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.

That will look awesome of you - I like it.
Solid strong with some delicate features.

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...

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
