So a man may boldly approach a woman to plead to marry her. Ok.


However, is it proper for a woman to do the same? Or is that weird?

I do not think it is proper for a woman to become the huntress. It's too easy for them to sully their reputation by being aggressive. They best that they can do is to make themselves available. But with all of the competition today, women are getting more aggressive I've noticed. Most men don't like this and will show her the door if she pleads for him to marry her. I know someone who did this...and got showed the door over it.
 
Over the years, entertaining, I was offered a lot of things but I never had a proposal fr marriage. It has been my experience that aggressive women are not ladies. I cannot think of a nicer way to put that so all you need to figure out is what are you willing to accept.
 
Over 30 years ago, I said to my then boyfriend, "so when are we getting married?" Six months later we were married and we're still married to this day. Sometimes you guys just need a little push.
 
I think gentlemen can take thing very slow.
I can only offer two prospectives; one from my German routes and one from British culture where I now reside.

  1. In Germany 9.9/10 men propose; this leaves a mere few hundred that do not and it is the women that make the first move towards marriage. Personally, being raised in Germany, I would be the first to propose and would feel a little uncomfortable with a woman proposing to me first.
  2. In Britain I am aware of people I know who are female that have proposed first; there is such diversity in the UK that I would be comfortable stating it is 50/50 here. Women here seem to be fast paced and when they are ready for marriage they will make this known or propose.

For all of my vanity on the stage and for all of the foolish "They can't kill me" of Vietnam, without my wife of the past 25+ years, I would not be spit.
 
I tend to believe that it's a matter of preference.

A strong personality in a woman to me is awesome. That doesn't mean brash or loud. But one confident and of noble character. So she asks me out...No big deal. So she hints hard for a wedding...No big deal. Often my head is elsewhere in focus. And when someone is right they are just right.

For other guys a strong personality in a woman is horrible. It's a complete turn off. They run away from that like it's poison.

But I've always liked the strong personality girls. I want an equal partner and not one that gets run over by my personality.
The two of us together make for a formidable force...One not easily discounted.
 
There are still more other approaches, when the woman says:

I. I want you to marry me
II. I want to marry you
