Get her a great ring if she can last 10 years. A better one after 20 years. The first ring I got my wife when we got married was 300 dollars. She gets a better one every 10 years. We been together 45 years.
Well a 300 ring 45yrd ago is probably more like 1k today, but I understand and appreciate the sentiment
Personally it should be within the person's means. You do not go into debt. You do not want to go into marriage with debt.
It's just a temporary ring until the wedding ring.
No, many engagement rings are designed to sit naturally with the wedding ring and to be worn together

Here, or just look up “engagement wedding ring band set”
There is no right or wrong price, just don't get some ridiculously expensive ring that you can't afford
a ps5 if $500+ so. i picked 300-500 and don't give a damn what other guys think.
For me it would cost nothing because I don’t plan on getting married.
A ring is solely a symbol of your commitment while the commitment is what truly matters. Save money on the ring and apply it towards the celebration of your commitment ie the wedding or towards the prosperity of your future together.
Weddings are more silly than rings in my opinion, as a wedding is just a big party for everyone else. An engagement ring is the man making a selfless decision on his desired future wife.
Right in the middle of a typical ring is the 2 carat Tiffany for $56,000 right now.
That is half of my student debt and I am not even finish university yet 🤦♀️
Depends. In this woke ass world, I really believe you should be more specific.
Huh?
We live in a woke ass world. Comprehend? Details. It's not just about, what should be expected in standard situations. It's about what the "spectrum" dictates. We can't have normal general questions about this situation. When you ask this question, it makes me wonder if you are normal, or a Social Justice Warrior trying irk people.
Im conservative. It would be that SJWs and Incels (the extreme on both ends) would both typically disagree with the idea of spending anything on rings or getting them at all in general.
I was pretty specific though, sorry the pole doesn’t allow you to put it down to the penny? I don’t really understand why you’re looking for. The comments are open to explain your rational for your answers, what more do you want? 😂
What I was getting at is the world now has people who are tranny, gay, lesbian etc. They can get married. But who wears the pants exactly? Which upon them is the traditional "guy" who needs to dole out the money? And also, in this woke ass day and age, a Whamen, aka Women, might want to be the traditional "person" who buys their man a ring or propose marriage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WonOudGMSdc
Let’s assume we’re not talking about those weirdos lmao I already told you
Okay then, in my opinion an engagement ring, which is bought upon the thinking a traditional straight man would buy it for a straight woman is roughly zero. I'm all sorts of traditional. But I'm not stupid. She wants the ring? She gets it upon Marriage. She doesn't get two rings. She doesn't get the ability to make you a silly nanny, when a Marriage in this day and age will likely end up in divorce.
Well would you be fine with her not taking your last name and also the kids not taking it or having it hyphenated?

I'm not that stupid. We get back to the thing. Who wears the pants? If you are okay with her wearing the pants? Then she does everything. She should be the one who opens your door for you to SIT SHOTGUN. She should be the one who buys YOU the engagement ring. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a cuck. To be the stay at home husband. I would never put my self in that situation. If that's what you want to do? Knock your self out. She doesn't want your last name, and she wants to hyphenate? Simply because her last name won't live on? That's a DUDES domain.
Exactly, which is my point that you should get her a nice ring because that’s her domain. You don’t have to understand it to respect it. It’s showing you value her more than a Claire’s 10$ piece of plastic. It’s showcasing you being selfless, the same as the woman taking your last name is a very difficult thing to do but she does it out of love.
If you don’t trust her or don’t think she actually wants to marry you, maybe don’t propose. If you do trust her and trust your judgement, then put your heart on the line as she’ll do for you.
Screw that. What you find out is that after the Diamond falls out, and the search ensues, that is when you see, your love knows no bounds. To take in a Child that wasn't your own, and create two new lives. You do something, where you have a Family. You bring dogs and cats and family together. My old man didn't do the thing of where he wore a ring. He never did. My ma lost her diamond. We do not care. Those are simple trinkets. How you react and be the best man you can be, That is where it counts.
And guess what? If you are a cuck to a Doctor or an Attorney? She should hyphenate. They should not take your NAME. You are likening your selves, to have a GRAND HOME. A GRAND home that has an indoor basketball court or Pool. 3 kids right? The kids are supposed to have a Grand Life. And they have the last name of who? The woman? Nope. But the woman rules the roost. Will not and cannot have a WILL where the man is a simpleton. He is a butthurt individual.
Thanks for proving my point ☺️😉
Whats the point? You don't have a man. You can't put yourself in place where you must be the Primary Caregiver. Every human being must need a Mom and Dad. Take responsibility. Don't get preggos. It's easy. It's easy to not be sleazy. If you want to have a child, simply do it to it.
I do, but that wasn’t the point you already proved.
Don't be a slut. If you can be a man and have Cops telling you are shopping for Broads on what ever street.
Don’t be a rapist
What I was trying to get at it. How do you do it? You find true love. She's the one that is the bread winner. She did the time, College wise and paying off her debts (lawyer or doctor. But, she's the dude. Right? She wants her name to live on, where as it can't? (Not enough dudes to make it happen in her family) Whamen can wear the pants. They want their name to live on. So, who has the balls? Apparently, Women have balls. I must trust you a lot. You may not understand it. This is what I sent to one of my brothers. It's just basically documentation. Just fun times, where the medical community tells you, they can tell you what you don't have. But, they can't tell you what you have. Then after this that and the other thing, progress simply is you have brain disease. After 15 years.

