When will it become more common for women to ask men "Will you marry me?" instead of men asking women "Will you marry me?"

its actually starting to become more common now. It has been tradition and passed down for the man to ask...and if u think about it, its a nice way to go- the woman feels like a princess when asked etc. Now if u have noticed on TV shows they are starting to reverse it- for example Gilmore Girls...and there was another but at the moment i cant think of which show...but im sure someone can help me out on it. anyways...i have a feeling its starting to change...but dude- is it such a big deal to ask?? isnt it fun for u guys to ask us girls??

Never! No matter how many women vote, raise children on their own (while holding down a job etc), and smoke in public. However, there are document (rare) cases, mainly lesbians 8-) but the tradition has been burned into the minds of females since the days when cavemen use to hit the woman on the head and drag them back to their cave. Which of course started the whole marriage senerio. And during the Wild West days that was definitely a NO NO. Maybe when the main form of transportation is something other than vehicles that travel on roads.

its becoming more common, but in the traditional sense, the man asks the womans father for her hand in marrage and then the man asks the woman to marry him. But women can ask men, but sometimes men feel like their masculinity has been kinda taken away from that aspect its the "guys thing to do" it all depends on the couple

Men were the ones that were - and still should be - the head of the house. Mind you, I am my husbands equal..but he is still the head over me.. that is how it should be.
I am not submissive, unless I choose that
Men are protectors, we are the heart..
blah blah blah
I'm sorry, but it romantic. In my case, I was asked to marry my husband, just as a huge black spider was about to topple over a 2 - 3 story farm house! I didn't take it serious.. for a week.
Read up on the actual reason for this, and remember, men use to ask the father for their daughters hand in marriage as well. Mine did

nicely, i'm not likely to trust a fact it really is not sponsored by technique of a suitable study. the human beings who make the most of on line relationship are not often a "random pattern." As a scientist, i visit't settle for that aspect as valid. in spite of the indisputable fact that, that is an extremely interesting statement made by technique of those on line relationship communities, and probably someone will opt for to do a real study a thanks to attempt the validity of that fact. contained in the authentic international, in case you requested me 8 years in the past what type of guy i needed as a lot as now, I in all likelihood does not have out correct defined my husband. wondering objectively about what you want, and then searching chemistry with someone you not in any respect anticipated i'm particular takes position typically. surely, we did an attempt many years in the past to confirm if eharmony would have matched us. We crammed out that annoyingly lengthy survey, and contained in the best it did not. a lot for that. In any adventure, i'm a White woman fortuitously married to a Hispanic guy... not in any respect idea two times about it.

Probably never. It has always been tradition for the man to ask the woman for her hand in marriage. Or her father! Women will always see proposal as the mans job, especially since men are suppose to be the protectors and care givers.

It works this way because this is how we were taught.Our parents and their parents that's how it works.
Women are doing more and more things that men do,and i really think that it's cool.Give it some time then we'll be asking why don't men ask women to marry them.

i asked my husband of nearly 5 yrs to marry me and he said yes.
mj's hubby- yes i sure did.
a major reason as to why men ask the woman to marry is based upon the tradition that has carried on ever since the early years in the biblical realm. a man has always asked for the hand of his bride when the attraction is such strength that he rallies his emotions to carry forth this ever popular question. nowadays, the effect of the feelings has shifted to the woman asking the man because the attraction of her to have this gentleman beside her is just as increasingly strong as it would be it the opposite way. overall, it is just a traditional and customary ettiquite for the man to initiate the question first.
hope that you like this answer to your question.

it goes back all the way to when men were in charge and women barely had any rights. Because men have always been physically dominant. Even since ancient days woman have always been portrayed as weaker.

Men do all the initiating in everything. You might disagree with that but there it is. A woman will let you die on the vine, no matter how desperately she wants you, rather than initiate.
In other words, simply asking the question is ignorant. You do it because there is no other choice. Men who don't understand this....get nothing.
