proposed to you? Ladies would you propose to the man you are dating?
After proposing what next? Who goes to see whose parents and who pays for the marriage and wedding?

Does the world and its cousins need to know who did what in terms of the proposal? And if you date someone who forward thinking you sit down and discuss budgets.

Be like op is making this proposing thing an argument where she disprove people giving their realistic view, 'Womrn doing d Proposing thing go well o' and no lay down rule on who to do the proposing so she's winning the argument.

, But I guess she forgot winning argument dont win reality..

Even if men do the proposal, it is female that still ultimately choose the Male. And a woman will only propose to a man she has already choosed. So men do not hold any mating power by proposing. Accepting his proposal is merely a confirmation of him being chosen in the first place. In all species including humans, the female has always being the chooser.

I dont mind a woman proposing to me, but again, it all depends if I like and compatible with her.
Your assertion if filled with holes.

You didn't answer my question.


If she proposes and then expect me to go and see her people then it is a trap. That's not how it works.

A woman may Choose a man, that does not mean the man will choose her,
or are you saying you have never been in a situation where a woman you dont fancy does all she can to impress you?

If a woman hold all the keys why dont they walk and to any man and take them home.

for a union to work, the man comes forward AND the woman also comes forward, the woman does not hold all the aces, she has a say in it.

What you are implying is sex not marriage, both are 2 different things, a cos a woman cant do jack if the man is not interested in marriage, so you see the woman has her own key and the man has his, without both keys nothing works, So its not up to the woman (alone).

provided its not the normal rubbish i find everywhere on social media where couples propose in a shopping mall, if thats how she will play it, i will act like i never knew her and walk out on her.

If a woman wants to marry a man, encourage him , firmly to do the needful. If he is footdragging, he probably doesn't want to marry the woman.

You're right, and your last paragraph suggest you understood it in the context that I meant. Since animals also dont get married, it further demonstrate that my stance is on sex not marriage. We are on the same page afterall.

Having said that, in sexual non conjugal relationship, there are exceptional cases where men can hold sexual power, such as a younger virile man with a post-menopausal woman, and if the woman needs him the most.

Hell no. There are somethings that should be left entirely to men.

Don’t marry intelligent women this way your ego is not threatened when said mentioned wife eclipses you from a career perspective simply because she is smart. A man who gets his nose out of joint because the wife earns more than him, despite never disrespecting him in anyway or causing him to feel less than a man has ingrained misogynistic traits that won’t change regardless of the situation. You seem like the missionary only type of guy and I mean that with the uttermost respect.

then I dont find the proposing to be an issue, its just a step (though an important one) towards a journey that will take things to another level.

1 or 2 years from being married we may even forget who proposed, cos we will be dealer with a larger than life picture then, provided there is mutual respect from both parties, cos even men that do propose respects their wives.

the woman proposing is an issue for some men because they dont see the bigger picture.

If there is anything that you need to learn today try to be objective. I know it might be mission impossible but we don’t give up on those that have cognitive deficits. Asking a question seeking to see different perspectives on something that is becoming prevalent is not about winning. It’s called a discussion. Maybe you don’t have many of those as your prefer to view things in a blinkered way. I don’t limit my life to a pond life point of view.

Now that u agreed it's 'mission impossible' u should have made the question an open minded type u know, u asked as if ure at the bridge of doing the impossible and only wanted cognitive view probably to reinforce ur mind or did u still need to b tutored on how to ask an open minded question as different from self help??

Re: As A Modern Man Would You Accept If Your Current Girlfriend by raymi: 2:08pm On May 12, 2019
I know I'm a bit late to the party but I feel compelled to weigh in, so permit me OP, if you will.

There are different layers to this IMO. In an ideal world, there should be nothing wrong in the woman initiating the process of marriage or proposing to the man. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world.

First off, men are able to deal with rejection better than women so it is unadvisable to encourage women to take this step as it might backfire especially because it's unconventional. Secondly, there's something that just seems off that approach. The lady will want to keep it secret because it's something that will raise eyebrows if people hear about it and it's usually better to avoid negative publicity or reputation. It might also cause future issues between you and your partner as he might fail in some of his responsibilities using the excuse of his unreadiness.

I don't think it's wrong for a lady to do it because every relationship is unique but I also think it's wiser to follow the natural order. If a lady has been with her beau for some time, she should know where the relationship is headed. She should have deduced the man's plans from their intimate discussions. She can encourage him and try to speed up the process. A lady should understand her man perfectly and know what she needs to do or say to see if he's really ready to spend a lifetime with her and encourage him to take the next step. If he's not ready, it would be as lucid as the blue sky, then she has to tell herself the truth and not make excuses for him and ultimately, she has to make a decision.

It is dangerous to assume that a man will accept a lady's proposal simply because she feels the man loves her unconditionally. Men have the uncanny ability to demonstrate a substantial amount of love for women and still not be ready to marry. Men also say a lot of things including promising marriage to make women happy or get favors from them so don't play yourself. Marriage is a huge commitment in every sense of the word. It is a totally different ballgame from relationships. Furthermore, a man can accept your proposal at that moment so as not to make you feel bad but keep you waiting long after the 'engagement' which makes the whole thing futile.

Lastly, as a woman, it is important to know your worth. If you have tremendous value, a man would do anything to speed up the process and marry you as he would dread the thought of losing you forever to another man. He would hustle harder, run through iron coated walls just to be with you as fast as possible. Don't give any man the opportunity to see you as desperate or downplay your value. If a lady has not gotten to the level of being extremely desirous, she has to work on herself and make herself that much delicious so much that suitors would be falling head over heels for her. My two cents.

I agree with this.
But it's also a double edged sword when it comes to women earning more in that a lot of women cannot respect their husband if he consistently earns less than her. Even so called progressive women who start out initially feeling happy that her family is a compliment to herself of how progressive she is...a lot of them with time/years start to find it harder to respect dude.

It's not just men who emit that problem.

It is possible to do it if he lays some boundaries as to how her money factors in to things, but most women don't play that "our money" thing respectfully when they are consistently bringing the larger share.

Most not all women....if you choose wisely whom you wife a lot of issues will be circumnavigated but a lot of you men place emphasis on the very superficial at the expense of of the core qualities.
