If you had a woman you've been seeing for a long while, and you were thinking about marriage, if she proposed to you would you say yes?

It does make "the checks" you have to do during courtship to see if she's really into you much easier.

More women should propose, so they can move on from their loser boyfriends that have no interest in ever committing. If marriage is something that is important to the girl.

I've known multiple women that wanted to get married and claimed they'd never stay with a guy longer than X if they didn't propose, then years later they are with the same dudes that will never propose and just keep them on the hook. The women I know in this situation are bitter about it, but won't leave them.

No! A woman should patiently wait in her village til that special someone captures her, and takes her to the rival village on the other hill top.

I'm a big believer in old fashioned romance. The old ways are the best ways.

I have zero issues with this. Just get rid of yet another outdated gender role tradition. Whoever wants to propose, do it. What's it matter to anyone?

I posted this in the "Hume" thread a couple days back but somehow it seems appropriate to re-post it here!

:D

If she gets down on 1 knee to propose and I say yes I would expect her to linger down there for a bit?
