WHOA! ok,ok I'll tell you why. I'm a guy and let me tell you something if the girl proposes wouldn't that make it pretty odd. the guy proposes because it justs seems right.

talk to me sometime I'll give further info. on this topic! =D

The above is one of the worst answers I've ever read on this site.

The reason 'the guy proposes' and 'it just seems right' is because....well, society has made it a norm for guys to propose. There is nothing inherently 'odd' about the idea of a woman asking a man to marry.

Society continues to lay characteristics/model actions onto people depending on their sex, and the first guy to answer is the type of ignorant person that doesn't notice this, and defends the existing norms without having a clue as to why.

because it is the tradition of the guy to give a girl an engagement if you think about it. it would feel weird for a girl to just walk up to u get on one knee and ask for your hand in marriage and because the girl is the gentle sex so its natural

Unless it is a family heirloom then the young woman can keep the engagement ring as it was a gift to her of the young man's pledge of love.

No, once a woman is given an engagement ring it is hers to keep, but many women would prefer to give the ring back as they are no longer engaged. Also, even if the man gets the engagement ring back it would be crass to give it to another woman should he become engaged again. If the engagement ring was a family heirloom then it would be kind of her to return the ring.
