Why would someone knee when they have to propose?

[TonyMetal___1986]

Is it some sort of humiliation and begging, plus how would you feel if she or he says no 😂

It's a traditional way of the man showing respect to the woman. Being lower than her confirms that she is in charge of the answer. He is asking for her hand in marriage. She can answer any way she wants.

Since i'm a natural born leader, i'm not able to do such stupid actions 🤣

@TonyMetal___1986 tradition however I do side with you Tony that - it's always felt odd to my mind the older I've gotten.

I mean - why should either partner, "submit" - but then hey, people bow or kneel at religious places of worship so

Go figure

[browsingthroughthe]

Go figure that one even hmm 🧐🤔

[TonyMetal___1986]

In worship places, that's it, so does he knee in front of her as an act or beggging and humility?

[TonyMetal___1986]

Why humility? It's because she is a person, not a god...

[slatyb]

It's an relic of a patriarchal society when women were first chattel of their fathers, then of their husbands. If I were dating now, I would say "If you want the kneeling proposal with the diamond ring, you should probably date someone else."

[TonyMetal___1986]

Hell yeah 😁👍🏻

I think it's chivalry... but it can be sometimes interpreted as begging.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Right 👍🏻

Tradition to kneel down and ask for her hand in marriage so he can rape her legally.

[TonyMetal___1986]

You made me laugh hard hahaha 🤣🤣
It seems that all men who are married are raping their wives legally, well it's none of our business 😁

Are you sure it's not the other way around? After all, she's on top.😎

[jahaims]

Made up traditions. Google why are diamond rings used for proposals. Different cultures have different marriage traditions.

Thanks for sharing

[Cidknee]

You got a point! It's old and outdated. It should be done away with. Nobody stays married anyway.

[TonyMetal___1986]

😂👍🏻

[MrChinaski]

Why do you exchange presents at Christmas? Blow out birthday candles? Where neckties? Only see topless women at the beach?

It just is.

[TonyMetal___1986]

So you don't see it as an act of humiliation and begging... etc

[MrChinaski]

nah.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Good

[Kvass]

Less distance to fall after a no

[TonyMetal___1986]

That's why i'd never knee and won't propose 😄
Good girl 🐶

[Kvass]

You keep repeating that good girl joke like a parrot.😂 I get it, your feelings got hurt. Get over it already.

[TonyMetal___1986]

I'm a human parrot 🦜

[TonyMetal___1986]

Kvass... Kvass... good girl... good girl 😂😂

[Kvass]

Old men nowadays
