Me I am always afraid of a desperate lady ooo.....And does that mean she will be loyal to you?
Re: Should A Woman Ever Propose To A Man? by vivaciousvivi(f): 5:52pm On Jul 17, 2013
My dear, let's all be honest with ourselves...this is Africa and not some Feminist country in the West or where ever. Naija guys feel a woman is "pushy" or Lord help her, lose; if she tries to ask the guy out first talk less of marriage proposal. For me, Nigeria is not yet ready for such shenanigans. I say a big No!

Yep! Pretty cool you present this burning question! There is nothing dam bad in it! After all you people do go by the say "that wat a man can do a woman can do it even better"
Re: Should A Woman Ever Propose To A Man? by Nobody: 6:17pm On Jul 17, 2013
Its not 4 naija o.If u propose to a 9ja guy he wil surely take u as been desperate,n if he valued u b4,afta d proposal he wil neva value u again like b4.And thr wil b so much question running tru his mind,like "y d hell did she propose to me",is thr sumtin i dnt know"?Definately he wil start being suspicious.So ladies,let we d guys continue to propose to you,if u really like a guy n u want to spend d rest of ur life wid him,then giv us strong signals then any reasonable guy wil take it from thr.Asap

What do you mean by "it depends"?? Nigga don't play with me angry
Your girl is proposing to you not because she needs to but because she wants to. You keep looking at the act like a form of desperation when done by females. You need to change that mindset, she has a right to want to move the relationship forward just as you also do.

If you go for a chic that has the same mindset as you which I doubt, then you don't have to worry about it happening to you. You like the old way because it's the only way you know and are used to. Same goes for people that relegate women to the kitchen, people that believe men are automatic heads. There's nothing wrong with letting old ways die.
Re: Should A Woman Ever Propose To A Man? by blackbeau1(f): 6:50pm On Jul 17, 2013
A woman should never propose to a man because he will end up seeing you as the 'girl who didn't have the dignity to wait around till I asked for her hand in marriage'. Men in africa especially Nigeria,have a different psychology from those in other parts of the world.they want to chase you.robbing them of the chance to chase you makes them value you less. For instance,you would definitely place more value on something you searched for and bought than something which you picked from the street. Believe me,if a guy thinks that he would love to spend the rest of his life with you,he will propose to you.the mere fact that you are the one proposing means he doesn't want to marry you.

idnoble135: Yes she can!
But to give herself the dignity and respect she might lose if she tries it, she could better use suggestive ways to tell Him to propose.
As for me, any lady that would propose to me, must pay my groom price, sponsor the wedding, fix the honey moon, put food on the table, settle the bills and make me a full time husband. Lol!
in addition,she wld insult u and yr family because u wont merit her respect n honor as a husband.if u re ready to take dat, there re women out there looking for a guy like u but dont run back to nairaland when it get hurts

I have never believed in a man sponsoring the wedding by himself, that's just ridiculous.

Whether I propose to Ekwah tongue or not, I am still going to help pay half of the wedding bills.

I thought the wife's family sponsors the wedding though. Since I was a child, my dad always talked about how he would pay for my wedding and ish. I think it's the norm, I have no worries cool

Ladies, don’t believe any hype that a man
tries to sell you about us being “equals”
Dear sister woman... You are very wrong here... It's the female folks that brought up that notion and it's known as feminism... Ask kulyie

Read this thread.. It was started by a female

What's the point kneeling while the gal has indirectly asked some dope question, probably if you are eating & say it, she will accept.
