Engagement Rings...

That is afterall what it's all about.....to show-off to others, especially other females.

While I believe that to be true for a lot of people I don't believe it is for everyone and I think it's men and women who like the show off what they have to both sexes (like having the latest cars, biggest house, yahda yahda).

I actually find the whole give me jewelry for every baby I have for you to be more offensive.

I will PM Velvett the link.... only because she asked to see.

We can't copy/paste the pic. And posting all the info on the boards is waaaaay to kitsch and obnxious... even for me. :) classless, lying, gold-digger that I am. :lmao:

That will look awesome of you - I like it.

I've seen countless times where a women will practicly sprint to the phone or their friends house after being proposed to and the 1st thing they talk about is what carat,clarity,etc all that bullshit and how much he must've spent.

I proposed to my GF late at night(right as she was falling asleep, I had reasons for doing it this way) on the 2nd anniversary of our 1st date so it was dark in my room.

I asked her and she never even looked at the ring, she just said yes, got all weepy/sobby(standard routine) and slammed it on her finger...I didnt even get to put it on her.

She never looked at until hours later when she went home.

I've been looking at rings for a year now and it's the first one that said, "PICK ME!"

I wonder if he'll *do it right* when he gets it... with a big proposal and all. Goodness knows, I am not holding my breath waiting for it (I mean getting presented w/the ring) as no matter how much money we make there ALWAYS seems to be yet another scumbag lawyer in line w/their hand out. Shit, I am still owing the last gaggle...

After all that we've been through it would seem silly on the one hand. I mean, WE ARE married afterall, but still I would like to see what he comes up with... and I am not talking about the ring. I am talking about THE PROPOSAL. Will have to be something VERY creative to top the looneytune wedding we had... :heart:

As you all know - I never got a ring or even a proposal and I still married him. It's interesting... of all the men who made me so many promises over the course of over 5 years - he was THE FIRST ONE to stand by me with all the drama and difficulty and THE FIRST ONE to accept it all. How could I have NOT married him? I mean, isn't that what marriage is supposed to be about?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

you DESERVE the best and biggest??????

That in a nutshell is why women are so fucked up now a days. This ridiculous sense of entitlement.

really, too bad you didn't choke on it ;-)

You don't know me and it's cute how you think you may. I never asked any guy I was with for anything. Everything I have is because I worked for it.
If I were to meet a guy and get married, I would not expect a thing. But the one thing I love (and only started to love in my older yrs) has been a nice ring. Men have never bought me squat nor would I want them to, but if they want to marry me, then all i ask for is a nice ring, not a home, a car..not shit. That is not asking for much.
The ring would not be to show off (since that is so not my character) nor would it be a sense of entitlement. It would be just something I love.
And yes at this point in my life child, damn right I deserve the best, just as I would give the best to whomever I married.

Now choke on that

Symbol of love?
Symbol of willingness to sacrifice?

What do you think it really means when people see metal and rock glittering on a woman's hand?


I just want to add that this is not a thread to flame anyone ideas or desires.

Means nothing to me except that someone had to pay 3-4k for a piece of rock in order to get access to the front door and/or backdoor lol. I barely notice people's ring anyway...
 
means NOTHING...its all about the depth of the relationship...

Actually, rock size is inversely related to the chance the marriage will survive IMO

LOL I guess that means that the Old Grump and I are stuck with one another till the end of time then!

I've been married twice and never received an engagement ring. My first husband did give me a 1/3 carat diamond solitare for xmas after we'd been married about 10 years, and it was a mistake. It was an inexpensive (around $300) engagement ring ... and don't think the fact that it was worth less than his video game systems exactly warmed me up, either. The man had a home and good credit, he was perfectly capable of financing a classy piece of jewlery for me.
Second go 'round, by now I've realized I'm not really a diamond type of gal, anyway. Our wedding bands are plain titanium (not expensive and virtually indestructible, I liked the symbolism).

All big, clearly expensive rings say to me is you've got money to throw away. You don't measure love in carats. You take any 10 freshly married women, some without rings, some with tiny rings, some with the Hope diamond, and 50% of them will be divorced in a few years, anyway. Diamonds may be forever but marriage is generally a crap shoot (especially for first time out of the box 20 somethings).

this seems to happen more often than a truely good natured ; unselfish man who cant afford a nice ring.

All you guys bitching about our "sense of entitlement" are just too selfish to spend money or time/energy on anything other than yourself.

When you meet the right girl, you wont mind spending the money, nor will she need a huge rock on her finger anyway.

A man will spend money on what he cares about most. When a ring is < plamsa tv ; xbox? Thats not a sign of where is heart is?

highly likely - you may want to touch up on your diaper changing :)

Truth be told... he has already cleaned me, so sure... why not?! :)

Of course, when his time comes for that I am thinking he will want a hot young big-tittied Russian blonde! ... God, he really IS a dirty Old Man!!!

A truly good-natured unselfish man will give HIS LIFE, not bitch about *a ring*.... gives away a hint of some of the guys' character on the thread if they answered any other way. 'Course that might be too harsh a statement. Perhaps these men just haven't met a woman that has blown them away to the point where they would WANT to give their lives for her, let alone a silly ring... and you can't fault them for it then. ....or they are just selfish. Matters not to me as I am already married to an amazing man.

MM and I learned this after our first tragic error in whom we chose to waste our affections on. We didn't do a *repeat* second time around. :qt:
 
I honestly would be happy with a plain band. I am really frugal and every time i thought of how much i was spent on the ring I would think "this could have been spent on the house" or when something expensive breaks down I'd look at the ring and think "this money could have been spent on this instead" Someone doesn't have to prove how much they love me by going in debt or spending a year's paycheck. If I've been with a guy long enough that i think it's appropriate to get married then he's already done everything right!

Funny how you're a typical "Feminist when it suits you".


"The ring would not be to show off (since that is so not my character) nor would it be a sense of entitlement"

You just said I DESERVE THE BEST....thats called A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.

Now choke on that moron.

I doubt any of the girls here could get a ring you could choke on.

Quote from your earlier post:

.....hmmm, good question. Symbol if love I would say. If I were to ever get engaged that symbol better be HUGE

And just what symbol or token would you give to to the lucky man who was to marry you? Or in other words what form would your reciprocation for him buying you a nice ring becuase you feel like you deserve the best

How/what can he quantify or measure as a HUGE token or HUGE symbol of deserving and recieving your best?

I am asking you specifically due to the fact that from your posts, you seem very reasonable and void of entitlement in the demands you make of the men in your life vs what you are willing to bring to the table and contribute or reciprocate in the context of a relationship or marriage.
