Re: Lady Proposing To A Man by InkedNerd(f): 6:42am On Mar 26, 2011
@OP: I think your question should have been "What do you think of women proposing to me?" I don't think its a matter of whether or not it is wrong. I don't see why it is a problem. There are no rules or laws that say a woman can't propose to a man. In some cultures, women propose to men.

And what makes it sad?

what happened to the man been a man and a woman a woman,huh??

Because a woman can do it doesn't mean there aren't any values or that the man is no loner a man. What's normal to you may be abnormal to someone else--your idea of normality isn't everyone else's idea.

Normality or not,norms and values should not be thrown into the bin,
just because one has mix up with these controversial western culture and life style.

where i come from in Africa,it is the man who does the proposing not the other way round,call my
idea ''archaic'' if you want.that is the African culture and it remains the best still.

A man is meant to play his role and not the woman playing the role of a man,if he doesn't remember
to propose during the relationship,he should be reminded of his duty. SHIKENA!

@OP There's nothing bad in a woman proposing to a man! The problem is that we are stuck! It doesn't say anywhere in a religious book or any constitution that it's wrong, so therefore it's right. It just depends on what you believe in.
Re: Lady Proposing To A Man by Phate07(m): 6:59am On Mar 26, 2011


Not normal, but quite possible.

It has nothing to do with anything being western. In many non-western society it happens--even in African societies. Because you don't like the idea doesn't mean that society as a whole should just drop it. And I didn't call your idea archaic. If you wanna call it that then be my guest. I was only saying that what is normal to you may be abnormal to someone else. Your own norms don't rule or dictate others. I have no problems with values. A woman proposing to a man doesn't change the value system within our society.

There's nothing wrong with a woman proposing to a man. We're all human beings in this world, and no one is above the other. Certain cultures and societies may think ill of it, but in my opinion there is nothing wrong at all about that practice.

Love is love, and it doesn't matter who pops the question first.

I am not trying to change anyone's idea or beliefs,
i am only saying that it is not RIGHT,stick to your point of view.
i am not to argue with anyone about their beliefs or ways of putting their ideas through,
i wonder what would happen in the long run,when things starts going sour,the man would go''you proposed to me in the first place,
i didn't'' and in such cases,what would the woman do?? cry and regret ,i guess.where lies her dignity,by then??
sometimes,one have to think through some things before blotting it out,cause when stuffs starts happening,my dear,everyone would carry their cross
and some cross are heavier than others,truss me.


please you don't have to keep quoting me,stick to your ideas and i'll stick to mine,thank you. smiley

I never said you were trying to change anyone's ideas. Even if they did argue and the man says something like that, so what? The same scenario can be applied if the woman were to say that to the man and the man's dignity can still be as you mentioned. Being male doesn't mean he would have more dignity than her if such a situation were to arise. Yes, we have different views but the whole point of this forum and this thread is to exchange ideas. If you don't wanna engage in this discussion with me then that's fine.

A woman doesn't have to be a hardcore feminist to do something like that. I saw a woman on tv do it and absolutely nothing about her came across as a feminist. lol, it was a black woman by the way.

Then i feel sorry for her man. He's leaving the fucking decisions to the woman. And thats not always good in a relationship.

Its just that this is a 'man's world', and there are some things that are expected of a man. And thats one of them. Just a matter of 'what-is' and 'what-is-not'. Simple.

Sure. The same way i believe 'white is white' and 'black is black'.

@goldieluk
I don't think there's anything with a girl asking the guy as long as she loves him. Tell him you love him when you do, if you don't do it then someone else would do and be happy about it for ever.
And I don't think asking the guy out automatically makes the ladie the man and the man a woman, the man's role is not in the asking out but in the susteinance of the realtionship. And if he truly loves the lady and say yes then  he should be matured enough to play out his role well as the head of the relationship.
It doesn't make sense thinking of the day things would go bad and the guy would say afterall you're the one that proposed  T̶̲̥̅Ơ̴͡ me, we are not in naija home video here pls. A matured and responsible man would device a better way of solving his family issue than putting blames on the lady.
So in all of these, it is not wrong for the lady  T̶̲̥̅Ơ̴͡ propose.

For most Americans it would be looked upon as being desperate on her part.

so could you erase my name please?? cool
Re: Lady Proposing To A Man by HaveSense1(m): 9:01am On Mar 26, 2011
The only reason why most people think it is wrong is simply because of the fact that they see it as weird. We've been brought up knowing that the man has to make all the important decisions, make the first move, etc etc. But this is 2011, not 1911. Some rules still apply, but our view on relationships has vastly changed ever since then.

People think that if the man accepts the proposal by the woman than that man is viewed as weak, feminine, unfit to be a man. I say to them, if you think that way, than you, too, are unfit for such a thing because your pride and "manliness" alters your sense of reason and judgment. I see nothing wrong with the sight of a woman proposing to a man.

If you do, then that's you. What I would advise, however, is get with the times, because this is a rapidly changing world. What you thought was right today may not be right tomorrow. Don't be stuck in the stone age because you're not open to change.
Re: Lady Proposing To A Man by Phate07(m): 9:45am On Mar 26, 2011


HaveSense, you are not making any sense. So you would rather have your woman be the head of your famil? Huh?

Dude, you need to fucking wake up from your slumber.
