AA like your site and all but a woman proposing to you/a guy is odd. Be a man.

Come on man it's the 2000s! I'm just kidding...of course I would.

Random note: One of my friends, a girl, won't marry a guy if he doesn't take her last name. Discuss.

its just a name right, so who cares.

Ummm, then she is going to be single for the rest of her life. I don't care if my last name is Dickbag, she's taking it.

Depends on what her last name is?
If it's Johnson and his friends call him "tiny" -- then I wouldn't do it unless she signs a pledge to have sex EVERY NIGHT.

Man, I hope that wasn't his fiancee finishing fourth.

Meanwhile, back to the race, I can't believe it was voided because of that. Somewhere there's a guy who won a fortune off that race and has had it all taken away from him.

Drunkey McNuderton is going to open his door one to find that guy and a baseball bat. Then his lady will be back on the market again.

AA, if your friend does that he is the world's biggest pussy.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with her? It's one thing for her to ask, it's a whole other thing to threaten not marrying him. She sounds like a real piece of work.

After re-reading your post, I realized I got confused. Your friend is the demanding girl, not the world's biggest pussy. Be a good friend and tell her she's off base. If she still threatens to not marry him for something like that, I'd question her sanity.

If she doesn't want to take his name that's one thing. Or use a hyphen. But making him take her name is just plain wrong and emasculating.

Correct Anon....it's a little crazy. I didn't think she was serious at first, but she seems adamant about it. She also makes more money them him so there's another added twist.

Once dated a girl who announced - way before marriage should have been a realistic consideration - that she expected any guy she married to take her name. We didn't date much longer. The request itself was so troubling (I found it a bit emasculating, but no som much that I wouldn't consider it for the right person) as the sense of entitlement and shallowness that accompanied it. If two people care communicate, this crap isn't an issue. But if one person is so shallow (or insecure or inflexible) that they abandon a relationship because the other person doesn't satisfy some superficial pre-requisite like taking a name, well I guess they don't need to be getting married.
