why is it silly?
can you tell me what the rational point is, other than
1. wasting money to brag about being able to waste money
2. engaging in an insurance fraud scheme

Whatever you do, don't tell these people how you plan to propose.
As long as he isn't gonna put his gf through "hell week" and then propose to her at a tattoo parlor after she rushes there thinking he's getting a nasty full back tat he should be fine.

because it's the OT....everything is trashy, silly, and beneath them.
honest answer is because most of these 20 something year old fatasses can't find a woman that would say yes.

My wife didn't even look at her engagement ring when I proposed. I found a great one (the wife, not the ring). The center diamond was my mom's. So, we have that family heirloom thing going on.
I figure that when my son wants to get married, I'll buy my wife something new and pass this one down again.

The awful truth about engagement rings
My wife lost hers years ago when we were on a trip to Houston. Took if off in our hotel room to do her hair or some shite, and realized it half way back. Not surprisingly the hotel could not find it...huh. We've never replaced it and because she's awesome it's never been a big deal.
Oh...and many years ago I got talked into buying an engagement ring for a girl I was dating long term in college. She literally berated me about it over Christmas and I finally went and bought the damn thing. A month later she gave me the ring back and told me there was someone else. NEWSFLASH: What's worse than trying to go back to a jewelry store to return an engagement ring? Having the owner tell you he could not take it back because it was past 30 days, but I could have store credit. EXACTLY what a 20 year old guy needs...thousands of dollars worth of credit at a store that was actively fricking you.
frick YOU, WILLIAM S. NACOL!
So, yeah...not a fan of engagement rings...

We all know it is an over-inflated market.
But a great woman that is worth spending your whole life with is worth it, and is really a bargain for the price of a diamond.
*If you are still bothered by the cost of the society norms, look at it like this...
if she works, you'll get an infinite return on your $xK investment.

my secret test to eliminate girls from me thinking about marriage

bring up engagement rings and work in a hypothetical regarding engagement rings, and if she requires an engagement ring, she is eliminated in my mind. it's a bigger deal than just the ring; it's a sign of a lot of future conflict

If they do and she says no they'll be better off.

What if she just wants a simple ring or would prefer another stone(ex:aquamarine, etc)?

Nearly 8 years later, my wife still doesn't care about gifts, or possessions in general. I just looked back on mine and her facebook page to see what was posted back when I proposed. There is only one picture that you can really see the ring in. And, it is a picture of us far away with her hand on my shoulder.
Things like this remind of some of the reasons that I fell in love with my wife.

it's still pointless
it's a sign that she wants to make "big money" purchases on pointless things just to fill a social norm
it will always be something similar, just with different stuff. clothing, cars, housing, schools, etc

Even if she would literally be content with a ring that cost you say $200?
Just because you want the symbol doesn't mean you are this high-maintenance, gold digging chick
