Okay, Ladies - do you think it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a guy? why are so many of us still waiting around for him to propose?
Now, there are inevitable inequalities between the sexes: Men can't have babies (yet) and women can't easily write their name in the snow by emptying their bladder.
The marriage proposal, however, is no longer assigned to the would-be groom. Today, women can propose just as easily as men can, and doing so does not carry the social stigma that it once did...

I do not see any harm, if a woman propose herself for a marriage, meaning thereby she takes the initiative first for the proposal of marriage. If she has healthy relationship with his friend/partner and if she feels that it will be appropriate to enter into a wedlock, she can propose to his man. I do not think that it would be taken otherwise by the man.
What is your own opinion about this issue?

well, just like what i've said with my article,i am in favor if a girl wants to propose to his guy first,coz nowadays we all know that we have a new generation.,its like before it should be man who will be responsible to work and earn to feed his famiy but now ., girls also go for work.right girls? and its just one way of showing how much you love the guy your just the one who feels that you wanted to settle down. just be careful and accept whatever decisions he has.,it wouldn't be that easy for a man to decide just like for us.

I entirely agree with your bold and interesting views.
Have you proposed to any guy? or do you plan to purpose to any guy in future?

if you can't wait then do it. today's society is now so liberal. that's why we encourage equality rights right? so what men can do, we can also do,even a lot better.

My friend and I think it's okay for a woman or a man to ask for marriage. It shouldn't matter who does it. In fact, it may be interesting if a woman does it. You are right, men or women should be able to ask and not be afraid. Have a wonderful day.

yes my dear friend...i think it is perfectly alright for a female to ropose marriage to a guy.I dont see anything wrong in thatI feel that both a man as well as the woman has the right to expres ther inner thoughts to express to each other and there is therefore no qualms as to whether who should take the first lead.Both man and woman are like two hands who should always be together.

For me, it is ok that woman will be the one who will propose to a guy for marriage.. But in the eyes of society especially here in the Philippines,it is not nice to see that woman are the one who is proposing to a guy.. Anyways, for as long as you love him then go for it.. Don't think what people says..
But for me, I still want that the guy will be the one who will propose marriage to me.. I want to experience and feel what other woman had experience when their husband had proposed to them..

Sure, why not...I say if you have it in you to propose first, then gop for it! I personally am old fashioned however and I like the man to propose first but really it doesn't matter anymore because women have come a long way since the stone age where they were hit over the head and dragged by their men into a cave ;-P

I don't think it's wrong for a woman to propose to her guy, I think it just depends on the couples' style. Myself, I could never propose to my guy because I want to experience the sappyness of being proposed to and surprised. Also, I'm not sure what my boyfriend would think if I proposed to him, I think it's something that he would like to do one day do himself and by me asking, it could ruin what he has planned (or atleast what I hope he has planned)!

I have never proposed I did ask a guy out when I was in 8th grade. He liked me alot but was to shy to do it. If I fould someone that I really loved & wanted to spend my life with I would ask them to marry me. I think it would be nerve wracking though.

I don't know if it's OK or not, but I don't want to do it.
I wanted to feel how the guy will make a lot of efforts and on how he'll be creative on doing that so.
marriage is a once in a lifetime experience for us and proposal comes to it. so I don't want to miss that moment. the moment where in the guy will kneel on you and wear your engagement ring into your finger, and of course I wanted to know how does it feel to answer for his question "will you marry me?"..LOL. (when I hear proposal, that thing comes into my mind.)

I think it's ok nowadays for a woman to propose to a man but a part of me still remains traditional. I think I may have at one point already hahaha. I don't really want to get married but out of the blue I asked him where he would take me if we were to elope. Then at the end of the conversation I told him, "I might dare you one day" and laughed.
This kinda reminds me of every little thing he does is magic, the Shawn Colvin version.

i think its alright for a women to propose a man, if she loves him truly, in reality women don't do that, because of shyness, they will give express them through facial expressions, body movement, eye movement etc

Why cant a woman proposes to a man???
My mum proposes to her partner, it was a leap year and she wrote him a note and put it in his lunch box so he would read it on his dinner!!
My step dad isnt one for attention, he prefers the quite life. They got married at Gretna Green with 2 close friends as their witnesses!!
I think its nice when women proposes!! Who says everything hs be done traditionally??
