How do you feel about women proposing to men??
Women proposing
And no I am not going to propose to my libra.
I was off facebook for a while and of course when I was back on the other day everyone had gotten engaged or married...and one of my exes had been tagged in a pic by his gf of him wearing a wedding band type ring with the title "he said yes!"
I thought maybe it was a joke...but it turns out it wasn't.
Does anyone else find that totally emasculating or is it just me?

Honestly? I can see myself doing that. BUT I adore the traditional role of the man proposing, and I know my Cap wouldn't have it any other way.
she's a Libra I believe
He's an Aqua
Putting it like that it makes way more sense haha

How you get'em is how you keep'em.
I'm very Venusian and lazy in love. A man has to do alot of the "relation-shipping." Luckily for me all have been willing to do the work... Venus Leo, Venus Libra, Mars in Taurus, Mars Aqua...
Extend your hand, I will take it, lead me forward...

I'm not even super traditional ...I don't believe in the dude asking dad for her hand and all that because it's 2016 and women aren't property
Idk why I feel the way I do about this but it's weird to me.

Why not? He said yes so obviously neither party involved finds it emasculating...
Posted by MIIeFiskSo, he doesn't get an egagement ring then?
Probably more progressive societies would be more open to this. The US is very much still filled with conservative traditionalists and a woman proposing to a man would be considered shocking even though (let's say) both are equals in career and and finances... and she would probably be tagged as "desperate."
Would I do it? I would propose we elope and not have to explain our shit to people.
Someone explain to me why my last post is blank

I'm serious ...his new profile pic is his hand (with engagement ring) on a sunflower .........
I just. Can't.
I don't want to be a judgey bitch but that is so weirdddd to me
I totally dig your idea of just getting eloped though. Then people wouldn't feel the need to hound me about when I'm getting married

How do you feel about women proposing to men??
It's only proper on Leap Year. 🙂

Are they Scorpio women? Because they like that stuff.
Are you mixing Stingers up with another group of women?

Well i don't really care as long as people are ok with it, if its their thing why not,but i would def wouldn't want my woman to ask me this q, would feel akward and not manly at all, i'm the man so i feel like i should be initiating thing like this. 🙂
Posted by AliensusedourbogrollYeah I thought of same sex marriages and immediately felt like an asshole
I don't see it as a big deal. With gay marriage, the notion of the man proposing is becoming obsolete.
There's nothing desperate about, I just see it as a women exercising some power over her future. Traditional doesn't equal proper. If that was true then that would mean men who don't propose on bended knee aren't doing it properly because the bended knee proposal is traditional. Proposing is a personal thing and can be done in so many types of ways and that's all there is to it.
I think it's ok for a woman to propose. But I mean at some point it's really just a formality because I'm pretty sure it should be a topic already in your relationship.
Society and traditions are definitely to blame because every time I try to see it a differently I think about whenever people announce they are getting married everyone immediately wants to know how HE proposed
I have no problem making the first step or initiating a new level of the relationship, friends or lovers.
Posted by brianafayI disagree.
I'm not even super traditional ...I don't believe in the dude asking dad for her hand and all that because it's 2016 and women aren't property
I don't believe that women are treated as property when this happens.
It's called R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Being demeaned as property would be if a dowry was offered.
Posted by TaurusBull1977Respect for what? I am a free adult, no one needs to ask my parents permission to ask me anything. It's my decision and they will be happy if I am happy.Posted by brianafayI disagree.

We just bought a new one
But eveytime my Libra goes over there he makes a comment like" wow nice tv "
Posted by brianafayHe ask your father for your hand in marriage....before he ask you.
I know my dad too...if someone asked him if they could marry me he'd be like why the f you asking me? Ask her
Lol
Your father is not there to facilitate or orchestrate anything.
Just a pre-nodding form of approval.
It is still respect.
You still have the final say-so.
How is this demeaning?
This man married this woman in prison and had the ceremony after.
Not even jail bars prevented this man from marrying this woman.
This woman proposed...and yet no one can call this woman Mrs. Jones.
She's still not a wife.
When a man wants to marry a woman, he marries her.
Point Blank.

I just don't think it's necessary...but then again, we are probably coming from a different place...I don't feel I need my parents approval for anything. I am an adult. Do I seek advice? Yeah sometimes...but I don't need permission
i think it's better for the woman to let the man know what kinda ring she likes so he knows it's time lol
Posted by brianafayOh snap libra man is about to run to his boys with a ring on his fingerrrrr
How do you feel about women proposing to men??
Lol not in this life time
I still think it's ok for a woman to propose and understand the viewpoints. I also think everyone still fantasizes of the traditional proposal, its like it has been ingrained in our heads since toddler age.
@MillieFisk,
I hid my last comment because there appears to be some confusion.
The woman in the 1st picture (Remy Ma) did the time in prison.
She was sentenced to prison for a crime that she committed.
He loved her enough to marry her and waited for her to get out of prison.
Nothing was holding him back from making this woman his wife.
Not even prison bars.
The heart wants what it wants.
Now Chrissy (the woman in the lower picture),
Begged for this man to marry her...
And he never did.
It's simple.
He doesn't want t marry her, if he did, it would have happened a long time ago.
Taking matters into your own hands isn't an act of feminism.
It represents a total lack of self-respect and no dignity.
To be honest, I am ashamed to call Chrissy a Taurus.

Why would a woman propose?
traditional ways are best.
I would never. More power to those who have and will.

I have a frievd who asked her bf.
Well worked together at one point.
He wore the ring around his neck.
He quit pot for her when they got together, she's a ball breaker lawyer type.
He's in environmental science.
3 years on and he's got back problems and some other stress related issues that are psychological
She scolds him like a mom.
"No more weed".
He hides it now and he hides sweets.
Dude he looks like a 6'3" little boy around her when she's mad.
She's always venting about him.
I hate it when ppl bytch about their partners over wine.
It's not right.
They getting married in December.
I would like to be proposed to if it were to happen. It's something my disney brain needs fulfilled.

You would be surprised. There are a lot of women who propose to men.
I knew a couple who proposed like this:
While cooking dinner together:
Woman: hey wanna get married?
Man: yeah sure.

But some women have been dreaming all their life to be proposed the traditional way.
Posted by Infinite8I would never propose to my future wife in public. Always in private. It's non of the strangers bussiness to know what's happening in our romantic life. Private always.Posted by SecretAs soon as my husband(Cancer) and I starting going out, it was very natural for us to talk about marriage, kids, life and dreams... We didn't fear any subjects. After a couple of years, he told me he wanted to marry me and I said I felt the same... But when he proposes, I didn't want any public displays. For me, that moment was private and sacred.

I didn't really care for fairytale weddings or proposals. I was more into finding my soulmate- once he was found, all the small details were not on my priority list, really.

Yes, of course ?
It's been amazing so far. We've been together 13 years, married 6 yrs and we are still on honeymoon stage. He was heaven sent.

Posted by Arielle83That's tacky to pick on someone's weight, either direction.
Ya he seems to attract the ball breakers. The chick before this one was my Virgo boss that picked on my weight at work.
She hated any chick he was frievds with even though she had the head looking like a bucket of smashed crabs.

Chapter one - Men are sexual by nature and women are emotional by nature, women are emotional creatures. You must evolve if you want to beat men at their own game. You must learn to control your emotions When you master the ability to control your emotion
