With the guys that this worked, did they willingly and joyously ask her to marry him?  I'm assuming they aren't quite as non-traditional where she asked him to marry her.  Also checking this wasn't a lazy factor where they stay with her, but aren't looking to marry her.  Also, does the guy appreciate his wife and feels like he won a big prize, and doubly so because she pursued him?  Were they friends/co-workers first and she pursued him?  I would get more details from the guys that are saying this worked.[/quote]

I posted at 13:48 and I just asked my husband these questions. He said that he absolutely feels like he won a big prize with me and that he thinks I'm out of his league. He says that he appreciated that I made it clear I was interested in him. He said that a lot of times, men are expected to do the pursuing with little to no indication if the woman in question is actually interested and then if she rejects them, they are supposed to shake it off like it's not a big deal. He said that rejection is a big deal for everyone, and that when a man sees a confident woman who expresses interest directly, that woman becomes less intimidating than she'd otherwise be.

From my perspective, yes, he joyfully asked me to marry him, with all kinds of romantic fanfare. Staying together isn't a lazy factor so much as something we're both really happy about every day.[/quote]
