Ladies, at what age are you most likely to say 'Yes'?

Post Reply New Topic

When are women the most likely to say 'Yes' when a man they love asks them in marriage? In the old days people got married early, now they seem to get married at 30-ish. What do you think, if you met a man whom you loved with all your heart at what age would you most likely want to say 'Yes'?

I refused to get married until I had finished my university degree. Now, in retrospect, I think even that was too young and that nobody should be allowed to marry before they're 30.

when someone who i want to marry asks me

Marriage is pretty dumb, if you ask me. I tried it, won't do it again.

FTR, I was 20 when I said yes. Very stupid move on my part.

This. I marked 26-30 because I want to get a degree and stable job before marrying, but it still varies. If I hit 30 and I'm not close to being married, I'm not going to rush into a relationship just to marry someone. It's hard to put an age on this, but I would like to have children relatively early (early 30s at the latest), so I wouldn't like to wait too long.

I voted for myself, not for women in general. I know girls who marry at 18, even now (and not because they're pregnant and don't want a baby out of wedlock either), and some who don't want to marry. There's no universal answer.

I'd say "yes" tomorrow if the right person asked me.
Same as when I was 18.
I'm 23 now- my parents (still together) were a year married at my age.

How would you like to be proposed to? Kneeling with a diamond ring? Or are you ladies the kind that wants to go shopping for a ring?

I'd do the kneeling thing for Miss Right, I think it is much more romantic.

I don't really believe in marriage to be honest. Maybe it's because I find it highly unlikely that I'll ever find a beautiful lady who will want to marry me.

Age doesn't come into it, it would depend on if I came across the right person who would make a kind and considerate husband.

Oh, this is about marriage. I thought I was going to learn something important.

I don't do romantic. If I were to consider marriage again, I would much prefer my partner and I have a sensible talk about it ahead of time. Ring doesn't matter, but I refused to wear one with my ex unless he wore one as well.

I don't like being 'branded'.

It really depends.

I am not ready for marriage. I feel like a kid and am happy with my own company. I voted 35-42.

Whatever is personal and fits our relationship.

If we talked about it and decided without any official big proposal, fine. If the guy wanted to pick out a ring and surprise me on a gondola or something, also fine.

The only one I am absolutely not fine with is a very public proposal - whether it's at a sports stadium or a flash mob. If that's not someone guilting you into saying "yes" I don't know what is.

I'm in sort of that situation with my gf/sort of fiancee lately. I say "sort of" because we've briefly discussed it and have decided that we want to eventually, but neither of us has really proposed. (How often do girls actually do that anyway?) I always thought the proposal out of the blue was a bit insane, setting oneself up for possible disaster, and possibly even putting the other person in a very uncomfortable spot if they can't honestly say yes. This way just makes sense to me.

Also, I think it's funny that > 50% have voted for the "I'm a guy" option when the topic is technically directed toward "ladies".

I don't know how often, but I do know girls propose.

My ex and I discussed marriage long before he proposed to me. He even took me to the mall and had me tell him what type of rings I liked best. Sensible.

IDK about this whole 'on one knee' proposal thing, though. It seems like a hollow gesture. I mean... isn't it uncomfortable for most people? Meh... I don't get most 'romantic' stuff.

Yeahh that would make me really uncomfortable.

Hmm anyways. If I were to marry, I would like it to be before I am 30... I always wanted to get married really young, but guess that didn't happen...
