'A Ugandan lady proposes to her much older boyfriend' . My first thought when I read that was, "This is an anomaly."
Men
are abandoning their position as the wooers and women are taking over.
While some men just want to play, their women want something more
lasting than the girlfriend title. They get tired of waiting for oga to
propose, so they ask the "will you marry me" question themselves.
Sincerely
I wonder what that relationship from onwards will be like. Will the
woman be in charge of the wedding plans? Will she be the one to pay the
man's dowry? Will the man take the woman's love for granted? Cos I
believe for a woman to come to the point of proposing to her man, it's
two things : she must really be in love with him or she is desperate.
And if a man is not man enough to propose to the woman, it's either he
is not ready or he doesn't really love the woman so much as to make her
his wife. What you love, you want to keep permanently, right? Is the
woman not boxing him into a corner by proposing to him in public and to
save her face, says yes so as not to embarrass her? Thoughts thoughts
thoughts on the sensibility of all this.
The
way God created the order of things, men are the ones who woo, who
pursue, who propose. They go out, choose the woman they want to start a
family with. It's not the other way round. But the society today have
changed that, it doesn't matter anymore. Women proposing to men? I
really believe it's an anomaly. The same way a woman is the head of a
home and not the man. It's not normal.
But
why? Why won't a man propose to a woman he has been with for months,
for years? Why? If you really want to keep that woman in your life,
what's holding you down from proposing?
