User post: Should Women Propose to Men?

I think, woman should do it. they enjoy much in relationship so they should look for us

"should" women propose? I don't know, who "should" it's on many thing, personal beliefs, cultural, and I don't know what else

"can" they? hell yeah!

It really depends on the couple.
My girlfriend and I were friends for many years, although we lost contact for some time, she has seen me trough my worst over the years. We've been together 5 months, and I'm crazy enough to propose. I'm looking at rings already, but I'll wait some time to actually propose.
So what's stopping me? Well, she has a little girl (no, that's not whats stopping me). I'm giving her time, cause she has to be sure if I'm the right man to raise her child.

If she beats me to the proposal, so be it, I'm "man enough" to live trough that (yes, it's quoted, because I don't think that makes me less of a man). That just tell me she wants me forever.

Who cares who proposed. You can swear all the love in the world, offer her all the flowers of spring and give her all the chocolate from Switzerland. But if you ran away just because she asked you...
Well, in case you need you be the one proposing and she beats you to it, say to her "no, honey, I need to ask you, but it's great to know you'll say YES... hey, it'll be fun trying to surprise you".

But hey, don't mind me.. I'm just out of my mind.

It's not ignorance that prevents women from proposing, it's the fact that men are no longer taking the lead in relationships that should make women think well if they are worth the proposal. Women deep down still want to be swept away by a "Tarzan" rather than a lame double-minded guy. Women may desire equality but there are still times when we need our men to take the lead and be a man. It isn't weakness, it's a woman's natural strength to persuade without words that is more alluring and their patience as a reflection of their true love. Love, after all, is not about conquering by force, owning someone. It's not about self-centered desires but respect and true devotion for each other.

no! you know a woman asked me one time, ok thats nice hay i was going too ask
waiting on jewlers i said no!

I think women should do it. We're already doing everything else, what's 1 more thing lol? And if the groom-to-be truly loves her and is truly secure in his masculinity then everything will work out no matter who proposes

I asked my boyfriend of two years to marry me on my birthday while pregnant with our second child and he said, yes!!!!!!

men should be doing the asking in opinion.

Until I married the man, am married to now, which a widow from 84 to 2008, it seems interesting to be the one for the man, now, now that am
married, I wish I had never mentioned the subject of marriage, or purposed the subject of marriage to him, as my first husband purposed
marriage and we were married 20 year, this man now we been less then a year and almost weekly were at each other in verbal ways, so am not happy that he married me out of pleasing me, where he manifest his love interest in someone half my age, and he shows it, where he trys not to let me know he is having affairs weekly and loves her, and he feels trapped in this marriage as he feels now he can not afford to be freed from me, so I believe I would of been happier with someone who I feel had really wanted to be my husband..

I think it is ok for a woman to purpose to a man but personally,i still think that i will wait for my BF to purpose becouse when he porpose,he have decided to spend the rest of his life with me and i think that is very very important.I think a man will purpose onlt when they are ready-correct(me if im wrong)...

No

"how special we should be?"
Thanks for the tip but I think we should try to be normal.
lol

I don't understand why a woman is willing to tell a man she wants to get married but balks at asking him to marry her. Maybe because one is conjecture and can be relatively vague and the other is concrete and specific...and a risk? Come on ladies, WE have the option to say "no thank you" if/when proposed to by our guys, so why it is to terrible to reverse the roles?

If the two of you are on the same page regarding love, life and being together, who cares who asks. It doesn't make you (or him) any less normal, or more desperate, or any of the other judgemental characterizations stated in some of these answers.

yes megan fox should ask me if i want to get married
why not

I still beleive in tradition..don't take the excitement away from the guys doing the traditional way.. if you feel like he is not going to do it, then he's probably not going to do it.. so move on..

what ? the traditional way is better... MEN are MEN... WOMEN are WOMEN !... i don' wanna use ugly words... but this is bullshit !... keep the traditional way don't be a bastard... we're not in South Park !

I would have had no problem proposing to my current hubby :) ... but he beat me to it!

women have always right jugement about thier guys. so if one analyezed that any one have true love feeling for her and cant propose her by shy feeling so women must propse him.

i'm a old fashion girl, i feel that it is the man who is to do the proposing. but time and people change and traditions are changing like crazy, but if a woman knows her partner and want to take that step go for it. my fair is that men are not alwaying a willing participant in the marriage department. but for me i want to be propose to.

I see nothing wrong with a woman proposing. In this day and age we do almost everything a man can do. But then that whole traditional thing comes into play and yeah it is nice for the man to get down on bended knee and propose because that is the only way a woman knows that he is actually committed and is serious about it. The whole ring thing..I agree with Ahleah G. It would be nice to go pick out a ring together.

I'm perfectly ok with either way. Man proposes to Woman, Woman proposes to Man. Equality for all.
