Women on one knee

[DuncanONeil]

I find anyone going down on one knee ridiculous, it looks cheesy and tacky and if I see someone doing that I am bound to laugh. It is a cheap stunt from someone who cant bring themselves to do or say something original and sincere.

It may seem cheesy and tacky but it is likely a symbol that grew out of that of pledging fealty to the, whichever is appropriate, local ruler. For in essence that is what it is pledging you fealty to another.Having said it that way it would appear that it should not matter which way the proposal is offered, M to F or F to M.

And this whole business that it has to be a man who proposes is...well, rubbish. If the relationship is true, if the bond is real and the sentiment and commitment are there, its irrelevant who does it. Its the moment that counts, its mutual. But here is why women prefer men to propose...most relationships, especially vanilla ones, are less sincere than it is politically correct to say, there is rarely security of being on the same page so if a woman proposed she would always wonder if he married her because he really wanted to or because it was convenient for him to say yes. Plus, there is that childish tarty game of playing hard-to-get, (yeah right).
