manugbo: i think marriage should be allowed to take its natural procedures. if not im very sure the woman will have to endure and not to enjoy that marriage for the rest of her life .

if u ar a lady and u know that age is no longer on your side, instead of u to be dat desperate. pls u can adopt, or u may look for some stupid Married men
(cheaters) or even single gys who can help u father and take care of the child.

pls dont jump into anything on trouser.because it could be a terrible experience for u

I concur. Ladies be warned. Prevention is better than cure. Not everyman you are in courtship with is husband material . No amount of prayer and fasting can save a marriage that breaks the fundamental rule of the bible. We know but don't speak the truth.

adora4u1:

And how many guys on this thread have said they MARRIED the woman who proposed to them? It's very easy to answer a hypothetical question!


Thank u sis. Most guys would obviously liked to be proposed to for obvious reasons. Whether they are married to someone who proposed to them is another matter. This means its simply a dream of theirs .

There is nothing bad in a lady proposing to man.What matter most is the way at which she proposes to a man,that is, it musts be indirect approach.Also,a lady must also look out for reasonable,articulateand intelligent guy before such approach is made.Not just any Guy.

trust me,no matter how much i love my girlfriend,if she beats me to doing d proposal,i might get scared...l mean,it's no more a question of if i love her or not, but as a man,i know why i'm moving at my own pace..so its really unrealistic for her to propose first.To me,i believe dat move would only slow tins down.

We should not forget that the writer of that particular scripture was a man. What about she that finds a husband, like ruth did Boaz, did she not find a good thing ?

I thought Christians said that the Bible is inspired by God. If so, why then are you insinuating that the gender of the writer dictated the structure of that verse?

And to the guys, will you marry a lady, that asked you out, wooed you and propose to marry you, if she is your ideal wife material ?

Ruth did not propose to Boaz, she only provided a platform for a connection between them. And Boaz being a noble man knew when he found the right woman for him unlike most guys now who are only sensitive to sex and bed.

This matter is a matter of personal choice for goodness sake, it's not a debate. Naturally men are hunters, if he chases and catches the prey,it is so sweet in his mouth but if it comes too cheap, 98% of guys won't actually value the marriage on the long -run.

So if I'm a lady I won't do it, and as a man, it turns me off when a lady asks me out, it happens to me almost every week. MaRriage is a far more complicated issue, a man should be careful before making such a terrific decision.

The scripture is God's word. It is not open to amendment or reverse analysis. His word is final. The bible never talks about "she finding a good husband" so this is no argument.

In the context of "he findeth a good wife," of course, "he" meant a man. And I also believe that every "he" in the Bible refers to a man. Educate me if I am wrong; I am always willing to learn.

A lady can go after a guy she likes. Its an art just like a man toasting a babe.
Some ladies have given me subtle signals that they're interested. I remember one telling my friend that she likes me, but never came directly. Some have tried to seduce while some did not know how to go about it.

For the lady, its all about having the technique

For those of you who have been erroneously quoting Proverbs 18:22, here are two alternatives to that scripture

One night as I lay in bed, I yearned for my lover.
I yearned for him, but he did not come.
2 So I said to myself, “I will get up and roam the city,
searching in all its streets and squares.
I will search for the one I love.”
So I searched everywhere but did not find him.
3 The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds,
and I asked, “Have you seen the one I love?”
4 Then scarcely had I left them
when I found my love!
I caught and held him tightly,
then I brought him to my mother’s house,
into my mother’s bed, where I had been conceived.

Songs of Solomon 3:1-4

1 In that day seven women
will take hold of one man
and say, “We will eat our own food
and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
Take away our disgrace!”

isaiah 4:1

You are bent on making arguments whether it is wrong or right, the question is "TELL US IF YOU WILL MARRY SUCH A WOMAN" I have seen relationships that started like that and the man will always say "that is how you pushed yourself to me" on the long-run such marriage is prone to be filled with NEGLECTS and LACK OF VALUE. If it can work for you, then I wish u all the best

Oshe! Let them know its possible and not all men will take you for granted. I guess before proposing to him, you have measured his level of maturity in handling such... Thats what I am saying. If you are convinced about it, then go for it gurl!

If she is my ideal wife material? Ideal you mean? Well, yes, yes and a big yes!!! What am I looking for again?

It is a bit dicey anyway. I have had ladies propose to me some jokingly and some quite seriously. Some had even said they would foot the bill, and a couple are non Nigerians. However, I turned them down for a myriad of reasons. Not my kind of person, sometimes I feel they are too cheap, sometimes I feel they are a bit desperate and sometimes I feel that it's plain silly.
But the bottom-line is they are not my kind of person. Else, I wouldn't even let her propose to me, I would propose to her if she's the kind of person I want.
But if my ideal wife-material does propose to me, it's a yes from me straight up.

Mrs.Chima:
There are many couples in America where women have proposed to the men. Many of those couples are still happily married.

It is all about the person.

Liar. Are you the only nairalander living in america?
