible with His Holy Spirit as His word says.
Lol it's not my belief. It's a fact. It was written by man and Jesus isn't some holy ghost. He was an actual person. You can't pick and choose when you want to believe what is says in the bible and most things in there make absolutely no sense. The "word" is finite because they cannot argue it. They wrote it down, didn't make sense of it or clarify what they mean. Why? Because it was more than 2000 years ago. Believing in God is one thing. Believing and taking literal the words of a book is naive.
You're free to believe that. It's not illegal.
No it's not illegal, it's the truth lol you can believe what you want, but it doesn't change that fact.
Well first of all.. If we take things literally.
“ He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from thee Lord”
Is not saying
“ She who finds a HUSBAND finds a BAD thing, And Does NOT obtains favor from the Lord.”
There is no thing written there in that saying that indicates or Proves that the opposite is not also, the case.
Maybe the guys just had more reservation and were scared and needed more encouragement than the Women who felt more confident.. so it was writ down as special reminder to those in Most need of affirmation at the time.
The union is what is special and blessed.. Who technically asks does not change the fact both are conceding to marriage.
Why Would any god wish to see a loving union as subpar depending on who asks.. Shouldn’t the aim be the strength of their union? What is the purpose of throwing shade at the woman For having the courage and wisdom to recognize a good catch... how is that holy?
Also I’m pretty sure in the book of Rebecca, women used to lay at the feet of the men they wanted to marry. Then the guy would agree or say no. Like thousands of years ago. I’m not suggesting women sleep at maths feet. I’m saying chastise change even in the Bible. There are differnt testimony’s.
I think if there is true love qnd commitment, that is a blessing and any god wanting the well being of mortals, would be pleased with that.
Love is a blessing so they are both blessed. If not they wouldn’t feel the love.
I disagree.
no 🙄If she want to what's wrong with that?
There’s everything wrong with how she feels she has to propose and trap him.
@Gisellebabe If her intent is to "trap him," of course it is wrong. I can imagine--apparently you can't--a type of relationship where a female proposing has nothing to do with entrapment.
@Gisellebabe are you married?
Ummm, in what way are you anti traditional? 😆
I hate being put in a box how men think things should be done. Screw that. I have my own ways.
Strongly disagreed.
