Why Women Won't Propose

In the latest episode of "Love and Hip Hop"  Chrissy (pictured left) publicly proposed to her rapper boyfriend, Jim Jones. Viewers response to her actions created an interesting debate of whether or not a woman should ask a man to marry.  

I was shocked to read the comments about Chrissy's proposal.  Many women, said she was "foolish" and "desperate" not only because Jim is a dog, but because "he should be the one to ask."  In traditional times, the man asking a woman is ideal, but does that tradition apply to the world we live in today?

Most women WANT to get married, but reject the idea of being the one to ask.  Partly because it's not the tradition, but mainly because they are afraid of being rejected.  It amazes me how women hold on to certain traditional values but let others fall by the waist side.  Like waiting to have sex until married, living together, or children out of wedlock....the list goes on.  But when it comes to proposing the majority of women would rather wait for years, wasting time, in hopes their man will pop the question instead of being the one to ask.    

I think its great that Chrissy proposed to Jim.  She should be looked upon as an example for women of the 21century.  A woman that loves her man and is not afraid to show it.  A take action kind of woman, that will take the initiative to achieve what she wants in life rather than sitting back and waiting for it to happen.  Being proposed to is nice, but ultimately being together IS the big picture....right?
