Not to me. But other men might have a problem with it. I guess it depends on the people.

Its not wrong to ask a man to marry you. But, why would you? Are you looking to support him? Are you going to provide him with a home and a family? Are you going to love him when he is old and Grey? Can you be there for him if he is no longer able to take care of himself. When you really want to be married look at all the possibilities. and ask yourself whether you should ask him to marry you.

Absolutely not, provided you are not asking a man who is a "gentleman". The one who believes ladies go first, always hold the door, actually put the toilet seat down, etc. That type of man may feel threatened, for he may feel its his place to do the asking. I would suggest that you have a male version of an engagement ring or some other type of sentimental item. I would also suggest pulling out all the stops as a man USUALLY does when he pops the question, not all men do though. I would also make sure that he is ready for you to ask for his hand in marriage because there is nothing worse that putting your heart out there for it to be broken. Good Luck to you!

Absolutely not! In this day and age there is no reason why asking should still have to be a guy thing only. Resorting to dropping hints and the like is childish behavior that has no part in a good relationship.
As long as you know this is the right guy for you then ask away! It would be nice if you had some kind of ring for him when you ask, but it's certainly not required.

No, it's not wrong at all!! Even though it is traditional for a man to ask a woman to marry them, a woman asking a man is not a bad thing. What matters most is that you are in love and want to share the bond of marriage with him! :D

It's not "wrong", but if he doesn't ask her, there is a REASON. Traditionally, and even in modern day, it is customary for the man to ask the woman, as he SHOULD. Men are predators and like to do the chasing. They may say otherwise, but it's inherent in all men, instinctual.
A woman asking a man to marry her reeks of desperation, and even if he says "yes", his heart won't be in it, and there are good chances the marriage will probably not last since he did not initiate it.
Sorry!

Why don't you just ask him to support you financially and take care of all of your needs for the rest of your life? And while you are at it, ask him to support all the children that you have, too. I hope you can detect the sarcasm here and hope you can understand why the man traditionally does the asking. Unless, of course, you are willing to support him financially for the rest of his life. Then go ahead and ask him!

No its not wrong , but if the blokes not ready it could make him feel trapped and you rejected.
A really clever girl will get the man to ask her and let him think it was his idea.

It is definently not wrong. I would be so touched and flattered if a woman I was in love with surprised me with 'the question'. Im also wishing that that's where I was in my life so Im just day dreaming right now.

In this day and age, girls can do anything.
But you could always just drop hints that you want to get married, instead of asking the question flat out.

It's not wrong, but since it's untraditional, I would make sure that the man isn't disappointed by relinquishing the opportunity. He may be relieved.
