Marriage Proposal: Must Men Get Down On Their Knees? by Joey82(m): 2:53pm On Apr 11, 2008
My close pal took his fiancee out last weekend and proposed to her if she could marry him.
But the girl refused citing disrespect, that my guy is supposed to go down on his knees to propose.

I want to ask you guys whether it is compulsory that a guy must get down on his knees before proposing.

Tell the girl to throw away all her cinderalla, snow white and rapunzel fairy tales and start reading some mature novels. It will help her get out of that over exagerrated prince charming character.

My guy never knelt down. he said it lying down on the bed beside me. its not compulsory that men should get on their knees. cool cool
Re: Marriage Proposal: Must Men Get Down On Their Knees? by HRhotness(f): 3:27pm On Apr 11, 2008
Its not compulsory
thats why its a huge gesture when guys actually do.
Also it largely depends on the staging of the proposal. if he's all for a public proposal and showing off, fine.
I personally would prefere something more intimate.

the chic needs a reality check, especially when dealing with Nigerian men who don't even propose, they kind of tell u or just take it for granted.
she should needs to come back from la-la land.

They don't have to, it's just romantic
Re: Marriage Proposal: Must Men Get Down On Their Knees? by Seun(m): 3:35pm On Apr 11, 2008
Why must he kneel? Does the lady think she's doing him a favor by marrying him?
Re: Marriage Proposal: Must Men Get Down On Their Knees? by SamMilla1(m): 3:37pm On Apr 11, 2008
Hmm, Something is happenning here.Kneel down, compulsory, thats all i see here, Well it depends on the individuals involved, Personaly i can even lie on my stomach if i believe that the lady deserves it.
But if i doubt her love for me, I could even propose after our wedding[size=5pt].(dont mind me)[/size]

Seun:

The idea of kneeling to propose is insultive. Does the lady think she's doing him a favor by marrying him?
Did they force the man to kneel? It's just a gesture, if the man wants to do it let him, if he doesn't then he doesn't have to, or do we women hold guns to their heads and chant 'KNEEL DOWN'  lipsrsealed tongue

na wa o, u dey vex sha

actually that was d idea,
the phrase from historical time is "to request her hand in marriage"
ofcourse nigerian mentality is to sell their daughters like meat  sad

now-a-days its nothing more than a gesture of appreciation

The girl in the first post actually insisted on it:

Not unless the girl's dad is Bill Gates.

For me just her signature to the dot on the Prenupt would do, then we buy your ring together.

even if the dad is Bill gates, and the girl is sharon stone, no way, not on my knees, i will casually ask her "hey do you think we can stay together"
Re: Marriage Proposal: Must Men Get Down On Their Knees? by Nobody: 3:47pm On Apr 11, 2008
Even if her father was Bill Gates, sey who die?

If I feel like it (though I seriously doubt that I'm that romantic), I will. But if I don't get on my knees and she insists, I'll leave her with the ring and ask her to pick it up when she feels like it, then give me a call.

If her dad is Bill Gates, I'll throw the damn prenupt away and kneel my ass down . . . would probably do it in public too.

What if your man has knee medical condition not allowing to get down on his knee giving you marriage proposal? Are you still disrespect him?

What if your man has cast on both knee assigned to his wheelchair not able to get down on his knee, will you still disrespect him?

What if your man is elderly with fragile bone not able to get down on his knee, will you still disrespect him?

Think about it!

@TOPIC
Not necessary! Video or Phone or SMS or Email marriage proposal all not required to kneel down!
