9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Im just gonna come straight out and tell you...I think it is RIDICULOUS!!!! Women want to be men and men want to be women these days. I cant do it. Women have so much power....too bad they dont know what to do with it. We just keep giving up everything and trust me....we will pay for it. Welcome to the Dog Pound
jane100 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Is this meant to be humerous , i did laugh a bit ....
BiscuitXOXO Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 If your point is to say that a woman shouldn't propose to a man...don't judge others! As long as your woman isn't dropping on her knees and busting out a ring, why do you care? Maybe your relationships are different. But not everyone is like you.
Author 9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Is this meant to be humerous , i did laugh a bit .... Jane....there are women now that are actually asking men to marry them....I mean....yes, it is pitiful!!

donnamaybe Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Oh, wow. I'm expecting Wally and "the Beave" to join this thread any minute.
collegeguy_24 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I fully support women proposing to men, its about time.
Author 9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Oh, wow. I'm expecting Wally and "the Beave" to join this thread any minute. Im not trying to be mean to anyone. I just think it is so crazy to propose to a man. It makes no sense.
Author 9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 I fully support women proposing to men, its about time. Why do you say this?
Stung Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Jane....there are women now that are actually asking men to marry them....I mean....yes, it is pitiful!! Why do you care? Does this threaten you in some way?
Author 9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Why do you care? Does this threaten you in some way? Why do you care that I care? Does this threaten you in some way?
collegeguy_24 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Why do you say this? Because now days most women expect men to put on grand shows for the proposal and frankly, most men don't want to. We prefer a simple yes or no answer. Also, a lot of men don't propose because they are afraid she'll say no, talk about great humiliation and ego buster. And, since a lot women want to be treated as equally as possible, this should help their cases, and stop the cries of hypocrisy from men.
BiscuitXOXO Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Im not trying to be mean to anyone. I just think it is so crazy to propose to a man. It makes no sense. Why do you think this? Personally, I would never propose to a man. My personal belief is that it's a man's place, blah blah. Yet, I understand that there are some relationships in which the woman is more dominant and aggressive. They exist. Get over it. And some ancient cultures were matriarchies. Maybe in those cultures the woman proposed, idk i'm not an anthropologist. But that doesn't mean they made no sense. If you argue that the reason those cultures died was because of giving power to women...:sick::sick:
iris219 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I’m not sure why you care what happens in the relationships of others. Women have been “proposing” to men for a very long time, just not in the way you think. Women often demand that their boyfriend’s propose, pick out their own ring (very common nowadays), and know exactly when it’s going to happen. Instead of the charade, I guess they’re being more straightforward now.

You know if your woman is going to say yes or no. She most like is going to say yes if the relationship is good. You know that. I think you dont ask because you like the way things are and dont want to do it. You are getting everything you want, everything you need so there is no need to give the woman any power by asking her to marry you.
denise_xo Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Jane....there are women now that are actually asking men to marry them....I mean....yes, it is pitiful!! Well, I more or less proposed to my partner, and I'm sorry but I'm not pitiful. Why exactly is this a problem for you? You say it doesn't make sense etc, but you don't explain why.
Stung Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I'm questioning why you seem to feel deeply enough about it to start a thread rife with multiple exclamation points. You mention giving up power, and that suggests feeling threatened. To clarify, maybe you can explain why you think it makes no sense. As for me, I am in no way threatened by what you think a proper proposal should be.

You are getting everything you want, everything you need so there is no need to give the woman any power by asking her to marry you. I don't ask because I'm not looking to get married right now. I want to finish somethings up first like getting my advanced degree, a solid financial platform, and the like. Also, right now, I don't now if the person I am dating is the one I want to marry. She has said the same thing to me as well so she is fully aware.
Velociraptor Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Since when do women propose to men? Care to give me some examples? Most women are hesitant to initiate a date for fear of rejection, nevermind asking a man to marry her. You are making an issue where there isn't one. Women simply don't propose to men in any significant numbers, the percentage of women who propose to men is probably like 0,00000000000000000000001%.... in other words, Nothing to worry about so you can just relax

It is one thing, to let him know we need to to this and all that jazz but getting on your hands and knees.....I guess. I dont care what anyone says, I wouldnt do it. No offense to any women who would.

Has anyone else notice she seems a little obsessed with power...what's so wrong with a man being a little vulnerable with the one he has decided to love?

Everyone has role as a man and as a woman. Not trying to be old fashion but dont you think some things dont need to change? Not only this but even other things that I have not mentioned.

Everyone has role as a man and as a woman. Not trying to be old fashion but dont you think some things dont need to change? Not only this but even other things that I have not mentioned. It would depend for me. I would ask her, but not make a grand gesture, just ask over a simple dinner at my or her place. If she decides to ask then she can go ahead, I just prefer its private and not public. I don't even know who the woman I'm going to marry is, if I even get married. Right now I'm not even sure I want to get married considering how I keep getting screwed with women.
Author 9Lives Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Has anyone else notice she seems a little obsessed with power...what's so wrong with a man being a little vulnerable with the one he has decided to love? Yes, feminine power. Not manly power or some bow down power. The beauty of a woman type of power. The lady-like qualities of a woman. The touch of a woman. The whole beauty of being a woman. Im sure you dont have a clue what I mean. But go ahead with your comments to follow.
