WHats stupid is when they get turned down by the chick that was dating them prior... it's silly that women complain that men never wanna settle down but the moment they do BAM they dump the guy publically humiliating him.

There are 3.5 billion women in the world, it's possible some of them want to settle down, and some of them don't.

It is almost never the case that a man makes a huge wedding proposal for a girl who turns him down, you usually don't propose at all until getting engaged has been discussed.

I also like that idea. It's a very Sweet Pea thing to do.

I think it's romantic... and about making sure first that the woman will say yes... why would you propose in the first place if you weren't at least 90 percent certain she wants to marry you!? Just saying...

Kind agreeing. Its a beautiful romantic gesture. While to a lady with a.s its pointless. To a n.t. its a beautiful, Full of tears, god this day would never come, moment. To some its long awaited, long wish planned. For some its the thought and planning that gets them. For some its the fun. Its the effort put in it that really counts

I knew my wife would say yes when I asked her, yet I still opted for private.

When I say I knew, I mean we picked out the engagement ring together, because we had discussed marriage and both of us wanted to.

I was still romantic for her, as she didn't know how or when it would happen (over a year later), and while private she loved the proposal and didn't see it coming and believes she still has a good story to tell people.

I also find it silly the man picks a ring, surely this should be a joint exercise to ensure she gets the ring she wants to wear for the rest of her life. I'd find it a bit arrogant to assume I could pick the perfect ring.

Although funnily enough, when we went to look at rings, we both picked separate rings we liked, so she could try them on (and see how the felt etc) and it turned out they were both the same ring, just different sizes.

I also got an engagement ring, tungsten carbide to reflect the strength of our bond, which I believe a ring is supposed to symbolize.

also:

Quote:

An engagement ring is a ring indicating that the person wearing it is engaged to be married, especially in Western cultures. It represents a formal agreement to future marriage.

We didn't see why this was usually applied only to women, surely I should show my "agreement to future marriage" as well, and it made it feel a lot less like an engagement ring was "buying" her or convincing her to marry me.

We believe everything should be as equal as possible, as that is how we want the rest of our lives to be.

I received a catcall when I was 15. I was slightly embarrassed (nobody about) and quite flattered. It turned out to be a parrot in the doorway of a pet shop. He was a very handsome parrot.

And how would you feel if you'd been catcalled by an ugly parrot? :lol:

All parrots are handsome

I'm quite tempted to get a parrot. My neighbour has a buggery and the same landlord, so if I just get permission for a bird
