Proper Person to Propose?

Question

Ok I saw that thing on yahoo about the clever ideas to propose. I got to thinking. Should it always be the man to do it? I have heard of women doing it. I think that by accustom that the man should do it. Not to sound sexist. That is just a tradition to me. What are your thoughts? Women can do it because I know they have every right as a man. But do you also think that it should be the man and follow the traditions?

Answer 1

I would prefer it if, in my own situation, the man proposed to me, but I tend to be a bit old fashioned. I want him to open doors, ask me out, come pick me up at my house, all of that good stuff!

Answer 2

Hey... if she wants to propose... that's her business! But I'm not going to. Men are the fox, women the rabbit. It's pretty simple. I've never seen a rabbit successfully trap a fox! It's alot easier to lead, and let him think he's in control of the time line. Traditional gender roles, are traditional for a reason. Perhaps someday that'll change, until then, I'll stick with the way it is, was, and will be for quite a while to go! Where's my apron? I think I have the urge to bake a pie! lmao

Answer 3

Once in a while a man may be very much in love yet need someone to light a fire under him, but I think these instances are pretty rare. Something at the back of my old-fashioned mind whispers, "If he doesn't make the move himself, he probably just doesn't want to." Of course women have just as much right as men, but it's a matter of Mars and Venus, not of legality.

Answer 4

The man should always propose.

Answer 5

I would like it to be the man, becuase I would like to marry a guy who would be the leader in the home. Not because I'm lazy, etc., but because that is the role he is meant to take.

Answer 6

What difference does it really make? You will end up married (or not depending on the response) either way.
