Have you ever heard of any cases where the WOMAN proposed to the MAN?

I was reading this Gallup poll, and it said that in 1997 9% of the marriages had the woman propose.

But I've never heard of that!

Do you know of any cases where that happened?

I proposed to my SO about a week and a half ago. And I'm not desperate. We had just had a conversation where he mentioned that he was afraid or expectant of me coming to a realization that he isn't what I want. We'd been discussing marriage for the past few months... so I asked him to marry me. I didn't quite get the answer I wanted, but there's more to that than needs to be mentioned here.

Point is-I proposed to him.

My Stepmother proposed to my Father that way and they've been married for about 14 years.

It doesn't bother me who proposes. I'm just thinkin' about the cake


Nick

Sandy Ego
Yes.

Love my kittys
Yes, several.


CNR
Yeah, it is amazing huh, how the women has to take the mans part LOL


Alloy Boy
Yeah, i've had a woman propose to me. I shot her down in the name of all the men who've been rejected while on one knee.
haha kidding

but really, we were barley 20 and today her and I are both glad I didn't say yes.

It does happen now and then.

This was my husband's proposal:

Me: We really need to go ahead and get married now.

My husband: I'd like to pay off my debt first.

Me: I don't care about your debt, lets just get married.

My husband: I guess we should go look at rings then.

At that point, we left Taco Bell and went to the mall to get our wedding rings. I am NOT lying about this at ALL. He did give me an engagement ring a month or two later, but this was the "proposal" I will always remember. I guess I was the one who 'asked' and hey, we were really young.

It happens a lot when the women are desperate.

Sure, several! To be honest I'm just surprised it's not more than 9%.

Yes. My in-laws have a huge deck around their house. When my mother-in-law mentioned that they were going to build a gazebo in one corner, my wife (then my girlfriend) said "Great. We'll get married there!" That was the first time she'd ever mentioned marriage (though we were living together nearly a year by then). It took them a while to finish that gazebo, but that's where we got married. No proposal, just "we're getting married!". Worked for me.
