Some facts about marriage proposals:

* 54% of men still get down on one knee

* 44% of men ask their partner's father for permission to marry

* 57% of men cry when she said yes

* 65% of women say he could have put more effort and preparation into the proposal

* 25% of couples wait longer than five years before taking their relationship that step further

* 23% of women have been proposed to more than once

* 69% of women thought the timing of the proposal in their relationship was perfect

So I'm guessing that you equate romance for being wimpy? Sleep alone much? Romance isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of intimacy.

I'll give you that some of those don't exactly make you look like John Wayne, but what's wrong with asking the father's permission? The way I see it, it's one man showing respect for another man, and what could be more manly than that?

I'm one of those.. and each time i was asked was different... the last of which i guess you could say was the one with the least hoopla... but actually i think it turned out the sweetest...

I never asked my wife's dad for permission. She just met him for the first time about 2-3 years ago, and we were married in 98. Holy crap, it's almost been 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad was in Oklahoma on storm trouble whenever my boyfriend asked me... so i guess asking daddy first would have been a little hard...
