[quote=Anonymous]I think in theory it's 100% fine for a woman to propose.  The issue, however, is that this concept typically only comes up where the woman has been waiting a long time, making lots of hints, and the guy has not yet proposed.  In other words, where the evidence suggests the guy is not ready/interested in getting married.  So while i think in theory it'd be wonderful for women to propose, in practice it only comes up where it's a really bad idea.

To those who say that the fact he talks kids/house is evidence that he is committed to her.... these are classic and easy things to 'talk' about.  But they are very, very different than pulling the trigger.  Have you gone to open houses?  Has he signed up for a zillow search that emails him all the new listings every morning?  Have you both pulled out all your paperwork to get a mortgage?  If none of those things have happened, if "we want to buy a house" means simply that you talk about which neighborhoods you like, or whether you want a house or a condo with kids, etc, then you guys aren't buying a house. You're just talking, the same way DH and i these days talk about what our next vacation will be post covid.
