My mind is blown at the tradition of wedding rings..

[x8Pauly8x]

I told bf if he ever proposes i want a gemstone like aquamarine or opal... diamonds are on everyones finger i want something special (and cheaper, nomsayin)

Yeah I also told my gf I didn't want her to buy me a Lambo. Instead I'll be ok with a brand new Corvette.


Honestly tho I think the best way to find out if your partner isn't a money grubbing sack of chit is to chit test him/her. Its safe to say that anyone who tell you their 'price' is one greedy kunt. Nobody is entitle to anything and if your 'love' for someone is proportional to the crap he/she buy you than do this person a favor and get out of his/her life.

[trufflepigg]

Well, it's a tradition. Cultural thing.

Imagine no Christmas, no New Years Eve... "waste of money on gifts to others".

That's the beauty of the world we're living in.

Although I admit it's kinda crazy how in the Western world the ring must be expensive. The rule of 3 months of salary etc.

You are one of the brainwashed idiots. It's not a tradition, it's been shoved down our throats since around 1920's. Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ and New Years is the beginning of the calender year, these are actual traditions ffs.

Never buying a diamond crew. Don't care how much money I have, bish gets a jewel and/or a nice gold band with our non-legal binding marriage celebration.

Lol at this.
Thing is, society sets the norm for everything. Is it stupid? Yes. Does it matter? In this society it does.

Why do we put a tree in our house every year and put useless shiet under it?
Watch fireworks every 364 days
Put eggs in our lawn once a year
Etc.
It's all useless bs that we are conditioned to due to society. Some choose to do all, some, or none. To each their own.

I dropped $35k on a diamond and no ****s given. My wife only wears it on special occasions

Not exactly sure what you're saying. I do think the act of proposing is cute, and im cool with traditions (like rings) just not the stupid prices. $100 to a few hundred is enough


Edit: not sure what you're saying bc those cars are both stupid expensive..,

lol bear with me, I don't even know what an aquamarine is. Thought it was a movie until now...
I just find it funny how you are basically subtly stating your 'price' that's all. You shouldn't have one. If I care about some chick than I'll take care of her ass but if she come up with some self value chit than its RedFlag City time for me.

Like the other guy said, its tradition I get it. But would you start bishing if your Christmas tree wasn't expensive enough? Do you have a rule that state you need to spend 3month salary on your halloween decorations? Tradition sure are cute but they stop being cute when greedy people kill all the emotional value in them and replace it by financial value.

I see now. I agree with you. It seems like men feel like we wont be pleased unless its an expensive diamond ring, you know? So i told my bf how i would prefer to NOT have a diamond, so that he would know he doesn't even need to mess with that. Then he asked what i would like instead, which is where the other gems came from. Id rather spend money on an awesome ski trip or beach trip that we can both enjoy

A woman will forget a honeymoon and lose some cheap gemstone. All the outside influence from her friends and family won't help. What you're saying is a hypothetical situation, but if it really happened i'm sure your answer would be different. All women think men want to hear "Yeah, I would accept a ring pop and a beer". That is total BS

You're not some cool hip modern chick. You are materialistic and love diamonds no matter what you say. You female miscers are bold face liars if you're going to post that you don't like some of the rarest gems on earth. Like you wouldn't enjoy all your friends mirin your rich husband that bought you a 15k diamond ring.

10 years from now you're going to get slammed by a guy that is willing to spend a little more on you then the guy you marry. Your looks will be long gone and you will be willing to do anything for a little attention. Your husbands cheap gifts won't cut it anymore. If you don't have kids or morals you will more then likely get a divorce and jump to the first guy that shows you a higher standard of living and gives you the diamond you hate so much.

Itt miscers get engagement rings confused with wedding rings

A woman will forget a honeymoon? Thatd be pretty damn weird

[MyManDan26]

Is the high divorce rate weird to you also? A woman does not value a honeymoon the same as a diamond ring she can look at year after year and remind herself to stay in place. Get it?

My husband and I must have had the most untraditional wedding in the world.

BRB married by a judge in a historical part of NYC.

Only a tiny number of friends to be witnesses.

No tux or wedding dress.

No rings exchanged.

After dinner at Bobby Flay's.

Matching tats to symbolize husband and wife.

We'll be celebrating 14 years in May.

this

[Alyion]

Fukin scam dude, my wife would be lucky to get a jubilee clip with a jolly rancher sellotaped to it.

[AndYUKnowThis]

If I ever gets married, the ring will be no more than $400. If the girl doesn't care about the price, she's guaranteed wife material. If she seems disappointed, the relationship is over.

[Legion25]

I remember watching Teen Mom(don't you judge me)Gary
bought his ogre wife Amber a ring from Walmart for like
I think under 50 bucks.

Mind was blown that they sold wedding rings there.

As far as the 3 months salary,I don't think the majority of
Americans fall that rule.

You look like a poverty Jersey Shore *******, nobody is gonna take you seriously.

Let's just call you the Craptuation or the Bitter-ation.

[TexasJaTT]

My boy just proposed to his girl. This guy broke down the industry. He was like bro a diamond, is just a rock. What u buy at a retailer for 8-15K in a nutshell can be bought for less than 3k.

[donblaximus]

Not even 1 month salary homie

Correct. I didn't buy from a retailer, I bought from a wholesaler which still makes money but not as much as the crap they sell at Jared.

From what I understand, wholesalers make about 5-7% on bigger stones.
It's the outfit supplying the wholesalers that makes healthy margin....and there are only a few that control the diamond trade.

You gotta pay to play.

Just curious. Does your husband or you not have a strong relationship with family?
Why weren't they there?

My husband wrote off his family a long time ago and so did I. Too many azzholes and we have no problem calling out idiots regardless of blood.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Staberella]

I'm sorry to hear that.

No reason to be sorry. They are srs idiots. Total hypocrites and such. Picture the most disgusting hypocrites in the world, add some extra azzhole and you have both of our families, aside from my mother, his mother was cool as fukk but she died too young.

The rest can go fist themselves.

[gmenfan40]

It's hilarious, because i will straight up not get married if a female wants an expensive ring.

[GlobalExpress]

I can't imagine my SA spending thousands on a ring just because it is the done thing. Unless we were both extremely wealthy I would feel like she had just wasted a huge amount of money. The people who are laughing all the way to the bank are the jewelers with your money.

When did love become how much you spent on someone?

This probably has more to do with that $6k ring being 1/3rd of your current paycheck.

As you blossom, your network becomes more advanced and you become successful, $6k rings, $12k watches and $1.2k shoes have more appeal.

I'm sorry because one of the most important aspects of life is the bond of a family.
You must understand that as you chose to get married.

[kusok]

De Beers Diamond company scum hired a propaganda expert (who worked for US government to brainwash the stupid population and even wrote the best selling book called "Propaganda") to brainwash the public (that would be you) into buying useless overpriced pieces of earth called diamonds (aka stones). Look it up. The guy started the whole thing with that stupid whore Marylin Manroe parroting repeatedly on radio and TV: "Diamonds are girl's best friend". So after weak minded people hear that a few trillion times, they start believing it like it's fact.


But reality is that people are getting stolen from.

Because they're stupid and easy to manipulate.


Never buying a useless rock crew.