It should cost whatever a guy can afford and/or wants to pay. The bottom line is, it shouldn't matter. The fact it is such a status symbol for so many women speaks to the entitlement of women when it comes to a man's money.
He can give me a cheap $20 ring for all I care but it would a great feeling to be consider a wife finally and not an eternal girlfriend. Dating forever and no engagement feels like the person that never got kissed, feels like the ''forever alone'' person.
@Vesuvius87 I can understand that.
I find it unbelievable whenever I read about a woman that demands a better ring and I'm thinking ''girl you already got what some of us never get from a man and you're still complaining''.
I believe those are indeed entitled ones.
@Vesuvius87 Yeah I agree. Best of luck you you.
Whatever the person buying the ring is willing to spend on it.
It doesn’t matter. It can be cheap or expensive. It’s about love. Not material objects
So you don’t want to get her one?
Depends on my budget. But if she measures love in material objects. She is t marriage material for me
Yeah just don’t get her anything if you even have a good budget. Your wallet is yours, why does she deserve to have you spend anything on her? I don’t believe you should give partners birthday or Christmas gifts either, or buy them snacks. That’s all silly, it’s my money! She can buy her own stuff.
Lmao okay I never said I wouldn’t spend money on someone
I said it shouldn’t be measured in material objects. Me and my SO get each other stuff all the time
Mind your business lady. You don’t know me and are jumping to the wrong conclusions.
You asked the fucking question and want to argue when people answer.
No I’m agreeing with you, don’t get her a ring.
Okay have a good day
I can do whatever I want. If you’re not looking for love. That’s why you’re miserable.
Just don’t get her one
If she really loves you, she’ll be happy never getting anything extra or special. That’s how you’ll know.
Thanks you’re right. Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusions. I don’t have anything against getting someone gifts though.
No, she may just be with you for the gifts. So I don’t think even those should be bought. You never know, so make sure to test her as much as possible. Even if she gets you things, it could just be a ploy to try and make you get her something nicer. So you can out manipulate her by calling the bluff and seeing if she got you the gift for pure intentions.
She’s not
I even asked her to stop getting me stuff because I feel bad. She makes more then me. But I don’t use her for money either.
I want companionship and love. That’s what matters to me
How does she know you’re not using her?
Why do you keep asking me questions about this? Because we love each other.
But I don’t get into my personal life on GAG
I think it’s possible you’re using her. Everyone always only want gifts if they’re trying to use the other person for money
Also, you offered the information
I’m not. You keep asking me stuff.
Because we do more then just buy each other shit. But that isn’t your concern
I think you’re a gold digger
3 months salary; so if you die she can pawn it off and support herself while she grieves.
😭 bruh, I mean life insurance works too but you’ve got hella gentleman mentality right there. I hope your wife is appreciating you. Maybe I’ll remake this and base it on salary amount 🤔
Well the ring will tide her over while the insurance company drags their feet. Also I am currently unmarried.
That’s a fair point. That makes sense why a wedding ring isn’t too expensive either, so she’ll save it.
As much as you can afford. It is only a ring.
Under 1000 if it's fake
+1000 for poc
I don't know, how much does a box of Crackerjack cost, these days?
I’m not sure, but I want it to have diamonds
When Ricky's daughter got married on the "Trailer Park Boys", they used an onion ring.
Rings don't matter.
Why start off with an expensive ring for the woman and financial stress for the man?
I spent over $50,000...
