Why do many women complain about waiting for their man to propose instead of just going ahead and popping the question?

The man should be a man and ask first. It is ok for a woman to ask.
-
Because women are scared that it will scare off their man. And they should be too lol. If a man hasnt proposed its usually because he isnt ready or hasnt even thought about it. Better for a woman to start dropping hints than popping the question.

Tradition I guess, men are the ones who's always had to be the one to ask. But times have changed, many women do ask the question these days. And get married too, not scaring the guy away.

women are designed to moan. If they arent moaning about being engaged, they are moaning about their man running off or the dishes not being done. Its not the question, its the person constantly moaning!
-
Because they do not want to get rejected. Plus most women like to be chased a bit, makes them feel good about themselves like they are desirable.
-
Tradition, and how it makes them feel. Most every girl dreams about being proposed to. They want to feel the emotion of that moment. They want to be provided for emotionally, and when the woman has to do that it takes away from something wonderful that she aches to experience!
-
Marriage is a fantasy to most women. It's all about the moment and having everything be right. If they have to do it themselves, it ruins the fantasy and then they won't forget how they had to do it and blame the man for not bringing their fantasy to frution.

That's an excellent question. A woman may feel akward in society if she pops the question. Imagine how she would feel when describing to friends or others how they got engaged. It is the social norm for the man to do the honors. With that said, if it is in the woman's personality and she is progressive then it wouldn't be surprising to see the woman do so. I'm also sure many women feel that if a man really loves them and wants to marry them he will pop the question. Are you married or engaged? Did you pop the question? If so, how is it working.?

They get a fantasy in their head, and think that is the only way it should be done. It seems so passive aggressive to me. -
Just like men, they're afraid of rejection. Also, they can't imagine deviating from the cultural script that says men must propose and women must wait for the proposal. Most women dream of being proposed to, not of proposing. They want to feel special and chosen by a man. How can they experience this feeling if they pop the question? How do they know that the man really wants to marry them? After all, maybe he said yes because he wanted free sex for life or out of indifference, not because he loved the woman. Men don't get excited about being proposed to the way that women do. I've imagined what it would be like to pop the question as a woman, and it would probably be very dull. The guy would be more likely to just say, "OK, thanks" rather than being excited about the engagement.
