What do you think of women proposing to men? Men, if a woman proposed to you, would you be okay with it?

[JustinTheGreat]

I’ve seen a few videos of women proposing to guys, it seems to be becoming more normalized

I like to be more traditional, I would want to propose to a woman/have a man propose to me

I don’t see anything wrong with it, I would be down to propose to a man/have a woman propose to me

I’m in a same sex relationship so this question doesn’t apply to me

I've had two women propose to me, and while I did love them, I wasn't ready to commit to marriage, and they didn't have it formalized with a ring or anything, so I didn't feel terrible saying no. On both occasions, it felt like more of a spur of the moment thing than something planned and thought about.

For example, one relationship we had met in our late teens and had long distance love for many years. Even when one or both of us had a partner, we would still make time to see each other (not having sex, just as friends, but also knowing we had a deep love in our hearts for each other). It so happened I went to visit her, she was in a new place, we spent a few days together; I took her for a motorcycle ride and on the ride she proposed that we marry each other. She said it with certainty, she said she knew she loved me and I loved her and we could be together for the rest of our lives. It felt true to me, but also too spontaneous as we had never lived together, or even in the same town, it was always short visits which I know can lead to a false sense of perfection as it's more exotic and doesn't deal with the day to day issues couples eventually face.

I'm completely okay with a woman proposing to me. I just think it should be kind of a joint decision, and by the time one or the other person proposes, both should pretty much know it's coming and what their answer will be.

I was traditional... but I suppose nothing wrong with other options

I know men might think that if we said yes and we weren't actually thinking about marrying you, we might reconsider. But that's the thing, women are conditioned to think about marriage the moment a boy gives us a sign he's interested. She knows very early if you were to ask would she say yes or no, and why. To have a guy plan out a proposal with an expensive ring, means he is thinking about it more than someone who was forced to think about it because of gender norms, so you know he wants to marry you forreal. If it was my job, well I'd like to say I would have proposed once. But if every guy I was dating seriously proposed, I would have maybe said yes to two. So thats confusing but the one in common is because I felt secure that we loved each other, and thats all you need to propose the right way. No gender alone is going to make or break that.

It's like how awful can we make love for women where they'll still tolerate it? Are we eating canned tuna at the wedding too? I want it to be nice or I don't want it. Not proposing. That's just depressing.

I like it.
Destroying weird gender roles one action at a time.

I have ALWAYS been against marriage.. I never believed in it and I still don't... like for what?
I have been proposed to by two different women when I was in my 20s and I said no to both of them.

I'm not a fan of proposing in general. I just would like to date a woman, cuddle her in bed and buy a marriage certificate from the judge.

[bamesjond0069]

Its disgusting and would be instant break up. It would be similar to a man who pressures a virgin trying to wait until marriage to give it up already. Kinda offputting and gross.

By me its cool, it's okay cause if you love a man and the man is not looking at your side just talk up to him and tell I love you make friends with then you will get his attention my dining that

[moonpie89]

I dont ever see myself doing it. I don't mind initiating the conversation but that's it

[DevinAM]

I would be more likely to marry a person who proposed to me than I would be to propose.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not a fan of that

[Anonymous]

I would be fine with it if I feel the same way

[Anonymous]

I'd do it. I have.
