Should men also get promise rings or engagement rings? Or should we just do away with engagement rings all together?

I've seen so many posts by women complaining about their engagement ring:

"He "only" paid (enter amount here)....

"The stone isn't big enough"..

And, whatever other complaints they have🙄

It really got me to thinking why do women even get an engagement ring and a wedding ring, yet men only get a wedding ring...

We know what the wedding rings are supposed to symbolize:

Sometimes I think the real reason is some women want to have something to show off... "See what (enter name) bought me, He really loves me"...The "He went to Jared's" moment...

It seems like "showing off" the ring has become more important than the giving of the ring or the giver. It shouldn't have to be expensive, or bigger and better than their friends rings. It shouldn't matter what other people think about the ring.

And then, to top it off, some women act so unappreciative about it or entitled with it...

So how about women start buying their fiance an engagement ring as well?

Then maybe they'd see/feel how men feel when they spend their hard earned money on a ring, only for some women to put more importance on the cost than the gesture or the man himself....

I mean, Ladies how would you feel if you felt pressured to buy an expensive ring to prove your love (bad enough) but then for your fiance to acts like it wasn't good enough or expensive enough. Or if he cared more what his friends/family thought about it, then that it was a special gift to symbolize your engagement?

Halfway through making this Mytake, I read a comment from a moderator that said a lot of these posts are created by the same troll. I believe that. Just like the same troll that was creating both blue and pink accounts to claim all women are bi sexual🙄🤣

So I was going to scrap this Mytake.

But I decided to post it because I do believe that there are some women that really do behave that way. Gold diggers are real lol Just not all women are gold diggers.

And I do believe men feel that pressure. That it has to be a big, expensive ring. Noone should have to "buy" someone's love or acceptance.

Why aren't wedding bands enough? And then have a female and male design that matches and cost the same. And he can buy hers and she can buy his 🤷🏼‍♀️

If a man chooses to buy a ring and she accepts, that's one thing but I don't think it should be an expectation.

We need to go back to when rings were more about the love/commitment they're meant to symbolize and not money...

And in times where(at least on GAG) some men think all women are the same, men will think that's what all women want

And that just isn't the case...

In closing, love should be about emotional connection/chemistry not materialistic...

As Always, Thanks for reading💛
