I'm with you on this.

By the time a couple has progressed to being ready for marriage they both know it and have had much conversation regarding it.

Asking is just a formality and to create a nice memory/story to share.

I agree. By the time you are ready for the next step - you should actually already be there. By the time we actually got married - it didn't feel any different because we already felt married.

women asking men out on a first date is fine with me, in fact i wish would happen more often, but proposing for marriage should be the man's job

Wouldn't bother me to propose but I don't think it is strictly a man's job to propose. Shoot we never even dated let alone had a proposal we just sort of became we, lived under the same roof for a while then went and got married. No big party or anything like that, we woke up single, showered, dressed, had breakfast, did some sight seeing, had lunch, went and got our marriage license and were married by 5:30pm the same day, celebrated with supper at a steak place and a bottle of the coldest beer I've ever had.
