Unreasonable and materialistic. She has to be the center of attention, and think she is all that, just because her other half can fork out the $$ on an overpriced piece of jewelry.
That they have fallen for the diamond industry (De Beers) propaganda it was they that 'suggested' that the ring should cost the equivalent of one month of a man's salary and that the ring is a gift, were as the ring is a symbol of a promise to marry and remains the property of the groom.
Good thing I work at mcdonalds... part time
I would think that she is more concerned about the the ring being big than the actual engagement. However there is also another side to the story. It so happens sometimes, it is a girl's dream to have a big wedding, so once she finds a suitable guy who is well off, I don't think in this scenario she is wrong or anything to ask for a big ring.
She cares more about material possessions than the relationship.
What makes you think that? I think it's a symbol of a man going the extra mile, and I think that for most normal women this gesture is just going to be an upwards spiral, with her then continuing to go the extra mile for him.
@NicoletteXO It seemed to me that the tone of the question implied she'd be upset if she didn't get an expensive engagement ring, which is what I replied to.
Taking the question further than that... if the guy is loaded and he cheaps out on her engagement ring, I can see her feeling like he doesn't care as much about her as he should. However, if she's goign to get mad she didn't get an expensive ring because the guy just doesn't have the means or he's going to run himself into debt that he really shouldn't, that's a different issue.
Yes, I’d broadly agree with that.
That she's stupid. What function does a ring do that you won't even notice when your not looking at it?
Might as well get £5 ring from the party shop, what difference does it make?
It's. jus there for the representation that you two are bound together... It doesn't matter the price of the ring... it's like paying for £50000 oxygen
Why pay overpriced oxygen which you won't even notice the difference? Stupid
as long as her man can afford it. she must know what he can afford and where he wants to get in life. she must choose to accept him and his goals in life or find someone else that can fit her
As long as it's a 2 carat round diamond solitaire with a white gold band I'm happy. Honestly really don't like big and flashy rings but that's just me.
They are whores.
Marriage is for morons. Get yourself a nice catholic hispanic girl, they're much better than white women, they also tend to be okay with not marrying as marriage is expensive in South America.
Personally I want tatto rings, because they're permanent. But also, so many of the guys here act like wanting something nice one time for something that stays with you forever makes you a gold digger. I think it takes more than that, you guys need a dictionary.
Girls get brainwashed from the wedding industry. They want the ring, the dress , the whole nine yards. It is not their fault.
High Maintenance and a Problem down the Road. xx
You are correct Paris! 👏
I bought my significant other of 4 years an expensive one. I proposed numerous times never got a yes or a no and I'm still waiting to give the ring to the love of my life. It's a.70ct princess cut with E color VVS1 clarity in 14k white gold. This was an upgrade from the original.50ct princess cut E color VVS1 clarity in 14k white gold. It took me a year and a half almost two years to buy the ring and propose
I wish you every success. Maybe the woman you are proposing to is not the one, but I hope you find the woman you are meant to be with, and who deeply appreciates this.
I'm a girl myself and I never understood why some women want such an expensive ring. What so you can show off? Just no.
They have every right to feel that way, and I can sort of see why they feel that way. They want to feel more valued than their partner's money. That they are a worthwhile partner.
Totally!
I guess it's alright to want one, but getting it is another story. If you get upset with the ring your partner chooses then you're kinda a shitty person. The ring I like isn't even diamond 🤣
I don't think it's bad to want an expensive ring but they should be considerate of the person buying it. I personally wouldn't want to put someone in debt over a hunk of jewelry
I don’t know. When I got married I was very young so money was kind of an issue but I look everywhere to find one that I thought was beautiful. It wasn’t a cheap one I thought it was awesome because it came from my heart ❤️
It’s fine. Most people either want a ring they can show off or don’t care as long as the ring looks nice. If you know you want an expensive ring and have one picked out already, there’s nothing wrong with that.
It's rather pointless and frivolous.
You'd rather get an expensive wedding ring, or a ring you'll actually wear.
Wedding ring that I wear
It shows them commitment.
Marriage... it's been said the amount of money spent on the ceremony is in direct proportion to the percent chance it will fail.
