I'd say get ride of engagement rings but American women are hyper-materialistic and consumerist. American women will turn down a marriage or even breakup with you if you propose with a cheap ring or no ring at all.
Nobody stopping a man from getting a ring but I do know men don't generally wear them even married men don't wear rings maybe its because of their jobs i don't know But I dont think we should do away with them
I didn't say do away with wedding rings, but women need to stop putting more importance on the engagement ring than the man giving the ring or the relationship
Agreed how did Madonna put "i live in a material world and im a material girl" aka gold diggers, and weddings to its unbelievable how much some people spend on weddings on a marriage that odds (don't know the percentage) say won't last
Well then, you should of read the reply from the one user, but I deleted her thread once she started insulting my deceased husband... People can insult me all they want, I could give two shits, but some internet pos gold digger isn't going to talk shit about a good man
But basically she was saying she expects her man to show his love by investing in her and lavishing her with expensive gifts... And if he doesn't sirens a lot on the ring or means he loves you less..
I'll be honest Brains, I'd prefer a nut job like that to be super transparent about her insanity. Since it sounds like this would get that done, I'm all for it. By all means--if you're in insane gold-digger insist on a crazy-ass ring. It's going to help everyone out.
I Won’t be Wearing a Ring and feel No Obligation To Wear a Ring. I do what I want and if some Bitch Thinks I’m gonna wear a ring I’m Tossing it In the Lake.
Yeah it's common from what I've seen. Kinda bs the guy always pays for all 4 though.
Why can't the guy get the girl her wedding ring, and the girl gets the guy his? I think thats a better option, because its mutual gifting, and marriage is supposed to be a mutual commitment.
If you read this whole take, I said exactly that: "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 "
Think First and then act on this one! But that's not tricky for you Brains. The point: It's called symbolism. All rather Theatrical buying and presenting symbols

From what I hear it starts with the engagement ring and then the wedding ring followed by the suffer-RING Lol
I already took your soul, I need no ring...

I'm an American woman, and I'm none of those things🤷🏼♀️
Men are lucky to get a sandwich from a woman. A ring is a pretty tall order.

Oh I agree.. People put more importance on the wedding day, then the marriage itself, maybe that's why so many end in divorce🤷🏼♀️
they are a bit pointless but they look nice, you shouldn't spend much on one though
I like the tradition how it is. Sometimes traditions are just meaningful traditions and not something offensive and oppressive
Is this really a huge issue Brains? I kinda feel like this pretty much never happens outside bad TV shows and movies.

Also, sorry to hear she took shots at your late husband. What a scumbag. Also, quite likely a dude.
Could very well be, there's lots of catfish/fake accounts) trolls in this site lately, it's being overrun by anons and fake accounts
Eh--I think it's always had a fair number of dudes pretending to be chicks. But yeah--there's a fair bit of crazy out there.
Yeah there definitely is🤣
Don't let the bastards get you down Brains!
Never ahahaha 😈🤣

Being Told What to Do or Treated like I don’t know what I’m talking about is a Complete Turn off and is only going To make me Be Repulsed by the Girl.
Men do get them, I've not seen an engaged couple where both were not wearing engagment rings.
I've never seen that.. I only see women with engagement rings..
I've only seen men have wedding bands
Everyone I've met they had matching pairs for both.
Tbh I don't see the point, just skip to wedding rings.
That's what I think as well!
But now you got me curious if men really do already get engagement rings, lol so you prompted/inspired my next question lol
Yeah it's common from what I've seen. Kinda bs the guy always pays for all 4 though.
Why can't the guy get the girl her wedding ring, and the girl gets the guy his? I think thats a better option, because its mutual gifting, and marriage is supposed to be a mutual commitment.
If you read this whole take, I said exactly that:
"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 "
I know, I'm agreeing with it.
But I'm also asking why no one does it.
🤷🏼♀️
I wouldn't marry a girl who thinks the ring is the treasure. The marriage is, and the ring is a mere symbol of it.
Not for me lol, any of it. I ain't materialistic.
I'm not either
I can't wear jewelry of any type lol. Just a nice watch
Then she can buy you an engagement watch😊
Lol possibly, as long it's not expensive. I dont care much for that.
Right! I'm more the it's the thought that counts
Think First and then act on this one! But that's not tricky for you Brains.
The point: It's called symbolism.
All rather Theatrical buying and presenting symbols
@OnKoing Or consumerism?
You should buy them from me
I'm not engaged to be married, so no need for an engagement ring lol
Too many rings!
Lolol right!
Get rid of them. I hate rings.
Sure the engagement rings need both of them couple
I'd rather save for the perfect wedding ring.
Good God NO...
It is just a token, not much of a meaning
Both should be
