Is It Ever Acceptable For A Woman To Propose To A Man! by Princek12(m): 4:45am On Oct 08, 2011
My Nairaland brethren, imagine this scenario. A lady is dating a guy who has not proposed to her. She has been dating him for, say, five years and has been patiently waiting for the day he presumably gets on his knees and pops the question. This day, however, has yet to come, and she is running out of patience. Hmmm! What to do, what to do? She decides to take matters into her own hands: she decides that she will get on her knees and pop the question. One day while she and her boyfriend are having dinner in a fancy restaurant, she, in the presence of her friends, kneels down and proposes to him, and he says yes.

Now to the issue. I understand that many women claim that what a man can do, a woman can do better, so do you think those women are better at proposing to their boyfriends? Moreover, nowadays, women are making good money and working in careers in which their predecessors could not work, so do you think that this new found economic power changes the dynamics of a man-woman relationship, allowing women to deviate from traditional norms and propose to men? In addition, many women do not even change their names after marriage, so do you think that same rationale can be applied to women asking their boyfriends for their hand in marriage?

Why not? If they claim to love each other shouldnt be a big deal, but not proposing as per say, maybe
just a hint that patience is not one of her virtues grin grin grin

Independent Women, 21st Century women, women fighting for equal rights, women fighting against gender compartmentalization and marginalization, and then when it comes to Women proposing to men, they back slide? Hell NO! It is acceptable! Any woman that says it's not acceptable is quintessentially hypocritical!. . . . Atleast, the guy in the example said yes! That's a step in the right trajectory! cool

If she should do so, trust the man to use it to insult her one day.

Common people, this is 2011 - not 1211. What's really wrong in it? @Orikinla, I would not use this to insult her anyday. If I dont want her, I'd just tell her politely that it cannot work. also, realize they've been dating for 5 years now, so they know each other very well.

It's 2011 and many things aren't the same.   A woman proposing to you isn't the end of the world.   undecided  

Some women do not want to wait and will make the first move.

Would you marry me, Sexkillz?  (looking innocent and sweet)

It's acceptable; so far she knows that proposing to her man mean she's asking for his hand in marriage<---Which implies that; she has to take the role of the man henceforth;

1) She's getting the ring (of course).

2) Her family and her are gonna be ones to visit the guy's family (for "introduction" and all).

3) She's paying the groom price.

3) The guy should walk down the aisle; "Here comes the groom, all dressed in black"; "You may kiss the groom".

4) Her husband is taking her last name. (optional).

5) Her husband and her kids are her "responsibilities".

E.t.c.

Who wil finance d wedding?

Same thing i'm wondering. Proposing is a lot more than asking for marriage, it is a declaration of devotion and an affirmation of capability. So if a girl proposes, guy says yes, what next? He calls his banker and asks for his financial statement or she begins to raise funds? Just my thoughts anyway.

Baby Boy, if that's the case, then why does the man, after proposing, automatically take those roles I listed?

I don't think you guys know the meaning of asking someone to officially come into your life -- that automatically makes you the HOST!
Re: Is It Ever Acceptable For A Woman To Propose To A Man! by donguutti: 6:44pm On Oct 08, 2011
yes, it would be acceptable ,but not now maybe in the near future, 21st century women liver neva reach for that kind of action. how would she tell her friends about the proposal
"i knelt down, looked into his eyes and asked him, would u marry me" grin grin

@orinkinla "chi" wouldn't it be nice if a lady proposes to you, cheesy grin at least to get u off the market

BTW would the guy wear the diamond engagement ring if yes, then am for it.

Wow
hold onto your horses lady grin, a woman proposing to her man doesn't automatically mean he is exempt from his male duties, perhaps he could be a tad undecided and just needed the extra ooomph from his lady.

Relax.
