Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 3:32pm On Jul 12, 2007
i heard that our dear Nigerian guys dont even propose,
they always find a roundabout way of asking

One guy tried to do the whole romantic thingy
and put the ring in the cake on vals day
He was lucky the girl didnt swallow tthe ring, choke and die

Some girls even buy their own wedding ring, imajin
guys ooh, try abeg!

@gamine

Maybe Chichi is right, the pix in ur profile isn't just eye catching. Naturally, u might b beautiful though.

Reference to your first post,
Its just that some Nigerian girls seem to push too much about d marriage thing. somehow assuming the responsibility of the guys.

The more responsible and patient ones I can assure u get a decent proposal from the guys.

@chichi
U accused Gamine of being ugly, yet u're not bold enough to drop ur own pix 4 scrutiny.
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 4:06pm On Jul 12, 2007
Whether my pic is eye, catching or whuteva

This Thread is about Nigerian guys so pls stick to d topic!!!

Nigerian men dont propose, They just assume you know you are getting married and also assume you want same,
I am engaged to my end and there was no ring presented, he just told me he wants his parents to go see mine
and next thing he is introducing me to his friends as his fiance, very unromantic! but i will marry him grin

Biko forgive him,it's not his fault.
He means well though.

Our men forget that asking a woman to marry you is critical.
She never forgets where and how
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Nobody: 6:14pm On Jul 12, 2007
My hubby did propose to me in a very ordinary way.
He said it while doing laundry and I still appreciated it.
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 6:16pm On Jul 12, 2007

hmm, nawa ooh

Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by LBabe(f): 6:18pm On Jul 12, 2007
All my life I had dreamt of the perfect proposal,
you know,nice dress,dinner, the works,
I could have killed him when he said to me
in his friends dirty room,lets get this marriage thing over with,
i'll tell my folks to come see yours!

Never lived  or slept together with my fiancee and I'm proud to say so.
It wasn't easy but we did it and I respect him for that.

I slept with mine from the day he asked me out and it hasn't reduced his love for me,
he still begs for it! i do small shakara then dive into bed
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 6:23pm On Jul 12, 2007
Okey babyosisi
i tot u said while doing the laundry, so,

Anyways Lbabe, u r just lucky
i pray u guys dont crash
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Nobody: 6:23pm On Jul 12, 2007
Gamine,you must understand that we have a different culture.
And moreover it's actually romantic to have a man be himself and act naturally.
All that flowers this,dinner that,throw the ring in the champagne,seems fake and unreal.

The most important thinbg is the character and quality of the man not his proposal skills.

Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 6:27pm On Jul 12, 2007
i know ma,
its jst that its goin to be that only one time
and u want to make it special,

i know we have a different culture
but these days, cultures do merge
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Nobody: 6:31pm On Jul 12, 2007
Nigerian men are very romantic in their own ways.
Just because babaosisi doesn't serve me breakfast in bed,doesn't mean he 's any less romantic.

We should leave oyibo to their culture and  not compare ourselves to them.
Our women have babies and spend 3 months at home being pampered while the average American is back to work 2 weeks later.
I agree our men ought to learn some of the good in Oyibo culture but let's not down the ones who refuse to.
Most still love their wives.

Nigerian guys don't get the oppurtunity to propose as Nigerian girls talk about marriage from day 1.
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by karlken(m): 6:47pm On Jul 12, 2007
@Gamine.NOLONGTHING!   Just tell me how u want me to propose to u and I,ll do that stat.I am a very romantic guy,u know. kiss kissIt is wrong to assume that a guy ur with knows all ur expectations.U cld be doing urself a world of good by mere chipping in ur proposal pattern on an ordinary date.Guys learn fast u know. wink.Also make sure ur not d 1 to propose,let him do it when convenient!
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Gamine(f): 6:56pm On Jul 12, 2007
lol

He most to do it ooh
if he dosnt i will move on then!
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Nobody: 6:58pm On Jul 12, 2007
infact anywoman can turn her man into what she wants him to be if she has the right skills.
Men love submissive,non arguing women who adore them and see them as the epitome of strength and intelligence.
Most broken marriages will still be together if only the woman learns to play her cards right.

that is the height of desperation.
the worst is moving in with him,you're setting yourself up for a heartbreak.
our men may do all that gra gra but when they are ready to settle,they still prefer traditional girls with unexposed cleavages grin

Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by donLEXY(m): 7:14pm On Jul 12, 2007
well I believe we STILL PROPOSE IN NIGERIA, Ooops, sorry I will propose do not let me talk about others
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by t4teens(f): 7:51pm On Jul 12, 2007
in my point of view,i think the women do more of the proposing than the men.thats because the population of women searching for husbands are rampant.at other times the lady can be in love with the guy,then she goes ahead to express her feelings.from there,they can get along together and later get married smiley
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by dreday(m): 8:03pm On Jul 12, 2007
I think it's all been said by sammy.
If Nigerian men don't propose,it's the ladies fault.
From the very first day, all you hear them talk about is "when we marry, this 'n that".
We really don't get the chance to do it right.
Don't misundersatand me!!!!!!!!!
We really do love our women, but you 'gals' just don't allow us to do our thing.
Guys,abi no be so
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by Mandora(f): 10:56am On Jul 13, 2007
I dont think dey do. It just gets 2 a point in d relationship where he begins 2 ask abt seein d pple of d girl or d girl begins 2 ask when he's going 2. The ring issue comes when they r buying stuff 4 d wedding
Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by isokoh(m): 2:51pm On Jul 13, 2007

Re: Do Nigerian Guys Propose? by finemocha(f): 4:38am On Jul 14, 2007
Lbabe

that's a funny story, maybe u should ask him u want a ring. U might be surprised to get one. As of me, a ring is important. because i wont open my mouth and say im engaged with out proof. SO a ring is actually a important symbol.
