Timbuktou:Would such work for you? |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 6:03pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: Nope. Where is she rushing to? If she thinks she has to propose, then the situation's probably: 1. The guy doesn't love her enough or doesn't see enough value in her to do so. 2. The guy's not ready or thinks he's not ready. 3. The guy's a pansy. 4. She's a desperate wench. 5. The guy's awesome, like me. Either way it's not a good look. |

Timbuktou:Well, I think it's best to do if the guy is slacking, saves everyone at the end of the day. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 6:58pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: If the guy's slacking, she might want to consider if he knows what he wants and whether the slacking is pathologicalan and will show up in other areas. A man should know whether or not a woman is wife material enough and move in before she gets snapped up before she's snapped up before someone sharper takes advantage of the opportunity. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 7:06pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:And you don't think proposing is a way to find out if he knows what he wants? You do know some men have only the intention of stringing a woman along, while pretending to want her, right? |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 7:13pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: There are women wearing the most beautiful engagement rings who are being strung along as we speak. The proposal doesn't preclude being deceived, does it? Besides, a man may want to marry a woman and change his mind after the proposal. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 7:17pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:Ofcourse, but then, you'll know you did your best and he is the one with no conscience, at the end of the day, you'll know it's no fault of yours. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 7:27pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: Not all relationship will or should end in marriage. People don't always with marriage in view, both genders. So, if the girl is so interested in marriage she may give him some time, say five years after which she could ask him where the relationship is going. *straight face* |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 7:32pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:I know and agree that not all relationships will or should end in marriage but the idea is to let your partner know your intentions. You are kidding right? 5 years? I hope you know we ain't talking about teenagers here, for grown adults, 1 year is enough to know what you want with a relationship. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 8:09pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: What if both parties have different intentions? What if the guy's only looking for a baby mama? That was a joke. One year is plenty time, I agree. So, instead of a proposal a girl could just ask where the relationship is going. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 8:13pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:Then he should let her know, if she's cool with it, good for both of them, if not, she should go her way. Ofcourse she must have asked before deciding to propose na, only a f00lish woman will propose to a man who hasn't shown any sign of wanting to commit to her. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 8:19pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: He doesn't have to let her know anything until she asks. If she's satisfied she's done enough to deserve marriage she should ask and be prepared to move on, as more likely than not she was not considered good enough for marriage to begin with. There's such a shortage of quality wife material that a man who knows what he's doing would dally. I just don't see that happening realistically. People don't ask before proposal na. The proposal is the asking . To which the proposee may accept or decline. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 8:32pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:Wow! What are we even talking about? Two people who genuinely care about each other in a relationship know what the other usually is about, that's what dating is for, unless you are trying to say people go into relationships with the intention to lie or not be themselves. When I say ask, I meant, have an idea of what the relationship is all about. For a minute I forgot who I'm conversing with, you don't believe in love, so you'll never understand it like I do. |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by Nobody: 8:42pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
freecocoa: People can genuinely care about each other without getting married. Oprah Winfrey has been with her boyfriend longer than some so-called marriages have lasted. Bam! Not wanting to get married to someone isn't the same as lying to them. An idea of what the relationship is about? What does that even mean? Does a guy tell a woman he wants to marry her the day he asks for her number? Things generally tend to progress organically, and the decision to marry or not isn't time-determined. Nah, my opinion on love doesn't mean I don't understand attraction or affection. It only means I can process relationship issues with less emotion. It doesn't stop me from being a caring and wonderful husband or father. 1 Like |

Timbuktou:I thought we already have that part covered, people caring about each other and not wanting marriage, that is, I know and agree with this. Knowing what the relationship and each other is about means, talking about different issues, ranging from marriage, children, politics, relationships, sex, just general stuffs and knowing what the other thinks of it, that's how you get to know someone and what kind of relationship you might be having with person, how can you even ask if a man tells a woman he wants to marry her on the first date? Dude I'm not daft na. I believe a grown man knows if he wants to get married or not, now knowing whether he wants to marry the person he is with, is another thing, that's why people talk, there's no way one should propose to a person they don't know their stance on marriage, that's just dumb and crazy. |

freecocoa: Which answers the OP, doesn't it? Thread closed |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by freecocoa(f): 9:25pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
Timbuktou:It doesn't. I'd like to think the woman proposing already knows the man is interested in marriage. |

pickabeau1: Pardon me but very ediotic reasoning. In language, there has to be words that distinguish the two genders, just because one wants equal rights does not mean she wants to have words used to describe another gender. With your reasoning why shouldn't fathers be mothers after all they are trying to get longer leave to be with their babies. Infact, why differentiate at all, why not cats and dogs, why not call them all dogs? Why not just call everything "beings" no need for differentiating between genders and species.. A woman wanting to be called king defies the whole concept of equal rights, the words used to described her should be able to equally stand against the word used to describe him. Use your brain joor, why isn't prince phillip called king if a queen is still by a king? Trolls! |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by pickabeau1: 12:55pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
Cats and dogs now equal to gender differences I wonder who's the idïot Smh...leaping into something beyond your comprehension |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by crackhaus: 6:48pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
edwife:Lol... and she didn't fail to respond |
Re: Should A Woman Propose To A Man...thoughts? by kandiikane(m): 9:57pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
pickabeau1:See, I did not call you an ediot but your reasoning. With your reasoning, nothing stops you from going further to say exactly what you said but with other species instead. There is nothing comprehensible about your statement, it is just foolish to say something as silly as that. Why queen why not king, following your level of reasoning, I say, why cat, why not dog. No need to distinguish in pickabeau's mind. |
