Ladies, you asked for and have received (deservedly so) equal place in society with men. It's the right thing to do. Along with the full privileges comes some responsibilities. Women ought to be full participants in asking men out, paying for dates, and even proposing marriage if they are ready. Men should not be bearing all the risk and cost in relationships anymore. The 50-50 world has arrived.

Answer 2

Yes thats the idea!

Answer 3

Everyday is same day as long as both love each other and promise to keep each other warm, healthy, happy until death do you apart.

Answer 4

Well sometimes men need pushing into it so why not if they give women one every four years a chance to do the right thing!

Answer 5

I would never propose. I've always dreamed of my 'Prince Charming' getting down on one knee and asking me to be his wife.

But that didn't stop me from telling my boyfriend about that tradition last night to freak him out! He said he can't see me on the 29th. (I'm WAY too amused by this by the way) :o)

Answer 6

That is one way of looking at it but at the end of the day we no longer live in th 50's it is time for women to take charge and get what they want. It is unfair to say that she is despreate because she proposed we don't say he is desperate because he proposed. It doesn't make him less of a man it shows him that he obviously has an amazing person who cares enough to propse herself. Plus it must be nervewracking asking someone to marry you so lets give the guy's a break and take charge!

Answer 7

do it and you will show him you realy do love him

Answer 8

It makes a girl look desperate... the reason why the guy hasnt proposed is because he isnt ready or doesnt want marriage. It makes a guy look like a beeyatch, and feel like one.

Answer 9

Dont be so quick to judge!

Answer 10

I think if you and your man are secure in your life with each other than go for it gurl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

Stupid tradition, wouldnt bother me. i dont beleive in marriage anyway.

Answer 12

I am very traditional and would leave it to the guy. I am waiting Lee.....................!

Answer 13

there are no romantics anymore.
my bitxch proposed to me on feb 29th, 13 yrs later i threw her out.
less of a man , nooooo, let her say it, then say, no way baby

Answer 14

i think the woman may resent it later on, because she won't have the idyllic, fantasy proposal story to share with friends and family. if the woman won't hold a grudge against the man later about having to propose and not having a ring presented to her, then she should propose.

my husband and i agreed to get married during a conversation about our lives. it wasn't a formal proposal from either of us. i have no ill feelings about that, but i never fantasized about a perfect proposal or a ring being presented to me on bended knee. but, i know that some women have imagined that moment and may end up proposing because they are tired of waiting for the man to make the first move. that will end up in resentment.

Answer 15

Well if you both love one another would it matter who asked.

Answer 16

I do not agree that's its desperation, in many cases its a case of men not really wanting to take the plunge and women saying I want commitment so marry me or sod off. .

Answer 17

Well,,,,i do not think that manhood is measured in this way at all.

In the contrary, if a proposal by a woman makes a man feel less of a man, I would say he is rather fragile.

Also, I do not believe that if a woman expresses her desire to get married to a man and confesses to him would make her loose her femininity.

What is marriage in the end? Two souls in one, life together.....

and what is he supposed to say??

Well that my woman loves me so much that she is willing to spend the rest of the life with me!

Maybe someone will propose to you soon:)))

Answer 18

Weird, I was talking to a friend about this last night....apparently 700,000 women are planning on asking their men to marry them on 29th Feb (don't know where he got that statistic, but he's the kinda guy that just comes out with stuff like that). Personally I could never propose...I suppose it's the Idealist in me...some things are just better left to the men.

Answer 19

haha maybe i should ask my man out for dinner on the 29th and freak him out! lol

Answer 20

well im proposing to my man on the 29th and no im not desperate, but i aslo aint doing the whole down on one knee thing.

Answer 21

hey if that women wants to marry that man and she can't wait for him to ask.....then go for it girl. my only question....does he get the engagement ring? or does she buy her own?

Answer 22

If she really likes a guy so much that she proposes to him... That's not desperate at all! That's just going for what she wants!
It's 2008 everybody!

Answer 23

Really, who is stupid enough to get married these days.

Answer 24

I totally agree with you. I think proposing is the man's responsibility. A woman who proposes looks both insecure in her relationship and desperate for attention.

Answer 25

Totally RIDICULOUS!!!

Answer 26

No woman who wants to propose to her boyfriend is going to wait until Sadie Hawkins leap day rolls around once every 4 years.

Answer 27

You are so old fashioned!
I asked my man to marry me Not because I am desperate, quite the opposite. I am a grown up woman who knows what she wants and just goes and gets it. I ain't no Cinderella that is going to wait for a man to finally pop the question when he deems it time.

I do agree that the only date a woman is supposed to propose is on Feb 29th is stupid A woman can do what ever a man can and usually she does a better job.

Also could not be bothered with an engagement ring I think that tradition is also hopelessly outdated. Either both wear a ring or neither in engagement and in marriage.

Answer 28

I think it makes a man look like less of a man that he is so insecure in his masculinity that he would feel less of a man if the woman he loved asked him to spend the rest of his life with her.

Why shouldn't a woman ask a man? they are both equal in the relationship.

Answer 29

Lmao.

Tbh, I think it should be fine for both sexes to propose.
Not just a man.

But.. I guess that if I seen a man getting proposed to by a woman I'd laugh.
I know I shouldn't
But.. You never see a man getting proposed to.
It's always the woman.

Answer 30

To me i feel there is nothing bad in it.Why should women be underrated?there should be equalities in gender so what a man can do a woman should be able to.It depends on the level of understanding betwen the two people involevd anyways.its no big deal to me rather its more fun
