Is It OK For the Girl to Propose? No Way, Study Suggests | LiveScience

Despite loosening of gender roles at work and in society as a whole, men and women are remarkably traditional when it comes to marriage, new research finds.

In fact, the study of college students at a liberal-leaning university found that not a single man or woman wanted a proposal in which the woman asked the man to marry her. And while 60 percent of women said they were "very willing" or "somewhat willing" to change their surname to their husband's upon marriage, 64 percent of men said they were "very unwilling" or "somewhat unwilling" to do the same for their wives.

I propose you make this a pole, and I'm a girl., and I just proposed.

The kind that TerriT danced with or the kind that's in Misfit's pants?

I hope that all parties involved have at least talked to each other and both agree they see marriage in their future.

I didn't change my name after I got married. :shrug:
But I don't care if people refer to me by my husband's last name.

I'm guessing when she sez: "I'm not going anywhere so I propose that you leave.." is not what we're talking about here?

lesbians can marry now, so a women would need to propose.

See??? I TOLD you!!

And hey girls? We don't ask men on dates, either. Not real men, anyway.

The egg DOES NOT chase the sperm.

Does that mean that 36% of "men" would change their name to their wife's?

I ask again:

Who the hell neutered all these guys?????

Maybe they had goofy last names and did not want to carry it on. :shrug:

Please.

You know you're really the schizz if you can get some schmuck to take your last name....and it's not even *your* name but your ex-husband's.

 

[stockgirl]

Please.

Although I've only ever known one guy that changed his name to his wife's. He hung himself last year and she was arrested for burglarizing local homes a few months back. :shrug:

I don't think that there's anything wrong with a chick asking a guy out though. :shrug:

Kwillia and BG brought up the laziness factor in the other thread. It depends on what you're willing to settle for.

...the study of college students at a liberal-leaning university found...

Liberal-leaning?
Really? Does this even need to be said?

 

[b23hqb]

Never proper. I am old fashioned.

 

[withrespect]

I am also old fashioned and think the man should propose...

I think it would emasculate the man if the woman proposed.... But that is just me. I have been known to be wrong every now and again...

 

[Wenchy]

What does the name game have to do with it?

Propose away..but the name thing has me

 

[GURPS]

Who the hell neutered all these guys?????
