It's slow and I'm feeling smart assy lol



I'm not saying I deserve anything from some random joe blow but if it's the man who wants to share a life with me then yes, an engagement ring/wedding set is important to me. Doesn't have to be a bridal magazine type ring...something from his heart is all that matters. Something that he took the time and effort to pick out. It's something I'll be wearing forever so it should mean something.

And for the record, men's rings aren't cheap either lol. I paid over $2,000 for my ex's ring so miss me with the "deserving of thousands of dollars" nonsense lol.

That was his mutual wedding band and not some extra engagement bullshit with a fat diamond

Miss me with the false comparison

Off my nuts youngin lol

I would've been fine with just a sweet band, he chose the set not me. The point is that my rings cost thousands, as did his. It's not a one sided deal. And even if it was, who cares?! If we've decided to spend the rest of our days together, your debt is mine and vice versa lol

That's not the usual most men pay for the wedding bands too. And what are you giving him as a token of you sharing your lives together? What are you going to take the time to pick out? Btw 2k is light as fuck. Even broke dudes in NY are dropping 6k minimum for these dumb ass rings.

It's ridiculous to spend that much money on a ring imo.
Are they doing it because the woman is expecting it or because they want to make her happy and THINK she is expecting it?
I don't understand why a symbol of love and commitment is supposed to cost that much.
Maybe Germany is more different than the US than I thought it is.

Because low self esteem women need the approval of everyone in order to enjoy their life long commitment with the man they "love"
If you truly love me I could put that 6k to whatever use I want for US and that would make you happy.
Truth be told I'd rather put that money towards your school loans or something really valuable not some symbol to make people who barely care about you jealous for an hour.

Cant be bothered reading through all the posts but for these last ones... and totally agree with you both here.
I have been saying forever that the diamond industry is inflated BS, compliments of Deebeers who manipulate the market by withholding what is a saturated earth stone..

The money spent on an expensive diamond engagement ring is better served as a down payment on a house.

I never agreed with you more! Spend the money on a nice vacation, a downpayment for a house or whatever is really needed.
I don't know, I couldn't walk around with that much money on my hand.
I would always be scared of getting robbed or losing it.

Yup
I don't get why three months salary (the standard around here) should be spent entirely one person and why on something some frivalous as a damn ring.
I know guys who've spent upwards of 20k on this bs and I know its their money but if the relationship ever ends you're stuck with something you're lucky to get 25% of the money back on. It's a truly dumbass investment.

I say that all the time and the common answer is well I'll get it insured. Why the hell are you buying something that expensive that you'll need another insurance payment in your life?
My girlfriend has already made it clear she wants a ring, truth be told she'll get one but it's not gonna cost more than my mortgage payment that's just insane.

Not to mention, simulated diamonds are just as beautiful.

Keep in mind also that that most expensive engagement rings cannot be worn due to loss or theft. Many rich people wear fakes keeping the real baubles in the safe. So why spend 3 mnths of pay on an inflated rock when you can buy one reasonably priced and have change left over.

Exactly. Something affordable for your income and heartfelt. That's what I imagine most women want. Two of my dear friends walk around with those enormous rocks for wedding rings (one has left hers in the employee bathroom on numerous occasions when washing up...I always take it and swear I'm not gonna return it if I find it again lol). It's crazy. They're beautiful rings but too much for a plain person like me lol. One of my bff's hates diamonds and got engaged with a sapphire band ring. It's stunning and suits her just right. Exactly as it should be. :heart:
